The liver is the largest detoxification organ in the human body, when the detoxification function of the liver is weakened, the toxins of the human body will accumulate more and more, resulting in spots, acne, hair loss, excessive oil, insomnia, breast tumors and other problems, because one of the main functions of the liver is the main drain of the liver, which means dredging and divergence, it can ensure that the qi and blood of the whole body run smoothly, without stasis or stagnation, and the qi is smooth and the mood is smooth. It's important to take care of your liver. To maintain your liver, it is a practical way to start by exercising the liver meridian.
Let me introduce a few ways to exercise the liver meridian, you choose one or two of them, and insist on practicing every day, you will definitely get unexpected results.
1. Practice "transverse stretching"
There are two postures of "horizontal stretching": (1) the person lies flat on the bed or on the ground, and the legs are stretched horizontally to both sides for 10 minutes, which requires the help of others to pull the legs. (2) Lie on your back on the bed with your feet facing up, your buttocks and both legs against the wall, and your feet as far apart as possible, just like the letter V.
I have been practicing (2) pose for almost a month, at the beginning the angle between the legs can not be very large, the inner legs will be very sore, very nervous, and I will feel the pulse on the soles of the feet beating, I can only hold on for 5 minutes, now my legs are more angled, and I can last more than 15 minutes, three times a day in the morning, noon and evening.
Through a period of slapping and stretching, I have two major gains, one is that the legs and feet that were cold all the year round are hot, last year was the summer of wearing woolen pants, and the legs and feet were cold, and now I only wear a pair of jeans, but the legs and feet are hot. The second is that sleep has been greatly improved, originally lying in bed often can not fall asleep immediately, after getting up at night is also tossed and turned back and forth difficult to fall asleep, now the head will fall asleep next to the pillow.
2. Practice "Lotus Retreat"
Sit down on a stiffer bed or just a blanket on the floor, with your right leg straight, your left leg bent and flat on the ground, and the center of your left foot on the inside of your right thigh. Then twist the body in the direction of the bent left leg, the right hand to grasp the tip of the right foot, and the left arm in the direction of the sky, trying to keep the body in a plane.
When you first start practicing, it's hard to fully unfold, so you lean against the wall with your back, legs, and arms against the wall, so you quickly find the feeling of flat side spread. After 1 minute, you will feel a warm current flowing through your ribs, and it really seems as if the sun is shining in. Regardless of men, women and children, practicing the "Lotus Leisurely Pose" for a few minutes every day can enhance the ability of the liver meridian to relieve depression.
3. Push the liver meridian
Sit on the bed, stretch your right leg forward, bend your left leg flat, fold your hands, press on the root of your thigh, push forward slightly hard along the position of the liver meridian on the inner thigh to the knee joint, push it repeatedly, forty or fifty times, and then change the other leg to the same technique. You can apply some moisturizer on the skin through clothing, and the effect is better. Push it every night to soothe the liver and regulate qi, invigorate blood and eliminate blood stasis, remove liver fire, maintain gynecology, and improve facial complexion.
There are three meridians on the inside of the thigh, the liver meridian in the middle, the spleen meridian near the front, and the kidney meridian near the back. After you sit down, bend your knees, the inner thighs are facing up, the middle is the liver meridian, and pushing the middle is to push the liver meridian, of course, push a little off, push to the spleen meridian or kidney meridian, it doesn't matter.
4. Practice "Butterfly Pose"
Sit down and use a blanket folded into two palms under your buttocks. Then bend your knees so that the soles of your feet are facing each other, the soles of your feet are together, and your heels are as close to your lower body as possible. Grab your toes with both hands, open your knees to the sides, and stick them to the ground as much as possible, this is the "butterfly pose". Do this with your back straight and your knees vibrating rhythmically toward the floor on either side.
The amount of exercise in this movement is not large, but it is just right to move to the most difficult part to exercise - the hips. People nowadays sit most of the time, and impurities from the qi and blood are slowly deposited into the pelvis. The pelvis, which protects the reproductive and urinary systems, becomes a container for garbage and waste, just like a sanitary corner that we can't usually clean. Over time, the meridians are blocked, the qi and blood are not running, and bacteria will grow here, which will lead to inflammation. There is everything on the inside and everything on the outside, and these bacteria manifest themselves on the face as spots, acne, and red bumps.
Through the frequent movement of the legs, the "butterfly pose" can open up the meridians on the legs, so that the qi and blood can be cleaned up like a "broom" to clean the sanitary dead corners of the body. It rejuvenates the internal organs by being fed with blood. This vitality is manifested on the face, which is ruddy, white, spotless, acne-free, and delicate.
Regular practice of this pose can also regulate urinary function and relieve sciatica, which is very suitable for friends who often sit in the office. In addition, this asana has a good maintenance effect on the prostate of men. Pregnant women often do this, and labor will go more smoothly. The key is that you practice the right asanas, and the right method will have a good effect.
5. Practice "one and one leg press"
This exercise can be done while sitting on the carpet while watching TV, of course, you can also do it while sitting on the bed, first stretch your legs together, hook your toes, grasp your toes with both hands, and slowly press down on your body; Then open your legs and press them down.
When you first practice, don't always think that your body can be pressed down quickly, and pursue the feeling of your body close to your legs, which uses brute force. Whether it can be pressed down is not the main thing, the key is the process, as long as the big tendons behind the legs have a stretching feeling. This feeling should not be too strong, otherwise it is easy to strain the ligaments, and the meridians do not like it. Your feeling is the feeling of the meridians, and if you feel comfortable, it will feel comfortable. Stretch comfortably so that it will have a tonic effect.
With your legs together, your whole body is relaxed. The two legs are divided, which greatly nourishes the liver and kidneys, and there is no suspicion of ginseng and deer antler velvet, and there is no toxic side effects. It doesn't take up too much of your time, doesn't cost a penny, and can directly exercise the liver and kidney meridians, so that you can make up for it thoroughly and healthily. Keep practicing, and I believe that those precious supplements in your home will be shelved.
6. Practice "Returning Yang Lying" and "Mixed Yuan Lying"
Lying on the back: the body is naturally flat, the hip joints are relaxed, the legs are like rings, the palms of the feet are facing each other, the heels are preferably facing the perineum (if you can push against the perineum, it is best), the palms of the two hands are placed near the root of the thighs, and the palms are facing the abdomen. Due to the large implantation area and less compressive force, the body is easier to relax, and the relaxation of the body and a certain posture can quickly fill up the yang energy and kidney energy. Kidney Yang Qi is equivalent to the true fire of the Destiny Gate - the key to the size of a vitality is to see whether the Yang Qi of the Destiny Gate is sufficient. Putting on this posture is to be more conducive to the sufficiency of kidney yang qi. The effect of this type of kidney tonic is obvious.
Mixed Bedroom:The practice of returning yang to lie down and then raise the level is to lie on your back, with the hearts of your feet facing each other, your legs like rings, and your hands overlapping or crossing gently on your head, with your palms facing the lilies above your head. This posture can not only replenish kidney qi but also relax the head, and has a good therapeutic effect on insomnia and neurasthenia. The upper two arms form a circle, which can make the kidney qi not go up to the genitals, but to the depths of the middle navel; The lower legs are enclosed in a circle, which is conducive to the circulation of qi and blood along the legs to the body.
These two postures will tighten the liver meridian and play the role of exercising the liver meridian.
