What is Reflexology?
Reflexology is an alternative medical practice that involves the application of pressure to specific points on the feet, hands, and ears. These points are believed to correspond to different organs and systems in the body. Through stimulation of these points, reflexology aims to promote relaxation and healing.
The Specific Point: Tai Chong (Liver 3)
1. Location:
Tai Chong, also known as Liver 3 (LV3), is located on the top of your foot, just about where the big toe and second toe meet. You can find it by sliding your finger down between the two toes and feeling for a slight depression.
2. Function:
Tai Chong is known in traditional Chinese medicine for its ability to alleviate stress, reduce anxiety, and promote overall relaxation—all essential factors for a restful sleep.
3. How to Apply Pressure:
Use your thumb to apply gentle yet firm pressure on this point for 2-3 minutes. It’s most effective when done just before going to bed.
