The Epoch Times

In today’s fast-paced, screen-dominated world, our bodies pay the price for long hours of sedentary activities and eye strain.

Introducing today’s acupoint: Xing Jian (LR2), a powerful acupoint in Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) known for its ability to regulate blood flow, ease hypertension, and enhance skin radiance. One of its most remarkable benefits is that it’s a game-changer for tired, swollen, or irritated eyes, whether from staring at screens, battling fatigue, driving for long hours, or dealing with conditions like styes or glaucoma. If you spend your days seated and straining your vision, this acupoint is worth your attention.

How Xing Jian Works, According to TCM

In TCM, each internal organ has a corresponding external opening, and the liver is connected to the eyes. Xing Jian (LR2) is the second acupoint on the liver meridian—an energy pathway running through the body—and plays a vital role in maintaining balance. As the fire point of this meridian, it helps clear excess heat, regulate the flow of vital energy (qi), and promote smooth blood circulation.
