In the wisdom of Chinese medicine, acupuncture points are the mysteries of the body and the channels of energy. Today, we will reveal to you the four important acupuncture points that are good for the liver: Zusanli acupoint, Xingjian acupoint, Hegu acupoint, and Taichong acupoint. These acupuncture points are like the guardians of the liver, helping you to protect the source of health.
1. Zusanli acupoint: regulates qi and blood and relieves liver pressure.
Location: Located three inches below the knee, it is an important acupuncture point of the Zuyang Ming stomach meridian. The liver is closely related to the stomach, and regulating the stomach meridian can reduce the burden on the liver. Regular massage of Zusanli acupoint can regulate qi and blood, relieve liver pressure, and have a good effect on relieving fatigue and protecting the liver.
2. Acupoints between the lines: soothe the liver and relieve depression, and reconcile emotions.
Location: Located on the dorsal side of the foot, in the gap between the first and second toes. It is an important acupuncture point on the liver meridian, which has the effect of soothing the liver and relieving depression and harmonizing emotions. When you're feeling depressed or depressed, you can massage the acupoints between the lines to help reconcile your mood and restore your mood.
3. Hegu acupoint: promote the circulation of qi and blood, and help liver detoxification
Location: Located at the tiger's mouth on the back of the hand, it is the original acupoint of the large intestine meridian. Although the Hegu acupoint belongs to the large intestine meridian, it is also closely related to the liver. Massaging the Hegu acupoint helps to promote the circulation of qi and blood and accelerate the detoxification of the liver. Regular massage of the Hegu acupoint is beneficial to liver health.
4. Taichong acupoint: calm the liver fire and relieve bad mood
Location: Located dorsal to the foot, posterior to the first metatarsal space. It is the original acupoint of the liver meridian, which has the effect of calming the liver fire and relieving bad mood. When you feel irritable and emotional, massaging the Taichong acupoints can help you calm your mood and alleviate the negative effects of bad emotions on your liver.
In our daily lives, we can stimulate these acupuncture points with a simple massage. Each acupressure point is massaged for 5-10 minutes each time, 1-2 times a day. At the same time, maintaining a good work and rest Xi, a reasonable diet and moderate exercise are also important for liver health.
