Acupuncture has a detoxifying effect. The specific acupoints are as follows:

1. Shenque Point

The Shenque point is located in the center of the abdomen. This point is a common health-preserving point. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that moxibustion on the Shenque point can strengthen the body and regulate the stomach and intestines. It also has a certain effect on nourishing the liver. Moxibustion on this point in spring can also enhance the body's immunity and help people resist diseases.

2. Yuji Point

Yuji point is an acupuncture point on the hand. According to traditional Chinese medicine, Yuji point has the effect of purging liver fire, so when we feel that the liver qi is strong, we can achieve the purpose of reducing liver fire through moxibustion and massage of this point. In addition, if we feel that the qi and blood and meridians in the body are blocked in the spring, we can also use moxibustion on the Yuji acupoint to unblock the meridians and activate the qi and blood.

3. Middle sealing point

Many friends don’t know about the Zhongfeng point. The Zhongfeng point is located on the leg. In traditional Chinese medicine, this point can suppress excessive liver fire. Moxibustion on the Zhongfeng point also has the function of maintaining essence and blood. For male friends, it is very necessary to take good care of this point.

4. Taichong Point

Taichong acupoint is an important acupoint for nourishing the liver. This acupoint is the source of the circulation of qi and blood in the liver meridian. It is recommended that people perform more moxibustion on Taichong acupoint in spring. This can stimulate the liver, make the liver qi and blood more active, and improve the purpose of liver blood deficiency.

5. Sanyinjiao acupoint

People should be familiar with the Sanyinjiao acupoint, but many people don’t know that moxibustion on the Sanyinjiao acupoint can also nourish the liver. This is because Sanyinjiao acupoint has the effect of regulating the liver and kidney, and regulating the spleen and stomach, so moxibustion on this acupoint in spring also has a good maintenance effect on the liver.

In addition to moxibustion acupoints, paying more attention to the details of life in spring can also help maintain the liver.

How to nourish and protect the liver in spring

Drink less or stop drinking

Everyone knows that alcohol can cause great harm to the liver, especially for office workers who often drink at social events, who are more likely to suffer from alcoholic liver disease. If you want to make your liver healthier in spring, it is very necessary to drink less or no alcohol.

Eat more green and cyan vegetables

According to traditional Chinese medicine, the liver is associated with the color green, and eating more green and blue vegetables is good for the liver. In spring, we can eat more spinach, bok choy, or cruciferous broccoli and cauliflower, which are the liver's favorite foods.

Drink more water

Water can carry away excess toxins from the body in the form of urine, so drinking more water is beneficial for liver detoxification. It is recommended to drink boiled water or honey water, drink less beverages, and it is not advisable to drink fruit juice often. The liver-nourishing effect of drinking fruit juice is not as good as eating fruit directly.
