The meridian of Foot-Taiyang (Bladder Meridian) originates at the inner canthus of the eye, ascends to the forehead, and intersects at the vertex. When Qi and Blood are abundant, eyebrows are beautiful with fine hairs; when Qi and Blood are deficient, eyebrows become coarse and ugly. Furthermore, eyebrows are susceptible to injury by Wind pathogenic factors, leading to eyebrow loss. All these conditions result from damage to Qi and Blood, which fails to nourish the eyebrows.
