The Large Intestine
Meridian starts in the tip of each index finger and rises along the lateral
side of the forearm and the anterior side of the upper arm to reach the highest
points in the shoulder. here it diverges into two branches. One travels internally
into the lungs, diaphragm, and large intestine. The other flows externally,
passing the neck and cheek to enter the lower teeth and gums, and then on to
the other end of the nose.
Acupuncture points in this
meridian are indicated for diseases affecting the head, face, pharynx (throat),
febrile conditions and other symptoms along the meridian pathway.
