Traditional Chinese medicine believes that there is something called "qi" in the human body, which is intangible and substantial, but it is very important, such as dizziness, tinnitus, bloating, and constipation, all because "liver qi is making trouble."
First of all, let's talk about dizziness in the liver.
Traditional Chinese medicine says that the liver is the official of emotions. When many people are emotional, they will feel that their brains are hot, and they will be dizzy and unable to stand up immediately. Because. The liver is the main emotion, the main is discharged, the person is angry, the discharge is abnormal, the liver qi is reversed, and the head and face are disturbed, so it will be dizzy.
The same goes for tinnitus. The ear is also one of the seven parts of the head and face, the liver qi is reversed, and the qi and blood cannot nourish the ear hole, and the ear hole is not only not nourished, but is disturbed by the liver qi, which will induce tinnitus, ear stuffiness and ear swelling.
So why is the liver to blame for the problem of bloating and constipation?
This is because the liver belongs to wood and the spleen belongs to soil, and the reversal of liver qi will cause gastrointestinal qi stagnation, and symptoms such as loss of appetite, loss of appetite, and belching and acid reflux will occur. This is like what modern medicine says, the peristalsis of the digestive tract decreases, and food accumulates in the stomach, then there will be abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhea and other symptoms, therefore, some constipation is also caused by liver problems.
So how to regulate?Normally, we should start by clearing the liver and regulating qi.
Today I will tell you a small prescription for three flavors, many Chinese medicine doctors in later generations have added several flavors of medicine on the basis of this prescription, and then formulated a more suitable prescription for different people.
It's just ventilator.
Bupleurum and liver soothing antidepressant medicine, if the liver qi is stagnant, the qi and blood in the body are stagnant, it will consume local yin blood, and yin deficiency is hot, and you can use Bupleurum to relieve liver depression and dissipate heat.
Xiangfu has the effect of soothing the liver and relieving depression, regulating qi and widening, and is used for symptoms such as abdominal distension and flank distension caused by qi stagnation.
In the view of traditional Chinese medicine, the blood is flowing, and the blood is not smooth, it is stasis, so Chuanxiong can not only soothe the liver, but also can invigorate the blood.
The three herbs work together to relieve liver qi and regulate qi. If there is qi and blood deficiency, paleness, and lack of qi, you can add such as angelica, rehmannia and so on.
If the liver qi is stagnant and the depression is heavier, it will lead to dry mouth and bitter mouth, so you can add mint, gardenia, etc.
Some people may ask how to tell if it is caused by liver depression. In addition, liver qi stagnation will also cause problems such as swelling and pain in the ribs on both sides, and large mood swings. It is recommended to use it under the guidance of a doctor.
