Reflexology Point Taichong (LR 3) used for asthma

1. Taichong (LR 3)
The location of this point is on top of the foot between the big toe and the second toe. It’s one thumb’s width down towards the middle of the foot. The location of the points is dependent on body proportions. To keep the exact location of points standardized, the Chinese often use body parts such as the width of a thumb or a finger. For example, an acupuncture point is "three finger widths" from XYZ landmark. Taichong (LR 3) is a liver detoxification point, which is important for asthma. This point is also good for balancing the liver and great for times when you need a decongestion effect.

2. Collarbone Point
Here’s another point for coughing and lung congestion. This point is very close to the Neck Hollow Point in the depression at the base of the neck. You can find this Neck Hollow Point right now by looking in the mirror.The bones that travel horizontal to make up the bony protuberance of the Neck Hollow Point are your collarbones. This Collarbone point is directly underneath the collarbone; simply move your finger to the side of the bony protuberance and press in on the underside of the bone.Any acupressure points may be tender, especially if the energy along the meridian is blocked at that point. Don’t let that stop you. Simply press and hold the point for up to five minutes. Do this on both sides, as you will find a right collarbone (clavicle) and a left collarbone.
