First, the liver is the general officer of the human body.
The liver can biotransform many non-nutritive substances from inside and outside the body, such as various drugs, poisons and some metabolites in the body. They are completely decomposed by metabolism or excreted in their original form. The environment in which we live is toxic almost everywhere. Chemical drugs; Pesticide residues, growth hormone and preservative additives in food; Pollution from water, air, soil, etc. Entering our bodies through various channels must be treated by the liver to detoxify, and alcohol will also be detoxified by the liver.
Nowadays, people's living environment and working habits are changing, which directly affects the normal work of the liver. Fatigue hurts the liver, and drinking makes the liver scarred.
Liver plays an important role in detoxifying, secreting bile, supplying blood to the heart, stopping diarrhea and promoting hair growth. Chinese medicine believes that the liver belongs to wood, which is the main ascending hair; The liver governs the discharge and is happy; The main muscle of the liver, in the claws; The liver began to understand the purpose; Liver stores blood, liver stores soul.
The liver is the general officer of the human body, directing the operation of qi and blood. When the burden on the liver is heavy and the liver function is damaged, the abilities of detoxification, blood storage and blood supply are reduced, and the abilities of stopping diarrhea, promoting hair growth and regulating qi are also reduced. As we all know, people lose their appetite when they are angry. This is called Muketu, which hurts the spleen and stomach, so there is something wrong with the liver, and it will also cause dysfunction of organs such as kidney, spleen and lung, which will have a chain effect.
Nowadays, most people have the same pulse, and the liver qi is not sparse. This may become a common problem in modern times. If you look at everyone's mentality, you will also find that clicking Taichong point will confirm it immediately. Liver qi is not sparse, and human qi is disordered, which leads to all kinds of strange diseases in modern people, and tumors and cancers are frequent, especially when the pressure is too great. People often get angry or often suppress their anger in their hearts, that is, liver qi stagnation, and qi stagnation is blood stasis.
There are many thyroid nodules, and iodized salt is only an external cause; Many female compatriots have irregular menstruation, shortened or extended cycles or even died prematurely; Mental diseases such as anxiety and depression are frequent; Many stomach diseases, fibroids, breast hyperplasia and nodules. , and develop into malignant; Hernia, sexual dysfunction, infertility and so on, all kinds of diseases followed. In short, there are many kinds of diseases caused by stagnation of liver-qi, qi stagnation and blood stasis, and it can be said that all kinds of strange diseases and serious diseases will also be triggered.
Therefore, the prevention and treatment of diseases must start with protecting the liver. Today, I mainly talk about moxibustion at Taichong point of liver meridian, soothing the liver and regulating qi, so as to achieve the purpose of nourishing the liver, keeping fit and eliminating diseases.
Second, the role of Taichong point
Taichong point is the starting point and losing point of liver meridian.
The original point has the significance of origin and motivation, and it is the place where the meridian qi of the liver meridian and the essence qi of the liver converge deepest. When the viscera is sick, it will be reflected to the original point accordingly, that is to say, Taichong can be used to diagnose liver problems. People who feel pain when pressing Taichong point must be angry, stressed and have liver problems. Stimulating the original point can make the triple energizer accessible, so Taichong has the function of regulating the syndrome of liver meridian deficiency, thus playing its role in maintaining healthy qi and resisting evil spirits. If there is a disease in the five internal organs, it is necessary to take the original. Therefore, the liver problem, from the treatment of excessive shock, its effect is very obvious.
Losing points means using losing points when symptoms appear. What do you mean? When the liver meridian is ugly, it is seasonal, and when it is ugly, the qi and blood of the liver meridian run most vigorously. If you are ugly, you wake up every day. If you are ugly, you can fall asleep, indicating that there is something wrong with your liver. For example, you are ugly every day or often, and your stomach hurts, but it doesn't hurt after being ugly. This is also a problem of the liver and meridians. The same problem happens every day or often when you are ugly, and you can also be treated at the point of losing, that is, from Taichong to Shangzhi.
The ancestors summed up an acupuncture song, "Acupuncture must be Zusanli and moxibustion must be Guanyuan", which means that acupuncture will definitely use Zusanli and Guanyuan to treat diseases, so that the disease can be cured quickly. However, the treatment of modern people is mostly ineffective or slow, which is indeed caused by the fact that modern people are not sparse in liver qi and the liver is overburdened. So I think this prescription is more suitable for modern people to treat diseases.
So what are the specific functions of Taichong point? What diseases can be treated specifically?
1, it's wonderful to regulate great anger. The emotion of the liver is anger. If the liver qi is insufficient, people will show the characteristics of irritability emotionally. For frequent symptoms such as anger and anger, acupuncture and massage at Taichong point can alleviate people's emotions. After a great anger, people will feel chest tightness and have no appetite. After moxibustion or massage, symptoms can be relieved immediately. Similarly, people will not get angry easily if they can often moxibustion or massage too hard.
2, relieving stress has a magical effect. In the face of various pressures, acupuncture and massage at Taichong point can immediately calm people's emotions and relieve mental stress. Friends with high work pressure should massage or moxibustion more every night, so that today's stress can be relieved and not accumulated, which is very beneficial to the body.
3. Taichong has the function of regulating qi and blood, calming the liver and calming the wind.

8, the needle must be Zusanli, moxibustion must be too blunt, prevention and treatment of various diseases, too blunt, great benefits.
Third, moxibustion is too dull.
Taichong point is located on the dorsal side of the foot, at the metatarsal joints of the first and second toes. The finger moves upward along the gap between the big toe and the second toe until the arterial reflex can be felt to the hand (in the depression between 1 and 2 metatarsal joints).
