【三大疏肝減壓穴位】
壓力看不到又摸不著，但它卻影響著不少人的身心健康、工作表現甚至人際關係。有些人以為自己沒有壓力，其實壓力會以不同方式呈現出來而自己未必知道。從中醫角度來看，壓力會改變人的身心狀態，你最近一個月有以下症狀出現嗎？
☐ 常嘆氣
☐ 多打嗝或放屁
☐ 常不經意乾咳，自覺喉嚨中有東西卡住，吞不下，吐不出
☐ 心神恍惚
☐ 情緒鬱悶或經常感覺煩躁
☐ 女士經前會乳房脹痛，部份男士會睪丸脹痛，或胸脅脹痛
☐ 大便不調，時會便秘，時會大便稀爛
☐ 遇到人多、狹窄空間會出現頭痛或呼吸不暢等不適症狀
如果有3個或以上症狀，代表你屬於氣滯體質。此類體質容易出現於自我要求高、壓力大/執著、思慮過多或經常憂心人士身上，臟腑及經絡之氣阻滯不暢，遇有「氣頂」的事容易氣結難下，令體內氣血不順，影響情緒。
氣滯體質人士要學習「疏肝」，抒發鬱結令心情暢快，肝能順利疏泄，精神情緒就能愉悅。平日抽時間做一些紓壓的事情，例如煲劇、運動、放空等。如果感覺壓力爆煲時，立即按揉減壓穴位，有助紓緩因氣機不暢引起之頭痛、頭暈、目赤腫痛等症狀。如不適症狀未能減退，除了找人傾訴，將內心鬱結與朋友分擔，也建議看中醫對症下藥較穩妥。

Three main acupoints to soothe liver
Stress is invisible and intangible, but it affects the physical and mental health of a lot of people, individuals’ performance at work, and their interpersonal relationship with people. Some people believe they do not have stress, but stress manifests in ways we might not know. From the perspective of Chinese Medicine, stress can change how we feel about our bodies and emotions. Have you experienced these symptoms in the recent month?
☐ sigh frequently
☐ burp or fart
☐ often dry coughing unconsciously. Feeling stuck in throat, unable to swallow or spit.
☐ absent-mindedness
☐ depressed or often feeling irritable
☐ for ladies, breast pain before menstruation. Some men have testicular pain, or chest pain.
☐ experience bowel problems. Sometimes constipation, sometimes loose stools.
☐ headaches or shortness of breath may occur when there are many people or in a narrow space
If you exhibit 3 or more symptoms, your body experiences the stagnation of the qi. Individuals with this condition are often perfectionists who would always put pressure on themselves, and they would overthink and become excessively anxious. Stagnation of qi in the Meridian and internal organs can cause qi and blood stagnation in the entire body, affecting the individual’s emotions.
Individuals with a qi-stagnation body constitution need to learn to soothe the liver to relieve stress. They would feel better and become more spirited once they manage to soothe the liver.
Do spend time carrying out activities such as watching drama series, exercising, and spacing out to relieve stress. When you feel you are about to break down, you should start massaging acupoints to relieve stress. By massaging the acupoints, you can relieve headaches, dizziness, bloodshot eyes, and swelling that are caused by the poor circulation of the qi and the organs. Should such discomfort persist, you can consult Chinese physicians to seek the right treatment besides pouring your heart out to your friends.
