If the liver is damaged, 3 parts of the body will "turn black" and 2 places will "stink", so be vigilant!
In the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing", the liver is compared to the "general's officer", and the liver is not an exaggeration as the general organ of the human body, because the liver is very important to the human body.
As the saying goes: the liver is good and people do not fall, the liver is responsible for the digestion and absorption of the three major nutrients of human fat, protein and sugar. Therefore, it is very important to detect the signs of liver lesions in time!
If the liver is damaged, 3 parts of the body will "turn black" and 2 places will "stink", so be vigilant!
1. Three "blackenings"
Darkening of the face: The face of people with a bad liver is bloodless and dull, this is because the liver blood is insufficient, the face is not nourished enough, and the symptoms of dull yellow face will appear when there are too many toxins in the liver. In addition, one of the causes of acne is due to excessive toxins in the liver, resulting in hormone imbalance and endocrine imbalance. Acne is also due to the increase in luteinizing hormone in the body, and liver damage cannot destroy it, and the balance of hormones cannot be adjusted.
Darkening of the eye circles: One of the causes of dark circles under the eyes is the manifestation of certain liver diseases; Eyes often have problems such as dryness, itching and photophobia, which indicate that the liver blood is insufficient, and there is not enough liver yin to nourish the eyes; If the liver is too hot, it will cause the eyes to become red, angry, and even inflamed.
In addition, a bad liver will also affect sleep, resulting in insomnia, dreams, and easy awakening, and poor sleep will also lead to dark eye circles.
Darkening of the nails: Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the liver is the main tendon, and the nails are part of the "tendons", and if the liver accumulates toxins, there will generally be obvious signals on the nails. If the nail surface is smooth, the color is ruddy and shiny, it means that it is healthy, if there are black vertical lines on the nail, or the edges are black and white in the middle, and the unevenness is uneven, it means that there is a problem with the liver, which is a manifestation of liver loss and leakage, and it is best to go to the hospital for relevant examinations.
2. The second place will "stink"
The body stinks: The liver is the body's largest detoxification organ, it is like a computer, it will "heat up" and run sluggishly when overloaded.
Due to changes in people's diet and lifestyle, the pressure on the liver is also increasing, and when it is overloaded, when it is unable to break down toxins, harmful substances in the body will be excreted through feces and pores of the skin, resulting in odors.
So when body odor occurs, it is enough to indicate that the liver has been severely damaged and should never be ignored.
Worsening bad breath: Bad breath is not only a problem with digestive function, but also a problem with the liver. When liver function is impaired, the body's toxins cannot be excreted, and the blood levels of ammonia and urea nitrogen, which are gases with a strong pungent odor, increase.
They are excreted from the human mouth and nose through breathing, so bad breath is a sign of bad liver.
If a patient with liver disease has obvious bad breath and body odor, it means that the liver has a deep "reservoir of toxin" and needs to be detoxified!
The liver is not good, and it cannot be ignored blindly, otherwise it may eventually develop into fatty liver, liver cirrhosis, and even liver cancer, which will cause irreparable damage.
So how can we protect the health of our liver in our lives?
1. Wake up early and urinate in time
Many people will have lazy bedding in the morning, even if they have the urge to urinate, they are too lazy to get up, and when they can't bear it, they will get up immediately and go straight to the bathroom!
But Dr. Daniel Parady, an expert at the European Association for the Study of the Liver, said that detoxification in the body can be carried out through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements.
Urinate as soon as possible after waking up in the morning can remove the toxins that have accumulated overnight from the body in time, preventing the toxins from remaining in the body and causing liver "poisoning".
2. Don't stay up late and go to bed early
We all know that "lying at night nourishes the liver", while the human body rests at night, it is also the time for the liver to repair itself, so if you often stay up late and the liver does not get a good rest, it will inevitably cause liver damage!
Moreover, staying up late often will not only lead to lack of sleep, decreased body resistance, but also affect the liver's self-repair at night. For people who have already been infected with the hepatitis B virus, the damaged liver cells will be difficult to repair and may worsen.
Therefore, before going to bed at night, try not to play with your mobile phone, close your eyes well, and fall asleep as soon as possible.
3. A cup between meals protects the liver
Prepare some gauze tea bags, take 1.2g of dandelion root, 1.5g of orchid root, 0.2g of prickly rose, 0.1g of osmanthus, crush them all to make dandelion rose chicory tea bags, soak in water and drink!
Dandelion root can protect the liver, clear liver toxins, and prevent liver damage. It is most commonly used in patients who need to remove liver toxins, and can enhance the liver's regeneration ability, which can help the body eliminate more toxins!
Orchid chrysanthemum root has a good hepatoprotective effect, which can accelerate the existence of choline in phospholipid synthesis, so it can accelerate the rate of cell repair and has a significant protective effect on liver cells.
Rosa spinosa can strengthen the liver and stomach, promote blood circulation, warm the heart, liver and blood vessels, invigorate blood circulation and dispel blood stasis, and can dissipate the garbage deposited in the body, which is equivalent to the effect of detergent, which is conducive to the improvement of melasma.
Osmanthus has the effect of detoxifying the body and nourishing the lungs. For bad breath, stomach cold and stomach pain, it can remove bad breath and moisturize the skin.
The four are matched together, making a cup of tea, protecting the liver and detoxifying, and protecting the health of the liver, which is very beneficial!
Fourth, press more liver protection acupoints - Liver Yu acupoints
The Liver Yu acupoint is located on the back, under the spinous process of the 9th thoracic vertebra, 1.5 inches apart, it is the back Yu point of the liver, and it is the "water pool" formed by the convergence of the liver's vitality in the back of the body.
Traditional Chinese medicine theory believes that when there is a lesion in the viscera, abnormal reactions (such as sensitivity, tenderness, etc.) can occur in the corresponding back Yu acupoint, so this acupoint is often massaged to relieve liver and qi, reduce fire and fever, benefit the liver and eyes, and relieve pain.
