The small intestine meridian is a YANG meridian. The small intestine meridian begins on the little finger at the outer angle of the nail fold and runs from there along the edge of the hand to the point SI 3, an important key point (MO point) for the Governor vessel (GV). In this respect, it also has an important significance in relation to the extraordinary meridians.
Over the outside of the forearm, the elbow, it then moves over the triceps brachii muscle to the armpit and from there on over the shoulder blade and the spinous process of the 7th cervical vertebra to the sternocleidomastoid muscle and then over the angle of the jaw to its endpoint in front of the ear (SI 19).
With its internal course, it connects the organs: small intestine, stomach, spleen/pancreas and the heart.
The small intestine meridian belongs to the element of fire and has the heart meridian as a YIN partner. In Chinese medicine, it is described as follows: “The small intestine is responsible for receiving fullness (abundance) and transforming all things. It separates the clear from the cloudy and is the palace of the heart.”
Indications
- Digestive problems
- Abdominal complaints without objectifiable findings
- Diseases in the course of the meridian
- Facial neuralgia (SI 3, 18)
- Pain in the dorsal shoulder, elbow and wrist area (especially SI 9, 10, 11, 13)
- Tendinomuscular complaints
- Neck pain, stiffness of the neck
- Neuralgia, paraesthesia (SI 3)
- Promotion of milk flow after birth (SI 1)
- “Calming of the mind” (SI 7 and SI 8)
- Tinnitus and deafness (SI 19 “Palace of Hearing”)
It is also with teeth 1.8., 2.8., 3.8. and 4.8. connected. The retromolar area (1.9., 2.9., 3.9., 4.9.) is also assigned to the small intestine meridian or the element of fire.
Programs supporting the energetic function of this meridian
- Small intestine meridian acute 290.1
- Small intestine meridian chronic 291.1
- Small intestine meridian (1st recommendation) 3290.0
- Small intestine meridian (2nd recommendation) 3291.0
The patient’s own information is used in the input area of the BICOM device. You can do a meridian flooding with these meridian programs with the meridian start and end points. To do this, please look for the beginning (SI 1) and end points (SI 19) of the small intestine meridian on both sides of the body. You can find a description of these points in your program manual or an acupuncture atlas. Use one of the meridian programs after energetic testing.
- Input cup: sputum or blood
- Input applicators: one button applicator or adhesive applicators on SI 19 bds.
- Output applicators: one gold finger each or adhesive applicators on SI 1 bds.
If stagnation has formed in the meridian
- 1) Release blockage (deep-lying) program 3017.0, alternatively program 918.0.
- 2) Program selection from small intestine meridian programs (see above). First of all, the structure and applicator system are identical to those of the flooding above, but then:
- 3) Replace input and output. This means input applicators on the starting point (SI 1) and output applicators on the end point (SI 19).
In this case, the actual meridian program runs through twice.
In addition, the ampoule “Small Intestine Meridian” from the “5 functional circuits (Elements) Test kit” can also be used in the second channel for both therapies.
The indications for the use of the small intestine meridian described above can of course also be supplemented by corresponding indication-related programs from the program manual.
