Acupressure Detox for Body Congestion
Benefit Your Eyes Using the Liver Balancing Point Lv 3
This video demonstration guides you how to use the Acupressure detoxification point, Lv 3, the Bigger Rushing point. It’s located on the top of your foot, in the valley or webbing between the large toe and second toe.
Benefits of Lv 3
This powerful point activates and balances the Liver Meridian. It’s a major gateway for energy that flows up your body — the “ascending flow.” Lv 3 also relieves toxicity, frustration, irritability, neuro-muscular disorders, and all kinds of allergic reactions, especially bloodshot, tired, or strained eyes.
Lv 3 Eye Benefits
This Acupressure trigger point can decongest your whole system. When your body is congested it overtaxes your liver and thus effects your eyes. Since Lv 3 energetically balances the liver, it's also good for the eyes.
Functions of the Liver
In Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture, Lv 3 is known to balance the liver, which is the main organ that detoxifies the body. The liver and Lv 3 also clear blood congestion and toxins, making this an excellent detox point.
Congestion and Diet
Due to drinking alcohol or eating a poor diet, such as overeating junk food, many people can develop different types of congestion that can numb the body emotionally spiritually. Lv 3 is a vital point for balancing your liver, which can enhance your aliveness.
The body is a complex organism capable of tremendous feeling and sensitivity. Accessively rich foods containing butter and cream, or fried foods, can cause congestion, slow down your metabolism, and dull your senses. Eating under stress can also stuff your feelings. This can further inhibit your digestion and impair vitality which Lv 3 balances.

Directions
Use your opposite heel to press the Lv 3 Acupressure point, as illustrated, on top of the other foot for pain relief and to detox your liver.
By using your heel you don’t have to reach for the Acupressure point. To stimulate it, you can shift your heel half an inch back and forth over the point for a minute as you focus on breathing deeply.
