Tai Chong. This not-so-well-known word conceals the Chinese designation of an acupressure point that experts in the field consider the most important point of the entire body. You can feel this point on the instep of the foot and it is connected with many bodily functions and ailments that many people face during their lives, yet they overlook this point that could change their lives. Try to massage this point regularly for a maximum of 2 minutes and you will get rid of all troubles. It’s worth a try, isn’t it?
Chinese acupressure has been tested for many millennia
You’ve probably heard of acupressure. It is a system of points on the surface of our body that are connected to internal organs and by massaging them it is possible to restore their function to normal. So if we know the correct points, we can get rid of pain and various chronic illnesses within minutes. However, there is a large number of these points and only truly experienced masters know exactly where to reach to achieve the desired result. From time to time, though, some of their knowledge emerges that helps millions of sufferers.
One such point is Tai Chong, also known as LV-3. This point is located on the instep and is surprisingly connected with a number of different areas, and therefore also with physical ailments that affect many people today. These include, for example, headaches and dizziness, stomach ulcers and general digestive problems, but also vision problems. Regular massage of this spot can relieve not only diarrhea, constipation, vomiting or nausea, but also insomnia, irritability, depression and stress. Research has even shown the effectiveness of massaging this point against tremors caused by Parkinson’s disease.
How to find the LV-3 or Tai Chong point?
To find this miraculous spot, find the point where the big toe and the second toe meet on the foot. It is located about two finger-widths from the junction between the first and second toes. You can easily tell you’ve found this point because it is more sensitive than other places nearby.
For proper effectiveness the correct pressure must be used. Press and hold this point with your index or middle finger for 2-3 seconds. Then slightly direct the pressure toward the bone leading from the second toe. Then press for 5 seconds, release and repeat. Massage the spot every day for 2 minutes. If you want to massage in circular motions, move counterclockwise.
