手厥阴心包络的经脉，起始于胸中，向外归属于心包，向下穿过膈肌，依次联络上、中、下三焦。其分支从胸部出于胁部，下行至腋下三寸处，向上到达腋下，沿上臂内侧行于手太阴肺经和手少阴心经之间，进入肘窝中，再沿前臂行于两条肌腱之间，进入手掌中心，沿中指直达其末端；另一分支从掌心中分出，沿无名指直达其末端。当本经发生病变时，会出现手心发热、肘部拘挛僵硬、腋窝肿胀，严重时出现胸胁支撑胀满感，心中悸动不安，面色发红，目睛发黄，喜笑不止。本经主要主管脉所发生的疾病，症状包括心烦、心痛、掌心发热。实证表现为气口脉搏比人迎脉搏大一倍，虚证则气口脉搏反而小于人迎脉搏。
手厥阴心包络的别络，名为内关，位于腕横纹上二寸处，出于前臂两筋之间，沿经脉上行，联系于心包络。心系（心脏及其系连组织）实证会导致心痛，虚证则导致心烦，治疗时应取两筋之间的穴位。
手厥阴心包络的筋，起始于中指，与手太阴肺经的筋并行，结聚于肘部内侧，沿上臂内侧上行，结聚于腋下，向下散布于前后挟持胁肋的部位。其分支进入腋窝，散布于胸中，结聚于贲门（胃的上口）。该经筋发病时，在其循行部位会出现支撑性疼痛、转筋（肌肉痉挛），并伴有胸痛、呼吸急促（息贲）。治疗采用燔针劫刺法（烧红的针快速刺入），以病情见效为针刺次数的标准，以痛点为施治部位，这种病症称为孟冬痹。
手厥阴心包脉，从腹部走向手部，长度三尺五寸，左右两侧共七尺，共有十八个穴位。

凡是这条手厥阴心包经的经脉，特点是多血少气。针刺时应使其出血以排出恶气。该经从内脏走向手部，施治时要审察经气运行的顺逆而迎随补泻。实证用泻法，虚证用补法，热证速刺不留针，寒证留针久一点，脉陷下者用灸法，不虚不实者取本经穴位治疗，这就是治疗厥阴经的方法。
The Pericardium Meridian of Hand-Jueyin originates in the chest, emerges to connect with the Pericardium (Pericardium), descends through the diaphragm, and successively links with the Triple Burner (Triple Energizer). Its branch follows the chest, emerges from the hypochondrium, descends three cun below the axilla, ascends to reach the axilla, runs along the medial aspect of the upper arm between the Taiyin (Lung) and Shaoyin (Heart) meridians, enters the elbow midpoint, descends along the forearm between two tendons, enters the center of the palm, and follows the middle finger to its tip. Another branch diverges from the center of the palm, follows the ring finger to its tip. When this meridian is disturbed, it causes heat in the palm, spasm and stiffness of the elbow, swelling of the axilla; in severe cases, it causes a sensation of fullness and distension in the chest and hypochondrium, palpitations (dandan dadong) of the heart, red face, yellow eyes, and incessant laughter. This meridian primarily governs diseases of the vessels, manifesting as vexation, heart pain, and heat in the palm. In excess conditions, the Qi Kou pulse is twice as large as the Ying Yang pulse; in deficiency conditions, the Qi Kou pulse is smaller than the Ying Yang pulse.
The Luo-connecting vessel of the Pericardium of Hand-Jueyin is named Neiguan (Inner Pass), located two cun above the wrist crease, emerging between the two tendons of the forearm, ascending along the meridian to connect with the Pericardium. Excess of the Heart system causes heart pain, while deficiency causes vexation; treatment involves needling the point between the two tendons.
The sinews of the Pericardium of Hand-Jueyin originate at the middle finger, run parallel with the sinews of the Taiyin (Lung) meridian, knot at the medial aspect of the elbow, ascend along the medial aspect of the upper arm, knot at the axilla, and descend to scatter anteriorly and posteriorly flanking the hypochondrium. Its branch enters the axilla, scatters in the chest, and knots at the贲 (cardia/upper stomach opening). Disease in these sinews manifests as support-like pain, spasms (zhuan jin) at the sites traversed, accompanied by chest pain and rapid breathing (xiben). Treatment employs burning needle puncture (fanzhen jiesi), with the number of sessions determined by when symptoms improve, and the painful area as the target. This condition is called Mengdong Bi (Early Winter Bi Syndrome).
