This is not my area of expertise by any means, but aren't eyebrows on the sanjiao (triple heater) meridian? there's an interesting thing--there are 6 sets of meridians, but only 5 elements. How does Sanjiao/Pericardium fit in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few meridians that cross the eyebrows, so I wouldn't completely limit the eyebrows to the SJ. > there's an interesting thing--there are 6 sets of meridians, but > only 5 elements. How does Sanjiao/Pericardium fit in? The element they're related to is the Fire element, though from the meridian perspective they're Shao Yang and Jue Yin and have a relationship with the wood element's Liver and Gall Bladder. Nothing is set in stone in this TCM thing. It would be nice if it was, it would be easier for students, wouldn't it? -- Al Stone L.Ac. <AlStone http://www.BeyondWellBeing.com Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.
