Liver in TCM: Planning, Decisions, and IntuitionThe Liver, tied to the Wood element, governs intuition, imagination, and planning. It links the analytical mind with the spleen and earth element for balanced decision-making. Strong Liver function enables clear analysis, while blockages lead to poor choices, depression, frustration, or suppressed anger.
Suppressing Anger Harms the Liver
The Wood element type often suppresses emotions, causing physical symptoms like hypertension or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Anger imbalances can manifest as heart palpitation or syndrome from hepatic symptoms.
Liver's Role in Metabolism and Drugs
Key enzymes like CYP2D6 metabolize antidepressants and drugs in the Liver. Medications such as Lexapro (SSRI), Prozac (SSRI), and Venlafaxine (SNRI) are processed here, impacting Liver health.
Balancing Liver Qi for Harmony
Liver imbalances resemble hyperactivity; free anger flow prevents convulsions or epilepsy. Smooth Liver Qi supports environmental adaptation and responsible behavior.
ACUPUNCTURE POINTS WHICH ARE USED ARE ➖ LIVER. 1, 2, 3, 8, 14

“Feeling mentally exhausted, not sleeping well, or getting tingling in your arm?
Today, let’s learn a simple acupressure point that can help calm your Heart and mind — Heart 3, Shaohai.”Location & How To Find“Bend your elbow slightly and look at the crease on the inner side of your arm.
Heart 3 is in the inner elbow crease, towards the body, in the soft groove between the inner elbow bone and the tendon of the muscles in front of the arm.”“You can gently press around this area; you’ll feel a little hollow where the muscles relax when the elbow is bent.
That tender, soft spot is Heart 3.”What HT3 Helps With“In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Heart 3 is the He-Sea and Water point of the Heart meridian, which runs from the armpit down the inner arm to the little finger.
It is used to calm the Shen (Spirit), clear Heart ‘heat,’ and relax the muscles of the arm and chest.”“Clinically, this point is often used for:Anxiety, irritability, mental restlessness, and insomniaPain or stiffness in the elbow, forearm, and handNumbness or tingling along the inner armHeart-related symptoms like palpitations, chest tightness, or discomfort.”How To Do Acupressure“To stimulate Heart 3, use your thumb or fingertip to apply gentle but firm pressure on the point.
Massage in small circles or simply hold the pressure.”“Stay on the point for about 15–30 seconds at a time, relax your shoulders, and breathe slowly and deeply.
You can repeat this a few times on each side, especially in the evening to support relaxation and sleep.”Safety & Closing Note“Remember, acupressure on Heart 3 is a supportive self-care tool, not a replacement for medical treatment.
If you have chest pain, known heart disease, or persistent arm pain, always consult a qualified healthcare professional.”“Save this video to practice later, and share it with someone who struggles with stress, poor sleep, or arm discomfort.”

"Here’s a powerful point from the Gallbladder meridian — GB-43, Xiaxi, also called ‘Clamped Stream.’You’ll find it on the outer side of your foot—right where the skin changes color between the 4th and 5th toes, just above the web.This point is a Ying-Spring (Water) point, which means it’s especially effective for clearing heat and damp-heat from the Liver and Gallbladder.
It’s great for headaches, dizziness, tinnitus, ear or eye redness, and even swelling caused by damp stagnation.Energetically, GB-43 helps calm Liver Yang, bringing balance to excess upward heat — think restlessness, irritability, or that throbbing temple headache.For treatment, it can be:Needled about 0.3–0.5 cun deep,Or gently pressed for 30–45 seconds in acupressure practice.
Moxibustion may also be used for tonifying and clearing damp.Bonus tip:
Combine GB-43 with SJ-5 (Waiguan) to dispel wind-heat,
or with LV-2 (Xingjian) to drain Liver-Gallbladder fire.So next time you’re feeling that temple headache or eye strain — remember Xiaxi — cooling, clearing, and calming from the roots of the Liver and Gallbladder."

Kidney 3 (KI3) – Taixi: The Source of Vital EnergyOverview:
Kidney 3 (KI3), known as Taixi or “Great Stream,” is a key acupuncture point located on the inner ankle, in the depression between the medial malleolus (the inner ankle bone) and the Achilles tendon. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), it serves as a vital point for replenishing Kidney Qi — the body’s fundamental life energy that sustains vitality, balance, and longevity.How to Locate KI3:Sit comfortably and look at the inside of your ankle.Identify the prominent bone (medial malleolus).Find the Achilles tendon behind your ankle.KI3 lies in the hollow between these two structures, closer to the heel.Benefits and Therapeutic Actions:Tonifies Kidney Qi: Strengthens the body’s core energy, supporting vitality, metabolism, and aging processes.Supports Urinary and Reproductive Health: Aids in regulating fluid balance, enhances kidney function, and may improve conditions such as frequent urination or reduced libido.Calms the Mind: Helpful for insomnia, restlessness, and anxiety through nourishing the Kidney’s connection with the Heart.Relieves Pain and Discomfort: Commonly used for lower back pain, sore throat, cough, and tinnitus (ringing in the ears).How It Works (TCM Perspective):
Stimulating KI3 promotes the smooth flow of Qi and Blood along the Kidney Meridian, which runs from the foot upward through the inner leg, connecting with the kidneys, lungs, heart, and spine. As the Yuan-Source Point of the Kidney Meridian, KI3 helps access and strengthen the body’s original Qi, making it one of the most powerful points for restoring overall balance and vitality.Acupressure Technique:Use your thumb or fingertip to apply firm yet gentle pressure on KI3.Massage in slow, circular motions for 1–2 minutes while breathing deeply.A mild, dull ache or subtle energy flow sensation is common and indicates the point is being activated.Note:
Although acupressure on KI3 can offer relief and support wellness, it is a potent point that influences deep energetic systems. For persistent or complex issues, consultation with a qualified acupuncturist is strongly advised.
