Yin Stepping Vessel originates from the medial side of the heel. It then runs to Rangu KID-2, anterior and inferior to the medial malleolus, in the depression on the lower border of the navicular bone.
Afterwards, it rises all the way to Quepen ST-12 in the supraclavicular fossa of the shoulder, passing the medial lower leg and thigh, genitals, abdomen as well as chest on the way.
It continues ascending to Renying ST-9 on the throat and terminates at Jingming BL-1 which is 0.1 cun superior to the inner canthus.
