There are many potent acupoints in the body that can help to rebalance and re harmonize the flow of vital life force energy (also known as “Qi” — pronounced “Chee”). Always remember: “When Qi flows, then health glows.” One such point is Liver 4 or Lv4 point. (Also known as: “Supreme Rushing”, or “Bigger Rushing”, or “Taichong” )
This point is said to be a main source point to help correct imbalances in the Liver. This point allows us to connect with the upward-rising energy (energy of the Wood element) necessary for engaging with the world.
Overall this point is a good point for:
total body vitality eye conditions abdominal distention and pain menstrual issues urinary and genital conditions insomnia headaches arthritis hangovers alleviating congestion and pain invigorates and detoxifies allergic reactions fainting confusion fatigue nausea irritability immune function foot cramps poor memory and concentration liver conditions anger (or anger ‘turned inward’ — which often manifests as anxiety or depression)
Location of this point: This point is located on the top of the foot, in a large hollow between the 1st-2nd toes, 2 fingers above the base where the 1st-2nd toes meet. See picture above for point location.
How to stimulate this point: You can use your index finger an/or thumb to push gently into this point. Or, gently squeeze the point on each side and then lift this point upwards. Hold the pressure or gentle stretch of the point for 1-3 minutes as you breathe slowly through your nose down into your lower belly region.
To be clear: Does pushing on this point make up for a lack of ‘healthy living’? Does it erase a person’s bad habits or poor health choices. Of course not. It can’t make up for those things! However what it can do is help to rebalance the disrupted energy flow in the body that these things caused in the first place.
The whole point of using this vital acupoint is to reestablish balance, harmony, and flow in the body. It's not a substitute for healthy living, but rather a supplement for healthy living.
