The Triple Warmer (San Jiao) meridian in AK is primarily tested through which muscles?

Accepted Answer

Sartorius, gracilis, and teres minor

Sartorius, gracilis, and teres minor are the three AK indicator muscles for the Triple Warmer meridian, reflecting its relationship to adaptive/immune function.

Question 2

In AK, if the Lung meridian indicator muscle tests weak, which organ meridian should also be evaluated due to Yin-Yang pairing?

Accepted Answer

Large Intestine
