Description |
Woodcut illustration, howing the path ofchongmai(Penetrating Vessel), fromJingmai tu kao(Illustrated Study of the Channels), published in 1878 (4th year of the Guangxu period of the Qing dynasty). Chongmaiis one of the Eight Extraordinary Channels (qi jing ba mai). This channel starts within the lower abdomen, emerging below at the perineum, and ascends within the spinal column. Its external course traverses theqijie(Path of Qi) area in the groin, where it comes into confluence with the kidney channel of footshaoyin. Thence it runs upwards along both sides of the torso to the throat, and encircles the lips. Pathological changes in this channel are thought to provoke retrograde Qi in the chest and abdomen (xiongfu qini), dyspnoea (qichuan),shanjia(thoracic/abdominal swelling/hernia), dryness-heat (zaore), atrophy-flaccidity syndrome (weizheng), etc. Wellcome Images |
