The basic pathology of insomnia should be attributed to the growth of yang and yin decay of the liver, and the incompatibility of yin and yang.
"Internal Medicine of Traditional Chinese Medicine" divides it into five syndrome types: liver depression and fire, phlegm and heat internal disturbance, yin deficiency and fire, heart and spleen deficiency, and heart and gallbladder qi deficiency. Therefore, it is very important to regulate the liver, especially after the beginning of spring, yin and yang alternate, and pay more attention to the protection of the liver.
There are two switches on our feet, one to nourish liver qi and one to clear liver fire, which is very easy to use!
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, no matter which organs of the body are maintained, it is different from person to person, and we should formulate a health plan according to each person's physique and physical condition. For example, if you have a yin deficiency physique, you need to nourish yin and latent yang when you nourish your liver, so that the yang energy of the upper hyperactivity can be lowered; If it is a yang physique, it is necessary to soothe the liver and relieve depression, clear heat and reduce fire.

Here are two commonly used liver massage acupoints, which you can choose in a targeted manner, and of course, you can also use them together.
1. Nourish liver qi - Taichong acupoint
The location of the Taichong acupoint is easier to find, it is on the instep, in the depression before the junction of the first and second metatarsals, and the gap between the big toe is about 4 cm above the instep. It can be called the first major acupoint of the human body, people often compare it to the human body's punching bag, because it is the original acupoint and acupoint of the liver meridian, which is equivalent to the storage of the liver meridian vitality, so massage Taichong acupoint, can well mobilize the vitality of the liver meridian, so that the liver is more energetic.
At the same time, the Taichong acupoint is also the fire acupoint of the liver meridian, which can dissipate the liver qi and liver fire. Therefore, it is especially suitable for those women who love to sulk, force their faces to laugh all day long, and their hearts are depressed, as well as those who are often depressed, anxious, and sorrowful.
As the first important acupoint in the human body, the function of Taichong acupoint is not only this, it has a lot of protective effects on our body. Like what
When you're dizzy, rubbing too much can make you feel refreshed;
When you are angry, rubbing Taichong can help you calm down;
When you are upset, Tai Chong can help you calm your mind;
When you have qi weakness, Taichong helps you replenish qi and blood.
Therefore, everyone must pay attention to this acupuncture point, and you can rub it more if you have anything to do.
So how do we press the punch?
On the instep of your foot, you find the place where the big toe and the second toe are combined, and then push it in the direction of the ankle, and push it to the end of the connection between the two bones is the Taichong acupoint. Carefully find the most painful point, then grasp the strength, and rub it for 3 to 5 minutes.
By kneading the "Taichong acupoint", the stagnant qi of the human body can be flushed out to the greatest extent. If you want to drain the liver fire, you can start from the "Taichong acupoint" and push it in the direction of the "Xingjian acupoint", which will help clear the liver fire.
2. Clear the liver and fire - the acupoints between the rows
Let's take a look at the second acupuncture point, "Xingjian Acupoint". The "inter-row acupoint" is also in the depression at the end of the gap between the big toe and the second toe, about 2 inches away from Taichong. It is said in the "Analogous Classics: Tuyi" that "the fire between the purging lines is self-purifying, and the wood qi is from the bottom", this is a fire point, if your liver fire is too strong, you can press and rub this acupoint. It is best at venting the fire of the head and face, such as red and swollen eyes, hot nosebleeds, swollen eyes and other symptoms, and the effect of pinching and kneading between the lines will be very good.
In addition, since the liver meridian comes up from the root of the thigh and goes around the genitals, whenever the genitals are in trouble, you can ask for help from the liver meridian.
If women have discomfort in the lower abdomen, or irregular menstruation, abnormal vaginal discharge, long bags near the genitals, etc., all liver-related symptoms can be rubbed Taichong and between the lines, and the effect of these two acupuncture points will be quite good.
