All diseases are treated from the liver, and it is said that this is the most complete way to nourish the liver! (Remember to bookmark)

The liver is a very important organ of the human body, both detoxification and blood storage, Chinese medicine has a hundred diseases from the liver treatment, this article introduces the liver and human health in all aspects of the relationship, as well as maintenance methods.

In the eyes of traditional Chinese medicine, the liver is a part, and it has two major functions, one is the main drainage, and the other is the main blood storage.

For example, if a person is angry, after a long time, the liver qi is stagnant, which will affect the transportation function of the spleen and stomach, that is, the digestive function is poor, so people don't want to eat when they are angry. For example, when people are exercising, the liver distributes blood to the limbs, and before the menstrual period of female friends, the liver distributes blood to the sea of blood, that is, the pulse, at that time, the blood of the liver is less, and the flexibility of the character decreases, so female friends will always have a bad temper for a few days.

1. The relationship between the liver and emotions

The liver is angry, angry and hurts the liver, the liver blood is too heavy, it is easy to cause red face, red ears, dizziness, headache, this is the manifestation of liver fire, long-term lack of sleep, will cause liver fire to become more and more vigorous, manifested as irritable mood, love to lose temper, so that people's sufficient sleep can nourish the liver, can make the mood can reach a very good state. In turn, adjusting one's emotions is also conducive to nourishing the liver.

"The liver hides the blood, the heart acts, the blood is transported to the meridians when the person moves, and the blood is stored in the liver when the person is quiet." "The liver hides the blood, the blood gives up the soul", "the liver, the general's officer, the plan is out of the way", so the liver participates in spiritual activities.

2. The relationship between liver and gallbladder bladder

The liver and gallbladder are each other, and the physiological relationship is also very close.

The liver is mainly drained, and the gallbladder is mainly lowered. The normal excretion of bile depends on the excretion function of the liver, and the abnormal function of the liver will inevitably affect the secretion and excretion of bile. Conversely, poor bile excretion can also affect liver excretion. From a functional point of view, the gallbladder is also a good helper of the liver, the bile secreted by the liver is stored in the gallbladder, once we start to eat, the gallbladder begins to contract, so the bile flows into the intestines to help the digestion of fat.

The liver and gallbladder are indeed a pair of organs that "share honor and disgrace". Liver disease often affects the gallbladder, and biliary disease often affects the liver, and people with liver disease are more likely to suffer from gallstones, on the other hand, gallstones, biliary roundworms or tumors will also make bacteria "swim upstream", causing liver and even systemic infection.

3. The relationship between the liver and the eye

"The liver opens to the eyes", and the eyes are also the "window" of the liver. In addition to problems caused by vision loss, frequent eye discoloration, dry corners of the eyes, and difficulty seeing, it can also be a precursor to liver failure. If the liver is damp and hot, the eyes are cloudy and yellow, if the liver fire is very strong, the eyes are red or even inflamed, if the liver qi is deficient, it is easy to get tired after reading for a long time, and if it goes on further, it will become myopia. On the other hand, if the eyes are too tired, improper use of the eyes will also affect the liver.

The liver is open to the eyes, the liquid is tears, the liver is the main tendon, and its splendor is in the claws

The meridians of the liver are connected to the eye system, and the vision depends on the excretion of the liver and the nutrition of the liver blood. Tears come out of the eyes, so the liver is tears in the fluid. It gives a broader meaning to "liver", the main tendon of the liver, which is in the claw, mainly because the fascia depends on the nourishment of liver blood, and the claw is the tendon, and the symptoms of convulsions of the limbs, angular arch reflexion, trismus, strabismus and upward channeling are closely related to the liver.

Fourth, the relationship between the liver and the spleen

The liver and spleen are mainly the relationship between excretion and transport, and between blood production and blood storage. The movement of the spleen depends on the passage of liver qi, and the excretion of the liver and the storage of blood need the spleen and stomach metaplasia to be subdued. If the spleen is out of health, the source of blood is lacking, which can lead to insufficient liver blood, if the liver qi is stagnant, the discharge is dereliction of duty, which affects the spleen and stomach to rise and fall, and the movement is lost, causing a decline in digestive function and loss of appetite, which can lead to "liver and spleen disharmony"; If the spleen and stomach are damp and hot, steaming the liver and gallbladder will make the liver and gallbladder excretion unfavorable, which can cause jaundice. It can be seen that liver disease can spread to the spleen, and spleen disease can reach the liver, and they affect each other.

