The #1 Spring Acupressure Point

It is called Taichong, or Great Rushing.  Located between the first and second metatarsal bones, it is the source point of the Liver channel.  Source points are acupuncture points where energy from deep in the body surfaces and concentrates.  These points modulate organ function.

Activating this point helps to improve any stagnation, any time of year.  It is extra beneficial during the springtime to address issues like itchy, watery eyes or headaches.  Spring Forward Into Health has more info about the Liver and spring connection.

Starting at your toes, run your finger between the metatarsal bones toward your ankle on both feet.  The point is located at the pronounced depression before the junction of the metatarsals.  Apply pressure in the area until you discover a tender spot.  Then, apply firm pressure until it feels a little achy.  Repeat until the achiness disappears.
