Thus, do you know which is the most efficient point of the liver channel in the treatment of psycho-emotional disorders ? Do you know how the heavenly window points achieve their action in emotional disorders ? Do you know why Bai Hui (GV 20) has an action on psychological disorders caused by an ascendant liver yang ?
