Detoxification of the liver is mainly achieved by soothing the liver and regulating qi. When the liver functions normally, the body's energy can flow smoothly. If there are symptoms of low mood, anxiety, and easy anger, we can massage Qimen acupoint and Taichong acupoint.

Qimen acupoint is the gathering point of the liver, and Taichong acupoint is the original acupoint of the liver meridian. The combination of the two can nourish, regulate, and soften the liver.

Qimen acupoint is located below the nipple, in the sixth intercostal space. Place your palm on the Qimen acupoint and rub it back and forth along the intercostal space for 3-5 minutes.

Taichong acupoint is located between the first and second metatarsal bones on the dorsal surface of the foot. Use your thumb to push and press along the first and second metatarsal bones until it can't move anymore. The concave area is the Taichong acupoint. Use your thumb to knead it for 3-5 minutes.
