As we all know, Chinese medicine likes to trace the root cause of the disease, because only by healing the root cause can the body be cured once and for all.

The root of the nose, which reflects the strength of heart function;
The nasal column can see the good or bad function of the liver;
nasal allars, reflecting gastrointestinal dysfunction;
There is also the breathing of the nose, which connects the lungs to the outside world.
Nose protection is equivalent to protecting the five internal organs! By touching the nose, people can indirectly protect the five internal organs and the stomach, such as the following two tricks:
