Course of the triple burner meridian in detail
The triple warmer meridian begins at the nail fold angle of the ring finger on the small finger side and runs from there between the 4th and 5th metacarpal bones over the back of the hand to the wrist.
2 cun behind the wrist crease, exactly in the middle between ulna and radius, is the important acupuncture point TB 05.
The 3-fold meridian continues along the outside of the forearm to the elbow.
From this, it goes upwards via the outer head of the triceps muscle to the shoulder, where it is located in the posterior depression of the deltoid muscle. The two depressions are revealed when the upper arm is raised laterally. The 3-fold heating point is located in the rear of the two recesses.
The triple burner meridian now runs along the scapula bone to the shoulder point TB 15, which is located halfway down the spine on the trapezius muscle.
It follows this muscle upward to the prominent acupuncture point 3E 17 behind the mastoid process at the back of the head.
From 3E 17 goes around the ear to the jaw point TB 21which is located at the upper edge of the ear opening in a depression that can be felt when you open your mouth slightly.
Here it runs only upward to the outer edge of the eyebrow, where it ends with the point 3E 23.
