Penetrating flow is the sea of the 12 meridians, Penetrating Flow in Chinese Medicine

[Guest guest]

As far as my training has taken me towards my Masters, which is 2

Trimesters so far in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, we have only

very, very briefly, touched on the Penetrating Flow.

 

One of my teachers has told us that the Penetrating Flow has a

special relationship with 2 meridians: The Liver, and the Central

meridians. The 3 when working together have a lot to do with female

reproductive health, and more especially this area's relationship

with Blood.

 

I would be very interested in hearing what you find.
