Acupuncture treatment is useful in relieving the uncomfortable symptoms caused by liver qi stagnation (poor qi and blood transportation in the liver and emotional depression), and the exact efficacy varies from person to person. According to Chinese medicine meridian theory, liver qi stagnation belongs to the lesions of the foot syncopal liver meridian. Since the liver meridian and the gallbladder meridian are mutually exclusive, acupuncture points on the liver meridian and the gallbladder meridian can be selected for treatment of liver qi stagnation, such as tai-chong and guang-liang. Tai Chong is located at the depression in front of the first and second metatarsal bones on the dorsum of the foot, and is an original point of the Liver meridian. It has the efficacy of dispersing Liver-Qi and relieving depression (treating depression by unblocking Liver-Qi), promoting Qi-relieving pain (relieving pain by regulating the body’s Qi-echannel), and leveling Liver-Qi and quenching wind (regulating Liver’s function to get rid of the wind within the body), so it can be used for treating the symptoms of Liver-Qi-distress caused by depression. Guangming is located on the lateral side of the lower leg, 5 inches above the tip of the outer ankle, at the anterior edge of the fibula, as a point of the bile meridian, with the effect of dredging up the liver and clearing the eyes, and activating the meridians and collaterals, it can be used to alleviate the distension and pain in the chest and ribs caused by the liver-qi stagnation, the paralysis of the lower extremities (lower extremity weakness, numbness and pain), and the distension and pain in the breasts and other disorders. It should be noted that although acupuncture can relieve the discomfort caused by liver qi stagnation, if the symptoms are more severe, it is recommended that the treatment be combined with traditional Chinese medicine to enhance the efficacy. Acupuncture treatment should be performed by a TCM practitioner and should not be self-administered.
