In TCM theory, there is a proverb: "When a person lies down, the blood returns to the liver", which means that a person's liver health can be judged by observing the state of sleep. If you haven't experienced these five conditions, your liver is healthy.
The first is slow to fall asleep, some people can fall asleep as soon as they lie down, and people with a bad liver usually have difficulty falling asleep, if you often lie in bed for half a day and can't sleep, it is likely that the liver blood is insufficient. If you are at peace, you will be able to sleep normally, and the lack of liver blood will lead to restlessness and other problems.
The second is limb cramps, traditional Chinese medicine believes that the liver is the main blood, the liver is in the body and tendons, and the lack of liver blood cannot nourish the tendons and veins of the limbs, which can easily lead to cramps.
Although it is normal for many children to talk in their dreams at night, adults often grind their teeth and talk in their dreams at night may be because of their liver fire.
The fourth is to wake up in the early morning, the liver is drained, and the mood is regulated, and the liver disorder leads to qi stagnation, which is easy to affect sleep, making people wake up between one and three o'clock in the morning.
The fifth is dry mouth and bitter mouth, the liver and gallbladder are each other's inside and outside, and the liver fire may burn bile, resulting in dry mouth and bitter mouth.
If you have the above conditions, it is recommended to consult a professional TCM practitioner for syndrome differentiation and conditioning.