5. The relationship between the liver and the heart

The heart is the main blood, and the liver is the main blood; The heart is the main mind, the liver is the main one, and the emotions are relaxed. Therefore, the relationship between the heart and the liver is mainly manifested in the blood, spirit, and emotion.

Blood

The main blood of the heart promotes the blood to run in the meridians; The liver stores blood, stores blood and regulates the distribution of blood volume in various viscera tissues and organs throughout the body. The heart and liver cooperate with each other to maintain the normal operation of the blood.

Spiritual and emotional aspects

The mind is the master of the five internal organs and the spiritual home; The liver is drained and the mood is smoothed. Mental and emotional activities are based on blood, and the heart and liver are closely related to the operation of blood. Therefore, the heart and liver organs work together to regulate people's spiritual and emotional activities.

The heart and liver affect each other, and the heart, liver, yin and blood are insufficient, and often affect each other. Clinically, it is manifested as palpitation, palpitations, pale complexion, pale tongue, weak pulse, dizziness, astringent menstruation in women, insomnia and dreams.

6. The relationship between the liver and the kidney

The liver and kidney are mainly the relationship between blood and essence. The liver stores blood, the kidney stores essence, the liver and kidney are homologous, and the essence and blood are mutual. Liver and blood need to rely on the nourishment and biochemistry of kidney essence, and kidney essence must be continuously replenished by liver and blood essence, and the two are interdependent and mutually reinforcing. If the kidney yin is insufficient, the liver is not nourished, which can cause the so-called "water does not contain wood" symptoms of insufficient liver yin and hyperactive liver yang; On the contrary, the liver yang is hyperactive for a long time, and the yin essence is eliminated, which can also aggravate the deficiency of kidney yin, and cause headache, dizziness, weakness of waist, knees and legs, turbidity or edema. This relationship is mainly manifested in the menstrual physiology of women and the function of ejaculation in men.

7. The relationship between the liver and the lungs

The liver stores blood, the lungs store qi, and the liver qi and lung qi rise and fall up and down yin and yang, so as to maintain the normal lifting and lowering operation of the human body's qi and blood, although there is a heart in charge, but there must be the restriction of the main lung node and the liver's main excretion effect, and the two organs play a certain role in the operation of the whole body's qi and blood.

The liver and lungs interact with each other. Such as abnormal rise and fall of the qi machine: liver qi stagnation, qi stagnation into fire, liver fire burning lungs, lung de-purification, common hypochondriac pain, irritability, cough, hemoptysis and other symptoms of liver fire in the lungs (wood fire). On the contrary, if the lungs are not cleared, the heat and dryness can also affect the liver, and the liver is out of order, and the excretion is unfavorable, then at the same time of coughing, there will be symptoms of chest and flank pain and fullness, headache, dizziness, red face, red eyes and other symptoms of lung dryness and liver injury (gold does not make wood).

After introducing the relationship between the liver and emotions and the health of other organs of the human body, let's take a look at the diseases closely related to the liver and daily conditioning methods.

8. The relationship between liver and disease

Eye disease

The liver is open to the eyes, and it hurts the blood for a long time, and it hurts the liver for a long time.

The liver meridian is connected upwards to the eye system, and the vision of the eyes depends on the excretion of liver qi and the nutrition of liver blood. "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing": "The liver can be seen by blood"; "The liver qi is through the eyes, and the liver and the eyes can distinguish the five colors." If liver blood is insufficient, blurred vision and night blindness may occur; If the liver yin is lost, the eyes will be dry and the vision will be reduced; If the liver is on fire, the eyes will be red and swollen and painful.

Dry eye syndrome is a common occurrence in people over the age of 50. Chronic conjunctival and corneal dryness in both eyes is manifested by insufficient tear volume or excessive tear loss due to accelerated tear evaporation due to poor tear quality. Symptoms are mostly manifested as dry and uncomfortable eyes, burning sensation, scrubbing sensation, pinprick sensation, itchy eyes, photophobia, red eyes, blurred vision, visual fatigue, etc. Symptoms of dry eye syndrome can be aggravated by excessive eye use, dry heat, soot environments, and other eye irritations.

