Heart Channel

1/30

Which tissues does the Heart Luo-Connecting channel connect to?

The nape of the neck and the lower surface of the tongue
The ear and teeth
The surface of the palm
The root of the tongue and the eye

The Heart Luo-Connecting channel separates at HT-5, connects with the SI channel, ascends the arm to enter the Heart organ, then ascends to the root of the tongue and the eye. HT-5 therefore treats aphasia, stiff tongue, stuttering, red eyes, and eye pain.
