Liver Channel (LIV)

Circuit: Human 人 – PC → SJ → GB → LIV

Organs connected: LIV, GB, (LU, ST)

Pathway

1. Starts on top of the big toe and crosses the top of the foot,
2. rising in front of the inner ankle and along the medial lower leg and knee (crossing: SP-6).
3. Continues up the medial thigh (crossing: SP-13, SP-12)
4. to the pubic region, where it circles the external genitalia before entering the lower abdomen (crossing: REN-2, REN-3, REN-4).
5. It rises internally,
6. links with its own organ, the LIV,
7. and with the GB, and spreads out beneath the ribs
8. before flowing into the LU, where it links with the LU Meridian.
9. Here the whole cycle of the Meridian system starts again. Re-forming, the Meridian follows the trachea up to the throat
10. and links with the eyes. Two branches leave the eye area:
11. one goes down across the cheek and circles the inner surface of the lips;
12. the other rises across the forehead to the vertex of the head (crossing: DU-20).

Crossing Points

SP-6, SP-13, SP-12, REN-2, REN-3, REN-4, DU-20
