The best time of day to press the Tai Chong point

The Tai Chong point is the original point of the liver meridian and should be rubbed every day at the ugly hour (1:00-3:00 am). Taichong point, also known as Dachong, is located in the depression before the union of the first and second metatarsal bones, and is known for relieving depression, clearing the liver, clearing the eyes, and pacifying the liver and submerging the yang. It can be used clinically to treat headache, dizziness, redness and swelling of the eyes, distortion of the mouth and eyes, pain in the ribs, hernia, irregular menstruation, menorrhagia, epilepsy, pediatric convulsions, and impotence and paralysis of the lower limbs. Patients can use the thumb or index finger to press and knead the point for about 15 minutes each time, 1-2 times a day. If the self-feeling hand is too tired to persist, the patient can instead press with a slightly harder object. Patients who need this kind of health care, should go to professional medical institutions to seek professional physician guidance, find the right point and then massage, in order to achieve better results.