The Pericardium Pulse of Hand-Jueyin travels from the abdomen to the hand, measuring three chi and five cun in length, totaling seven chi for both sides, comprising eighteen acupoints in total.

It is the He-Sea point of the Pericardium Meridian of Hand-Jueyin. It treats heart pain, susceptibility to fright, body heat, vexation and thirst, dry mouth, rebellious qi, hematemesis, wind-rash, and instability/shaking of the arm, elbow, and wrist. Moxibustion: 3 moxa cones; Needling depth: 0.3 cun; Retain needle for 7 breaths.
Ximen (Gate of the Xi-cleft) [2 points]: Located five cun from the wrist. It is the Xi-cleft point of the Pericardium Meridian of Hand-Jueyin. It treats heart pain, epistaxis, vomiting and hiccups, fear and dread, insufficiency of spirit and qi. Needling depth: 0.3 cun; Moxibustion: 5 moxa cones.
Jianshi (Intercalated Stream) [2 points]: Element Metal. Located three cun proximal to the wrist crease, in the depression between the two tendons. It is the Jing-River point of the Pericardium Meridian of Hand-Jueyin. It treats a sensation of hunger-like emptiness in the heart, sudden mania, palpitations, nausea, aversion to cold, vomiting, fear, insufficiency of qi, heat in the palm, axillary swelling, elbow spasm, sudden heart pain with frequent fright, aphonia, and a sensation of a foreign body in the throat. Moxibustion: 5 moxa cones; Needling depth: 0.3 cun. Qibo stated that this point can be used with moxibustion to treat "ghost evils" (psychiatric disturbances).
Neiguan (Inner Pass) [2 points]: Located two cun proximal to the wrist crease, diverging to connect with the Shaoyang (Gallbladder) meridian. It treats red eyes, fullness, elbow spasm due to wind-stroke. Excess presents as sudden severe heart pain; deficiency presents as vexation and palpitations. Needling depth: 0.5 cun; Moxibustion: 3 moxa cones.
Daling (Great Palace) [2 points]: Element Earth. Located in the depression between the two tendons at the wrist crease. It is the Shu-Stream point of the Pericardium Meridian of Hand-Jueyin. It treats febrile diseases with no sweating, arm spasm, axillary swelling, incessant laughter, hunger-like emptiness in the heart, propensity to weep and feel sad, fear and fright, red eyes, blood in urine, vomiting and rebellious qi, delirious speech, unhappiness, bi-syndrome of the throat, dry mouth, body heat, headache, shortness of breath, and chest/hypochondriac pain. Needling depth: 0.5 cun; Moxibustion: 3 moxa cones.
Laogong (Palace of Labor) [2 points]: Element Fire. Located in the artery pulsating at the center of the palm, taken by curling the ring finger. It is the Ying-Spring point of the Pericardium Meridian of Hand-Jueyin. It treats irritability due to wind-stroke, incessant weeping and laughing, hand bi-syndrome, febrile diseases after three days with no sweating, fear, chest/hypochondriac pain preventing turning to the side, blood in stool and urine, persistent epistaxis, rebellious qi, vomiting and hiccups, vexation and thirst, inability to eat or drink, foul odor in the mouth, fullness and distension in the chest and hypochondrium, jaundice, and yellow eyes. Moxibustion: 3 moxa cones.
Zhongchong (Middle Rush) [2 points]: Element Wood. Located at the tip of the middle finger, in the depression about the width of a leek leaf from the nail corner. It is the Jing-Well point of the Pericardium Meridian of Hand-Jueyin. It treats febrile diseases with vexation, stuffiness, no sweating, heat in the palm, body feeling like fire, heart pain, vexation and fullness, and stiff tongue. Needling depth: 0.1 cun.
Generally, the Pericardium Meridian of Hand-Jueyin has abundant blood but scarce qi. Needling should aim to bleed out evil qi. Since this meridian travels from the zang organs to the hands, one must carefully assess the direction of qi flow to apply following or opposing techniques. Excess is treated with draining methods, deficiency with tonifying methods, heat with rapid needling without retention, cold with prolonged retention, and sinking/depressed conditions with moxibustion. If neither excess nor deficiency is present, treat using the meridian itself. This is the method for treating Jueyin disorders.
