Lung Channel

1/31

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

Spreads over the lateral costal region
Connects to the tongue
Goes to the nape of the nack
Spreads over the thenar eminence

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.
