A Chinese friend taught me this technique years ago, and I’ve felt so much better since!
Reflexology, an ancient practice rooted in traditional Chinese medicine, suggests that applying pressure to specific points on the feet can have profound effects on various parts of the body. One particular point of interest in reflexology is the Liver 3 (LV 3) point, located on the foot.
Massaging or pressing this point daily can potentially bring about a range of health benefits, from improved digestion to reduced stress. In this article, we will explore what happens when you regularly stimulate the LV 3 point on your foot and the possible health benefits you could experience.
Understanding the LV 3 Point
The LV 3 point, also known as Tai Chong, is one of the most important acupuncture points on the Liver meridian in traditional Chinese medicine. This point is located on the top of the foot, in the webbing between the first and second toes. To find the LV 3 point, slide your finger down between the first and second toes toward the ankle until you feel a slight depression; this is where the bones of the two toes meet. This point is considered crucial for maintaining a smooth flow of “Qi” (vital energy) throughout the body.
