Course of the heart meridian in detail
The heart meridian begins in the armpit with the acupuncture point He 01 and runs from there on the inside of the upper arm to the inner elbow.
There is the acupuncture point Ht 03 at the end of the fold, which is formed when bending the elbow.
From the acupuncture point of joy, as Ht 03 is also called, the meridian on the small-fingered forearm runs toward the wrist.
Here below the pea leg is the point Ht 07 in a clearly palpable depression.
Now the meridian moves over the ball of the little finger in the direction of the palm. It seeks its way to the little finger, where it ends on the inside, with the acupuncture point He 09, at the nail fold angle on the thumb side.
