Yuan-source points: study guide for shiatsu and TCM

What yuan-source points are, how they relate to original channel qi, and how to study them in the Meridiania atlas.

Yuan-source points are studied as access to original (yuan) qi of the channel and organ. On yin they often coincide with the shu-stream; on yang they are distinct. In shiatsu they help assess channel root; in educational TCM they are often paired with the luo. Open the yuan family in the dictionary and locate them in 3D.
