There are many ways to protect the liver. The following are some common methods: 1. Comb your hair: Comb your hair with a horn comb or a wooden comb, or use your fingers instead. Comb your hair from the front forehead to the back of the pillow, and then from both sides of the ears to the head and neck. This method could promote blood circulation in the scalp, stimulate the acupoints of the liver and gallbladder meridians, and have the effect of regulating liver qi and nourishing liver blood. 2. Rubbing the ears: Rubbing the auricle with both hands can stimulate the acupoints, relieve the dampness and heat in the liver and gallbladder, and reduce symptoms such as abdominal distension, anorexia, and rib pain. 3. Kowtow: Stand upright, relax your body and mind, hold your hands into a fist shape, and slowly knock on the top of your head. Knocking on the head appropriately could promote the circulation of qi and blood in the liver and gallbladder meridians and stimulate yang qi. 4. Bending over and expanding your chest: Bending over and expanding your chest appropriately can help regulate your body and expel toxins from your body. 5.
