Yang divergent channels usually separate from their primary channel where? |
on the limbs- Bladder- at popliteal fossa ST and GB- on the thigh SI at shoulder LI on hand |
|
|
What do divergent channels usually enter |
their respected zang or fu, and paired internally-externally related organ ex: Bladder divergent enters Bladder fu then to Kidney zang |
|
|
Where do most yang divergent channels resurface? |
at the supraclavicular fossa, neck or face, and join their primary yang channel again |
|
|
What 4 things do the yin divergent channels do? |
1. separate from primary on limb 2. sometimes enter pertaining zang- KD, HT, LU 3. converge with internal/external related divergent channel 4. Join the primary yang channel itself |
|
|
What do the divergent channels strengthen? |
the yin yang relationship between internally/externally paired channels and zangfu |
|
|
Where do all of the yang and the HT and LV divergent channels distribute qi and blood? |
Head and Face |
|
|
How do the divergent channels affect the parts of body not supplied by primary channels? |
integrate them- ex: primary KD connects w/ HT, but primary HT does NOT connect with KD- BUT, divergent channel of UB travels from KD to HT, making the connection ex: LV and GB primaries don't go to HT, but GB divergent to HT explains close relationship between HT/LV/GB |
|
|
How do the divergent channels help explain the clinical action of some commonly used acupoints? |
-ex: BL divergent circulates through rectal area- explaining action of UB57, 58 on treatment of rectal problems -ST divergent enters HT, helping to explain the use of many ST points in treatment of spirit -BL divergent links with HT, helping explain effect of BL channel in tx of spirit disharmonies- ex- BL62 for epilepsy, palp, insomnia, mania/depression |
