Description
The heart channel of hand shaoyin originates in the heart, which is its home, and descends to connect with the small intestine. Another branch ascends to the eye. There are 9 acu-moxa locations on this channel (i.e. 18 altogether on both sides of the body), all of which are clearly labelled. See 'Lettering' for full list of point names.
