Pressure Points for Stress Relief

Chronic stress corresponds to liver qi stagnation in TCM. The liver governs the smooth flow of qi; excessive stress disrupts this flow, causing chest tightness, sighing, and emotional depression. Acupressure helps by soothing the liver, regulating qi flow, and calming the mind.
