Description

Woodcut illustration, showing the path ofyinqiao mai(Yin Heel Vessel), fromJingmai tu kao(Illustrated Study of the Channels), published in 1878 (4th year of the Guangxu period of the Qing dynasty).

Yinqiao maiis one of the Eight Extraordinary Channels (qi jing ba mai). It originates at thezhaohai(Shining Sea) point, at the back of the navicular bone of the foot (rangu), traverses the inner ankle, and runs upwards along the inside of the lower limbs into the genital area. It ascends within the thoracic cavity to the supraclavicular fossa (quepen, the Broken Basin), then ascends again to emerge in front of therenying(Human Welcome) point alongside the Adam's Apple. It passes through the cheeks into the eye sockets where it joins thetaiyangchannel andYangqiao mai (Yang Heel Vessel). Pathological changes in this channel are thought to cause somnolence (shishui).
