How well do you understand the anatomy of meridian relationships?
In traditional theories of the meridians, we speak of the connections between the channels as defined by internal - external relationships, the horary cycle, and meridian name designations.

For instance, the yang ming channels of the ST and LI are an important meridian connection. We can use points on the ST meridian to treat the LI, and vice a versa, LI points can treat the stomach.

Similarly, the jue yin connection between the LV and PC means we can use PC points like PC 6 to treat liver patterns. Understanding these meridian relationships, as well as the fascial anatomy behind it, is essential to mastering the art and science of acupuncture.

Learning fascial line anatomy and how this relates to the diverse meridian connections is a keystone of improving your practice.
