According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the liver in the five internal organs belongs to wood, and the human liver (wood) has the physiological characteristics of ascending, moving and containing.
Wood (liver) is responsible for hair growth and regulating qi, so "liver" plays an important role in regulating qi, regulating mood and food digestion.
A sentence often said by health teachers of traditional Chinese medicine: "If you don't raise it in spring, you will get sick easily in summer", which means that you can nurse the qi, blood, yin and yang of the liver in spring, so that the catharsis function of the liver can be nursed back to health, which can avoid the occurrence of liver qi invading the spleen and stomach. It makes people less prone to gastrointestinal diseases in summer.
Due to the accelerated pace of modern life and the increase of work pressure, many people have various psychological problems (depression and irritability), which lead to sub-health state, and these are closely related to the liver.
Drink water to nourish the liver
For friends who pay attention to health, the most common way to nourish the liver is to soak a cup of chrysanthemum tea. The liver should be windy in May and windy and dry in spring. Drinking water regularly can replenish body fluids, enhance blood circulation and promote metabolism. Drinking plenty of water is also conducive to digestion, absorption and elimination of waste, reducing the damage of metabolites and toxins to the liver.
Acupoint nourishing liver
Because the liver likes to be depressed, it should be dull, and it likes to adjust. We can imagine the liver as a big tree. If the trees grow smoothly, they will grow into big trees with sparse branches and leaves, otherwise, various problems will occur and many redundant things will grow.
Dry spring, unstable mood, easy to get angry. When people get angry, their liver will be blocked. The "liver-qi pain" that female friends often say refers to the pain in both ribs.
Severe blockage will also affect the bilateral mammary glands and thyroid glands of the neck, causing lumps in these two parts. Female friends are often angry, which will cause irregular menstruation and sleep disorders. Therefore, to nourish the liver, to be happy, to be comfortable, and not to block the heart, we must always press the acupoints.
Qimen point
Qimen point belongs to the liver meridian of Foot Jueyin, which is the point where the liver meridians converge. Because the Zhangmen point below it has no qi and blood conduction, it has been in an empty state of expecting qi and blood, so it can only wait and wait, hence the name.
Acupoint location
Qimen acupoint is located in the chest, just below the nipple and at the sixth intercostal space. Move up about 6 inches from the navel, and then move to the left and right sides to the position directly below the nipple, which is Qimen point.
efficacy
Massage at Qimen point has the functions of soothing liver, regulating qi, clearing blood heat, promoting gallbladder and regulating stomach, reducing adverse reactions and relieving pain, and is mostly suitable for symptoms of liver, gallbladder and gastrointestinal tract, such as chest pain, chest tightness, fever, vomiting, hiccup, acid swallowing, abdominal distension and diarrhea.
operational approach
Press (knead) Qimen point with your palm or thumb for a few seconds, and then gradually relax. Repeat this operation, alternately left and right, and press each acupoint for 5-7 minutes at a time.
The biggest function of Qimen point is to eliminate pain. In daily life, especially female friends, they are thoughtful, angry and always sulking. This kind of person can massage the liver meridian of the chest and abdomen every day, put his hands under his armpit, and then push it down from his armpit for 30 to 50 times each time, which has a good effect on relieving pain on both sides.
But also has good curative effect on other diseases caused by stagnation of liver qi. People who love to be angry can often massage, which is very helpful for self-cultivation.
The liver meridian has excellent ability to regulate qi activity. As long as there is movement of qi, the viscera of the whole body can not be separated from the catharsis of the liver meridian.
Only when the liver function is normal, the movement of qi in the whole body can be normal, and people will feel comfortable, eat well and be in good health. The door is used as an on-off valve to vent anger. As long as you are in a bad mood and angry, you can release your anger by pressing it!
