Regarding the liver, "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing" says: The liver is the official of the general, the main drain, and the Litiaoda. The liver can regulate the body's qi, assist in raising and lowering the qi of the spleen and stomach, and improve the level of movement of the spleen and stomach. In addition, from the perspective of the ancients' interpretation of words, the so-called "liver" character is the stem of the moon, where the moon refers to the body, and the stem refers to the shield. The combination of the two is explained that the liver is the organ that guards the human organs. If liver function declines, adverse symptoms will come to the door, and in severe cases, it may lead to a shortened life expectancy.
There are many "bitter" liver problems, and Chinese medicine summarizes 18 manifestations of bad liver.
1. Feeling tired, irritable, anxious and depressed for no reason.
2. Dry eyes or dead fish eyes.
3. The hair loves to be oily, and the face is oily.
4. The stool is sticky and smelly, (not easy to flush out).
5. Indigestion and increase of waist fat.

If you have 2 to 3 of the above symptoms, then you should pay attention to liver nourishment.
Liver all-purpose formula.
Regardless of cold or cold, it kills all liver diseases.
This recipe came out of the "Treatise on Typhoid Fever" written by Zhang Zhongjing in the Han Dynasty, which was composed of peony and licorice.
Peony has a sour taste and cold nature, and has the effect of nourishing blood and nourishing yin, softening the liver and relieving pain; Licorice is sweet in taste and warm in nature, which can strengthen the spleen and invigorate qi and relieve acute pain. These two herbs are matched with each other, which can sour and sweeten, dissolve yin, and reconcile the relationship between the liver and spleen. They work together to nourish the blood and soften the liver, and at the same time, licorice can nourish qi and strengthen the spleen, which embodies the principle of "seeing the disease of the liver, knowing the liver and transmitting the spleen, and first realizing the spleen" in the theory of traditional Chinese medicine.
Peony is an important component in traditional Chinese medicine** for diseases such as hepatitis and liver cirrhosis, among which paeoniflorin is the active ingredient, which can effectively antioxidant and inhibit inflammation, thereby improving liver function indicators. The glycyrrhizic acid in licorice is also an active ingredient that also has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, detoxifying effects and can help improve liver function. Although there are only two kinds of medicinal herbs, they are well-matched and rigorously structured, and are highly respected by later generations of doctors and widely used in clinical practice.
