If I had to give Liver 3 a nickname it would be the “Cranky, Irritability, Anger Relieving Point!” This point is by far the best point for calming emotions related to anger and irritability. In Chinese Medicine the Liver channel is responsible for moving energy all directions. When energy gets “stuck” in the Liver channel it then EXPLODES and leads to symptoms such as anger, irritability, PMS, IBS, twitching eyes, and a throbbing headache.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I like to teach my patients how to give foot rubs to their family members at home. Who doesn’t love a foot rub, right? Well, a well-done-relaxing foot rub, with the inclusion of Liver 3, definitely leads to happiness for everyone involved. Spread the word! Liver 3 makes people happy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
