• The Large Intestine Meridian of
  Hand-YangMing begins at the tip of the index
  finger). It runs upwards along the radial aspect
  of the index finger and passing through the
  interosseous space of the 1st and 2nd metacarpal
  bones Hegu(LI 4) where it enters the depression
  between the tendons of extensor pollicis longus
  and brevis. Then, it runs along the anterior
  aspect of the forearm until it reaches the
  lateral aspect of the elbow. From there, it
  ascends along the posterio-lateral aspect of the
  upper arm to the highest point of the shoulder
  Jianyu(LI 15). At the anterior border of the
  acromion, it ascends to the 7th cervical vertebra
  (the confluence of the three yang meridians of
  the hand and foot Dazhui(GV14) it then descends
  to Quepen(ST12) (in the supraclavicular fossa) to
  connect with its corresponding zang-fu organ.
  Finally, it then passes through the diaphragm
  and enters the large intestine, its associated
  organ.
• The branch from Quepen(ST12) runs upwards to the
  neck, passes through the cheek and enters the
  lower gums. Then it turns back to the upper lip
  and crosses the opposite meridian at the
  philtrum. From there, the left meridian goes to
  the right and the right meridian to the left, on
  the opposite sides of the nose Yingxiang(LI 20),
  where the Large Intestine meridian links with the
  Stomach Meridian of Foot- YangMing.
