Lung 5 location

[Guest guest]

•Located on the cubital crease of the elbow EXACTLY in a hollow in a

depression BETWEEN the lateral/ulnar edge of the brachioradialis muscle and

the medial/radial edge of the brachialis muscle; (another way of sying

this is that it is located on the radial side of the bicipital aponeuroses

approximately 1 cun medial and radial to the biceps brachii muscle/tendon

where the lateral cutaneous nerve of the forearm is located and approximately

at the same location as a small branch of the brachial artery called the

radial recurrent artery.)

•More simply described, L-5 is located on the cubital crease of the elbow

in a depression approximately 1 cun medial/radial to the biceps brachii

tendon.

•NOT LOCATED AT the biceps brachii tendon.

•NOT LOCATED JUST medial to the biceps brachii tendon.

•Palpate TCM medially about 1 cun to the biceps brachii tendon and you

will feel the point location of L-5 very clearly. The TCM medial edge of the

brachioradialis IS in fact the Lung Channel and the TCM lateral edge of

the same muscle IS the Large Intestine Channel.
