In spring, the liver qi is strong. If we don't pay attention to soothing the liver and regulating qi, it is easy to cause liver qi stagnation. In addition to diet and liver protection, it is necessary to learn how to use traditional Chinese massage to nourish the liver.
1. Taichong acupoint
Taichong acupoint is located 4 centimeters above the gap between the big toe and the foot dorsum, and is considered the first major acupoint of the human body.
Some people compare "Taichong acupoint" to the exhaust pipe of the human body because it is the original and acupoint of the liver meridian, and it is also the fire acupoint of the liver meridian, which can disperse liver qi and liver fire.
Therefore, by massaging the "Taichong acupoint", the stagnant qi in the body can be maximally eliminated.
2. Xingjian acupoint
"Xingjian acupoint" is located between the gaps of the big toe and the second toe. It is a fire acupoint. The liver belongs to wood, and wood generates fire. If you have excessive liver fire, you can discharge the heart fire through this acupoint.
"Xingjian acupoint" is an acupoint that can discharge heart fire. In spring, excessive liver fire can cause toothache, swollen cheeks, oral ulcers, nosebleeds, and blisters on the tip of the tongue.
