The Liver channel describes where your Liver acupuncture meridian runs. Many parts of its pathway are reached via Liver acupuncture points, but in other places the channel runs deep inside your body and is affected by points on other channels.
At least two of the most used and important points in regular use lie on it, but the Liver being so important for health in Chinese medicine, a case could be made for other Liver points too.
If you are more interested in how in Chinese medicine the Liver functions click on Liver syndromes.
The pathway shown by acupuncture points in green in the picture on the right is only half the picture. Like all acupuncture channels, the Liver channel also has internal branches.
The Primary channel of the Liver is bilateral and
The Liver luo-connecting channel commences from Liver 5 on the lower leg, connects to the Gallbladder channel and ascends to the genitals.
The Liver Divergent channel starts from the area of Liver 1 on the big toe and ascends to the pubic area, there converging with the Gall Bladder primary channel.
From this you can see that the Liver channel has connections with various organs, including the gallbladder, liver, lungs and stomach, and directly connects with the low abdomen, costal and hypochondriac region, vertex, eyes, cheeks, back of the throat, inside lips of the mouth, and genitals.
Any of these organs or areas of the body may be affected when Liver qi or Liver Blood is out of balance.

Yuck! Phlegm! How to Clear Your Phlegm ...
Western Astrology and Chinese Medicine
Published 1986 and, amazingly, still selling. Western Astrology and Chinese Medicine was apparently used back then by at least one acupuncture college to help students understand Chinese medicine! See Reviews.
Seven Reviews so far for Yuck Phlegm. (Despite the lurid cover, it explains the five main types of phlegm and what works best for each type. I hope it's easy to read and will be much more useful than all the websites on the subject.)
3000 years of Chinese being stressed, and at last, here's a book showing how all that experience can help you!
By the author of this website, it explains in simple English how to use stress to improve and enhance your life.
