On my way! Of the best points for emotional regulation!
For acupressure, I will pair it with Kidney 1 for migraines, irritability, emotional dysregulation (littles or adults!), pre moontime pain or mood swings and so much more!
When you are at home, you can practice a simple self-care technique by massaging the acupressure point known as Taichong (Liver 3), one of the most important points on the liver meridian in traditional Chinese medicine. This point is widely used to help promote the smooth flow of liver energy (Qi) throughout the body and to relieve feelings of tension or stagnation. When you press on the correct spot, you may notice tenderness or a dull, sore sensation—this is normal and often a sign that you have found the right location.
Taichong (LV3) is located on the top of the foot, in the soft space between the big toe and the second toe, just behind where the two toe bones meet. To stimulate this point, sit comfortably and use your thumb to apply firm but tolerable pressure. Gently press and massage the area in small circular motions for about 1–2 minutes, then repeat on the other foot. You can practice this daily, preferably when you are relaxed, such as in the evening.
In addition to circular massage, you may also use your thumb to gently rub forward along the inner side of the big toe, following the pathway of the liver meridian. Regular stimulation of Taichong can help encourage balance, relaxation, and the unblocking of liver energy over time, making it an easy and accessible technique to include in your daily wellness routine.