The most commonly used treatment for dry eye is artificial tear replacement therapy. This rule of law does not cure the root cause. Taoist doctors believe that the liver is the main reservoir of blood, open the eyes, yin blood is insufficient, and the eyes are not nourished, so this disease can be seen and can achieve better results through the treatment of nourishing yin and nourishing blood and soft liver.

At the same time of treatment, it is recommended to quit smoking and drinking, ensure adequate sleep, and eat more green vegetables such as amaranth, spinach, leeks, lettuce and other fruits, such as papaya, bananas, etc., as well as animal liver, milk, soy products, etc.

Depression

Why are emotional diseases closely related to the liver? "The liver is drained, the blood is hidden, and the will is angry." If the excretory function of the liver is normal, the human body can better coordinate its own mental activities, which is manifested as a happy spirit, a comfortable mood, and a sensitive reason; If the discharge is not successful, it will be manifested as mental depression, sentimentality, dullness and crying, belching too much, chest and flank distension, etc.; If the excretion is too much, it will manifest as a state of excitement, such as irritability, dizziness and pain, insomnia and dreams.

"Li Han Piaowen" says: "The feeling of lust can be cured by non-medicine; The disease of the seven emotions should be cured with affection. ”

For people with emotional diseases, the liver should be nourished by love. Cultivate positive and healthy emotions, maintain a happy mood, learn to self-regulate, and vent bad emotions in time, don't hold them in your heart.

The liver is green among the five colors, and green has the effect of stabilizing people's emotions. You can go on an outing, breathe fresh air, and live in health and sunshine.

"The Yellow Emperor's Neijing" says: "Tranquility and nothingness, true qi comes from it, the spirit is guarded, and illness is never safe."

In line with natural health preservation, the "Lingshu Benshen Chapter" says: "The health liquid of the wise man will be suitable for cold and temperature according to the four seasons, and the joy and anger will be peaceful, and the yin and yang will be soft and rigid." If so, the evil will not come, and it will live forever. It is necessary to conform to the natural laws of spring, summer, autumn harvest, and winter storage and adapt to the cold and temperature, maintain the peace of yin and yang, qi and blood in the human body, so that diseases and evil cannot enter. Go to bed late in spring and summer, and get up early in autumn and winter, so that the yin and yang qi in the body can adapt to the natural yin and yang growth.

"Running water does not rot, and the hub does not beetle", regular exercise promotes the flow of qi and blood, so that the human body muscles and bones are strong and physically and mentally healthy. Especially for the elderly, only by "working tirelessly" and persevering can we achieve the purpose of health preservation and disease prevention.

Breast hyperplasia

Breast hyperplasia in women is related to the meridians, the liver meridian starts from the feet, to the inner thighs, the sides of the abdomen, the sides of the chest, and then to the head, all the way to the top, that is, the top of the head. Because it is distributed on both sides of the breast, in the case of long-term discomfort, that is, liver qi stagnation, and uncomfortable, the blood will stagnate, and after a long period of stagnation, it will form a lump, which is breast hyperplasia.

Breast hyperplasia is a common breast disease in women and belongs to the category of "breast fetish". Breast lumps, round, cord-like or nodular, tender, enlarged and stiffened before menstruation, and relieved after menstruation, are closely related to emotional changes. "Treat the liver first, and the atmosphere will disappear by itself." This disease is mostly caused by emotional internal injury, stagnation of liver qi, stagnation of qi and blood, mutual condensation of phlegm and qi, and obstruction of the mammary network. Therefore, the treatment is to soothe the liver and relieve depression, invigorate blood and dispel blood stasis, and dissolve knots with softness and firmness.

It is best not to put too much psychological pressure on yourself, not to be too nervous at work, and to keep your mood comfortable.

"Heal before the disease happens", that is, to prevent the disease. For example, the most common women are prone to breast hyperplasia, uterine fibroids, neuropathic headaches, and chronic stomach diseases, which will occur, so liver stagnation and qi stagnation have a direct cause of this disease, and the importance of nourishing the liver lies in preventing the occurrence of these diseases.
