I have been asked by many of you to create a video on the 8 extraordinary vessels and how we can use them in clinical practice. Admittedly, in my TCM schooling days, we barely brushed over them. Apart from learning the REN & DU points, I had no idea how to utilize them to treat patients.

Over the past 20 years, I’ve followed the teaching of Yvonne Farrell & Jeffrey Yuan, which allowed me to better understand the 8 Extra meridians better.

What are the 8 Extraordinary vessels?

The 8 Extraordinary vessels are the REN, DU, CHONG, DAI, YIN WEI & YANG WEI, YIN QIOAO & YANG QIAO.

  • The 8 Extra Vessels run deep within our bodies, and supply the 12 main meridians with Essence. They support our genetic heritage (the root of who we are).
  • They all connect to the TCM Kidneys through Essence (Jing).
  • They each have a confluent point which connects to a main meridian.
  • The REN & the DU vessels are the only ones that have their own points. The other 6 vessels share points with the main 12 meridians.
  • Using the 8 EO Vessels in clinical practice is very helpful in tapping into our genetics and reproductive system. At the core, they access our emotional being as well (from past generations to now).
