Recently, staying at home for a long time has caused many people to experience blood stasis and qi stagnation. In the spring, the liver meridian is not soft, and the liver qi cannot be dredged and raised. They will feel unwell for the whole year, and the consequences will be serious.
How to deal with the spring qi and dredge the liver qi?
In “Lingshu”, it says: Liver is the union of tendons. In fact, it is possible to dredge the liver qi by kneading the tendons.
The human body has three tendons: Heaven, Earth, and Human (Zongjin). Earth tendons are the easiest “tendons” to find, observe, and massage. They are located on the soles of our feet and are the most tense and critical place. Stimulating here can do more with less, and rub all the muscles of the whole body.
In a grumpy person, this tendon is hard, like a tight violin string. For people with insufficient liver qi, this tendon is weak and weak, because the blood does not flow down and cannot be nourished. People with weak liver qi, such as people who drink heavily, work in housework, and worry, will have a thick tendon, but when rubbed, there is no feeling, like hemp rope.
For the liver, it fills the tendons; when the liver qi is weakened, the tendons cannot move.
When the ground tendons are rubbed smoothly, the muscles, bones, and meridians of the whole body are unclogged, and the liver is also smoothed.
【Specific method】Sit on a chair in a comfortable position, place your right foot on your left thigh, stretch the sole of your foot straight, and pull your right toe back with your right hand, and you will find a stiff tendon emerges from the sole of your foot.
Press, knead and pluck back and forth along the rib with your thumb to soften and loosen it.
People who are used to fitness and have fascia balls or massage rollers at home can use it to step on the gluten and roll up and down 20-30 times.

During the process of massaging the ground tendons, there may be farting and hiccups. This is normal, because kneading the ground tendons is a process of raising the clear qi and lowering the turbid qi. When the turbid qi is exhausted, the body will naturally recover. will become lighter.
