Associated with annoyanceThe Stomach Meridian emerges from the end of
the Large Intestine Meridian just under the eyes. It then goes around the nose
to encircle the bridge of the nose, simultaneously going down around the mouth
and up each cheek to the forehead. It then travels from the lower jaw through
the neck to the sternum, where it divides into two branches. One branch passes
down the chest, belly, and groin, and continues down each leg, ending at the
tip of the second toe.
Acupuncture points in this
meridian are indicated for certain gastroenteric diseases, toothaches and
mental illnesses. Conditions that affect areas through which the meridian
passes such as the head, face, eyes, nose and mouth can also benefit from
stimulation of the acupuncture points along this meridian.
