Description

The stomach channel of foot yangming starts in the nose and travels to shenting (Numinous Courtyard) on the forehead. It divides into branches. It belongs to the stomach and connects with the spleen. There are 45 acu-moxa locations on this channel (i.e. 90 altogether on both sides of the body), all of which are clearly labelled. See 'Lettering' for full list of point names.
