Heart Meridian, A Glossary of Traditional Chinese Medicine
Also known as the Arm Shao Yin Heart Meridian and is one of the twelve major meridians of the body. The Heart Meridian actually starts from the heart and then splits of into three branches. The first goes down to the small intestine. The second one travels up along the throat to the eyes. And the third goes under the arm and runs along the inner side of the forearm, elbow and upper arm, crossing to the inner side of the wrist and palm. It ends at the inside tip of the little finger where it connects with the Small Intestine Meridian. The acupoints in this meridian are used for heart, chest and nervous system disorders.
