Q

Primary channel

A

starts from dorsal hairy region of great toe
upward along dorsum of foot
passing thru LV 4 - 1 cun in front of menial malleolus
ascends and at 8 cun above medial malleolus it runs across and behind SP channel
runs further up to medial side of knee and along medial aspect of the thigh to the pubic hair region
turns upward and curves around ST to enter LV and connects w/ GB
passes thru diaphragm- branching out on costal and hypochondriac region
ascends posterior aspect of throat to nasopharynx and connects to eye system
upward and emerging from forehead and meets Du channel at vertex

LV 1

Study These Flashcards
A

Jing well/wood (used to be in hairy region of big toe)

lateral aspect of Big toe
.1 cun from corner of nail
Perp or oblique proximally .1-.2 or prick to bleed

  1. restores consciousness
  2. depression, crying, fear of ghosts, nocturea (moxa)
  3. acute sudden pain- stronger than Xi -cleft
  4. marked action on lower jiao: dysmenorrhea, ectopic pregnancy (go to ER), UTI, cystitis, erectile dysfunction, itchy groin, vaginal d/c, painful urination
  5. shan ( hernia, pain in lower abd, swelling) disorder, - treat opposite side from pain:
  • Qi stag
  • cold in LV channel
  • damp-heat
  • traumatic injury

Q

LV 2

Study These Flashcards
A

Ying-spring/fire/sedation- cooling if PT has fire

dorsum of foot between 1st and 2nd toe
proximal to the margin of the web
.5- 1 cun obliq towards heel or perp .5- .8

  1. descends (rebellious) LV qi: LV qi stag in LU
  2. descends LV fire: head, emotion, lower jiao
  3. cools blood/stops bleeding
  4. benefits lower jiao
25
