@algancao – On the Season of Yangming

I love the smell of yangming in the morning. Weather in Santa Monica, warm, dry, breezy. Deep blue skies and a general sense of life.

Fans of Chinese medicine will recall that there aren’t really 12 acupuncture channels but six that have branches that enter the hand & foot.

The Shang Han Lun (written 200 ce) organizes diseases into six channels. shaoyang, taiyang, and yangming (little, big, and bright yang).

The other three channels according to “On Cold Diseases” (SHL) are shaoyin, taiyin, and jueyin (little, big, and terminal yin).
