Prevent liver cancer by pressing five acupoints

1. Liver Shu Point

The Ganshu acupoint is located on the back of the human body, 1.5 inches below the spinous process of the 9th thoracic vertebra. It is the back-shu acupoint of the liver, and it is also the pool of liver energy gathered on the back of the body. This health-preserving acupoint is an indispensable liver-nourishing acupoint. The combination of Ganshu and Taichong belongs to the Yuyuan acupoint method in traditional Chinese medicine, which can replenish liver yin, nourish and soften the liver, and prevent and treat liver diseases.

2. Taichong Point

Taichong acupoint is located on the dorsum of the foot, in the depression in front of the junction of the first and second metatarsal bones. Taichong acupoint is one of the important health-preserving acupoints on the liver meridian of the foot. It is the original acupoint of the liver meridian, just like a warehouse for storing the vital energy of the liver meridian. Massaging this health-preserving acupoint can mobilize the vital energy of the liver meridian and make the liver function normally.

3. Taixi Point

Taixi acupoint is located on the inside of the foot, in the depression between the back of the inner ankle and the heel bone tendon, that is, in the depression between the inner ankle and the Achilles tendon, and is symmetrical on both sides. This health-preserving acupoint is the original acupoint of the kidney, and is the warehouse for storing kidney vitality. The liver belongs to wood, and the kidney belongs to water. Trees need watering to grow healthily, so nourishing the liver must nourish yin. Massaging Taixi acupoint can mobilize kidney function, thereby achieving the purpose of nourishing water and containing wood.

4. Xingjian acupoint

Xingjian acupoint is located between the big toe and the second toe. It is a fire acupoint. The liver belongs to wood, and wood generates fire. If your liver fire is too strong, you should relieve the heart fire. Xingjian acupoint is a key health acupoint for relieving heart fire. Massaging the Xingjian acupoint can disperse the heart fire from here.

5. Dadun Point

Dadun acupoint is located next to the nail seam on the inside of the big toe. Dun means thick, and Dadun means particularly thick. Dadun acupoint is also a Jing acupoint, and Jing means source. There is a Dadun acupoint on the edge of the big toe nail, closest to the second toe. When locating Dadun acupoint, you can sit upright or lie on your back.

Tips for preventing liver cancer

1. Do not eat spoiled food

Some people don't pay much attention to their diet and often eat spoiled food. Eating moldy food can easily cause liver cancer. I don't think it's necessarily good. If the temperature in the plastic bag is high, the temperature in the grain is high, and the moisture is greater than 16%, it will mold. Moldy food must be dried, for example: corn, peanuts, peanut oil, peanut butter, etc. are foods that are easy to mold, and these foods must be kept carefully.

2. Pay attention to drinking water hygiene

People drink a lot of water every day, and drinking water hygiene is the first priority. Tap water is not necessarily clean. There are water tanks on the roofs of buildings above 5 floors. The water tanks should be cleaned by a dedicated person, and it is best to perform secondary disinfection. The water tank body should also use chemicals that will not pollute water. This is one of the key points in preventing liver cancer.

3. Don’t smoke or drink

Smoking and drinking are very bad habits, especially for people who have been smoking for decades. The gastric mucosa in the stomach protects the human body. Alcohol can digest the gastric mucosa, injure the cells of the stomach, and the toxic substances in the food are easily absorbed by the stomach. This can easily cause alcoholic hepatitis, reduce the immune function of the liver and the whole body, and damage the detoxification function of the liver. This is why people who drink have poor detoxification function and are prone to alcoholic cirrhosis, and some cirrhosis will turn into liver cancer.
