THOROUGHFARE VESSEL
The Thoroughfare
Vessel (chong mai)
originates in the pelvic
cavity and runs alongside
the kidney meridian up to
the thorax. It is regarded
as the “sea of blood,"
which is the place for the
twelve regular meridians
to converge and where it
helps regulate the qi and
blood inside them.
