Study map
Headache
In traditional TCM and shiatsu study, head themes help memorise channels (Gallbladder, Bladder, Liver) and landmarks (LI4, LR3, GB20, GV20). This page is an educational map: theme → meridians → points → 3D zone. Not a clinical guide or treatment protocol. Start with one point, locate with presence, then add the meridian.
