CORE DEFINITION

The Ren, Du, and Chong meridians, three extraordinary vessels, all originate from the uterus (womb/dantian), emerge together at the perineum, and then diverge.

SCAFFOLDING EFFECT

psychology

Reduce cognitive load

Tree root model. Although Ren, Du, and Chong appear to have different functions, they are connected underneath. When practicing, focusing on the dantian can activate these three major meridians simultaneously. For treating gynecological diseases, these three meridians are considered as one entity.

In Chinese medicine, the Chong, Ren, and Du meridians all originate from the same source in the uterus (lower abdomen). One source gives rise to three branches, indicating that a common source system can evolve into multiple pathways.
