Stomach Channel

1/46
Where does the Stomach channel begin?
The linkage from the previous channel is LI-20 to ST-1, but it doesn't go straight there. There is an internal pathway that goes from LI-20 to the inner canthus (UB-1), and that pathway is part of the ST channel. So we say the channel starts at LI-20, not ST-1.
