In Chinese medicines, if the eyesight is failing, it could mean that the liver is not functioning optimally. In this situation, the liver can gradually improve through dietary changes, daily Taijiquan, qigong, yoga, meditation and reflexology. You can also perform some simple foot reflexology: ust roll a !ooden foot roller or rolling pin beneath the feet from the toes to the heels for " minutes, concentrating more on the the areas bet!een the second and third toes on both feet #ie. th reflex areas for the eyes$. Then concentrate on the liver reflex area, !hich is on the right foot belo! the ball of the foot, in line !ith the third, fourth and fifth toes. If the liver or gall bladder is not functioning properly, this area !ill feel very tender.
