Dry eyes – rub the big toe
It can be seen that the liver is very closely related to the eyes (eyes), so whether the function of the liver is normal or not, that is, it is reflected from the eyes. In layman's terms, if the liver is not good, then the eyes are not nourished, so there is a problem with the eyes, and it is necessary to treat it from the liver meridian.
The liver meridian originates from the Dadun acupoint of the big toe, which has the functions of regulating the liver and regulating qi, clearing heat and dampness, regulating blood and regulating menstruation. Therefore, if we feel that our eyes are dry and our vision is not clear, we can stimulate the big toe to activate the liver's excretion and blood storage function, strengthen the qi and blood of the liver meridian, and nourish the eyes. As the saying goes, "the liver can be seen by blood, and the foot can be seen by blood." "In the long run, rubbing the big toe can regulate the qi of the whole body, promote the flow of blood and fluid, regulate the blood volume of the whole body, maintain the blood supply to the eyes, nourish the eyes, protect the eyes, and fundamentally alleviate the symptoms of dry eyes.
