The Leg Shao Yang Gall Bladder Meridian starts out from the outer corner of the eye. Afterwards it splits into two paths – one runs at the exterior, weaving back and forth at the back of the head and then curves by the ear to trail down the top of the shoulder, the lateral side of the rib cage and abdomen and ends at the side of the hip. Another path goes into the cheek and trails down internally – down to the neck, chest, gall bladder – and then comes out to the lower abdomen to connect with the other trail at the hip before it snakes down to the lateral side of the thigh, the lower leg, crossing over the ankle and lands on the tip of the fourth toe. This meridian is used in acupuncture for conditions of the eyes, ear, throat, as well as mental illnesses.
