Lung Channel

1/31

Which of the following best describes the pathway of the Lung Luo-Connecting channel?

Goes to the nape of the nack
Ascends to the face and cheek
Spreads over the thenar eminence
Spreads over the lateral costal region

The Lung Luo-Connecting channel starts at LU-7, connects to its yin-yang pair (the Large Intestine channel), and spreads through the thenar eminence. That is why LU-7 is indicated for thenar eminence pain.
