The Body Map of Chinese Medicine II, The Circle of Ren and Du Mai

In his Study on the 8 Extraordinary Vessels, Li Shi Zhen called the Ren and Du Mai (Conception and Governor Vessels) ‘one in two and two in one’.
So often considered as separate, this presentation aims to restore them to their primal unity, using medical, alchemical and Daoist sources.
Each of the points of the Ren and Du Mai are studied in succession, including the point name, its functions and use in treatment and its location within the circle of the Microcosmic Orbit with its 3 Passes, 3 Dan Tian and the Upper and Lower Bridge of Birds.
