According to a sentence in traditional Chinese medicine, "When you see the disease of the liver, you should know the liver and pass on the spleen, and you should first realize the spleen." ”
It can be seen that the liver and spleen affect each other, and there is a causal relationship.
People with a hot liver usually have a red tongue, yellow or greasy tongue coating, and may also have symptoms such as yellow urine and bad breath.
At the same time, the liver fire is also easy to cause symptoms of spleen deficiency, such as light mouth and loss of appetite, which is known as nadumi in traditional Chinese medicine.
In these patients, the tongue may be pale white or tooth-marked, and the tongue coating may be white or greasy.
Therefore, we can conclude that liver fire usually leads to decreased spleen function.
In the process of liver fire, in addition to regulating the function of the spleen and stomach, it is also necessary to pay attention to regulating the liver qi.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that too much qi will be transformed into fire, and liver fire is formed by the stagnation of liver qi.
Emotional anger, depression, sadness, etc., can harm the liver.
Many people lose their appetite after getting angry, which is actually a manifestation of liver qi invading the stomach.
In addition, while regulating the spleen and stomach and relieving liver qi, we also need to dispel dampness.
The aggravation of dampness can also further affect the function of the spleen and stomach.
At the same time, the liver is also prone to symptoms such as tiredness, fatigue, and muscle aches.
Once the function of the spleen and stomach is impaired, it will further affect the liver.
The ancients had a saying: "A thousand cold is easy to dissipate, easy to damp and difficult to remove", dampness belongs to yin and evil, lingering and does not heal, and it is easy to hurt yang, so it is very important to dispel dampness.
For people with a strong liver, Chinese medicine often uses some herbs to strengthen the spleen and dispel dampness, such as Chinese yam, lotus seed, gourd seed, etc.
For some patients with qi deficiency, medicinal herbs such as Pseudostellaria stellaria are sometimes added.
However, the use of these herbs needs to be carried out according to the principles of TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment.
It should be reminded here that in the process of diarrhea liver fire, the use of drugs that are too bitter cold should be avoided, because the bitter cold nature may cause damage to the spleen and stomach.
[Special Notice]:Traditional Chinese medicine focuses on treating symptoms according to syndrome differentiation. If you have symptoms such as dry mouth and bitter mouth, fatigue, loss of appetite, bloating and abdominal pain, insomnia and dreams, irritability, white and greasy tongue, obvious tooth marks, or suffer from liver cysts, nodules, gallstones, fatty liver, liver cirrhosis and other diseases, you can scan the following *** to fill in your questions and symptoms, and we will help you with syndrome differentiation and compatibility**.
