The Ganshu acupoint (BL18) is an important point in Traditional Chinese Medicine that helps to release shoulder and neck tension and emotional stress. By massaging the Ganshu acupoint, one can regulate Liver Qi and alleviate the physical and mental discomfort caused by "Liver Qi Stagnation."The point is located two fingers' width out from the ninth thoracic vertebra (T9), and can be massaged with the thumb or a massage ball for self-relaxation. Pairing this practice with massage of the Taichong acupoint (LV3), a healthy diet, mindful movement, and diaphragmatic breathing can help one achieve lasting relaxation and mind-body balance.
