Point familiesBrowseStart quiz

Yuan-source points are studied as access to the original qi of the channel and associated organ. In shiatsu and educational TCM they often help assess and work the channel root, frequently paired with the luo of the yin–yang couple. In Meridiania each yuan has a sheet, meridian and 3D atlas position.
