Figure of Acupoints of the Hand-Shaoyin Heart Meridian
The meridian of the Hand-Shaoyin Heart originates from the heart, emerges to connect with the heart system (tissues connecting the heart to other organs), descends through the diaphragm, and links with the small intestine. Its branch ascends from the heart system, flanking the pharynx, and connects with the eye system. The main trunk again ascends from the heart system to the lung, emerges from the axilla, descends along the posterior medial aspect of the upper arm, running posterior to the Hand-Taiyin Lung Meridian and the Hand-Jueyin Pericardium Meridian, reaches the medial aspect of the elbow, follows the posterior medial aspect of the forearm, arrives at the end of the ulnar styloid process (pisiform bone) at the wrist, enters the medial palm, follows the medial side of the little finger, and exits at its tip. The prominence below the wrist is called the sharp bone (ulnar styloid). From Shaohai (HT3) downwards along the posterior medial aspect of the forearm, passing through Lingdao (HT4) and Tongli (HT5), it reaches the end of the sharp bone at the wrist, passes through Yinxi (HT6) and Shenmen (HT7), enters the medial palm, reaches Shaofu (HT8), follows to Shaochong (HT9) at the tip of the little finger, and terminates there, transferring to the Hand-Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian.
