ABSTRACT

The pathway of the spleen channel starts from the tip of the big toe at SP-1 (yin bai).

● It then runs along the medial side of the foot at the juncture of the red and white skin, ascends in front of the medial malleolus at SP-5 (shang qiu) to the medial head of the gastrocnemius muscle, runs up along the posterior aspect of the tibia, and crosses in front of the liver channel at a point 8 cun above the medial malleolus.
