The Kidney Meridian of Foot Shaoyin

The Kidney Meridian of Foot Shaoyin originates from the inferior aspect of the small toe and runs obliquely toward the sole. Emerging from the lower aspect of the tuberosity of the navicular bone and running behind the medial malleolus, it enters the hell. Then it ascends along the medial aspect of the leg to 

The medial aspect of the popliteal fossa and goes further upward along the posteromedial aspect of the thigh toward the vertebral column, where it enters the kidney, its pertaining organ, and connects with the bladder. The straight portion of the meridian re-emerges from the kidney. Ascending and passing through the liver and diaphragm, it enters the lung, runs along the throat, and terminates at the root of the tongue. A branch springs from the lung.
