Deadman 1. The Du Mai originates in the uterus/lower abdomen, descends as a deep pathway to the genitals and perineum to meet CV 1, then goes to the tip of the coccyx. 2. The Du Mai surfaces at the tip of the coccyx (GV 1) and travels up the spine and over the head to GV 28 on the upper gum. 3. At GV 16, (the nape of the neck) a branch enters the brain, then emerges at the vertex (GV 20) to rejoin the main pathway. 4. From GV 12, deep bilateral branches go to BL 12 and then rejoin at GV 13.

Some texts attribute other pathways to the Du Mai: 1. A branch from the coccyx to the gluteal region, meeting the Bladder and Kidney meridians before returning to the spine and the kidneys. (D: originates in the lower abdomen, descends to the genitals and perineum, winds around the anus, ascends the interior of the spinal column, and enters the kidneys) 2. Two bilateral branches form the medial canthus of the eye (BL 1), ascending the forehead to meet at the vertex, then descending through the brain and the neck to run parallel with the spine down to the kidneys.

Du Mo

3. A branch from the lower abdomen ascending through the umbilicus, heart and trachea, then crossing the cheek, encircling the mouth, and ending just inferior to the center of the eye.

DEADMAN 1. The channel starts at a deep level in the uterus in women ad in the lower abdomen (CV 3) in men. 2. It emerges in the center of the perineum at CV 1 and travels superficially up the anterior median line of the torso to CV 24 in the middle of the chin, where bilateral deep branches travel around the angle of the mouth to the gums under the upper lip (GV 28). 3. It then ascends the cheeks to the optic foramen where they meet ST 1. 4. A second branch is said to originate in the pelvic cavity, enter the spine, and ascend the back.
