People take the liver as their innate nature, and nourishing the liver is a lifelong thing!
The liver is not only the largest detoxification organ in the human body, but also nourishes all systems in the body; If the liver toxin is clear, you can be clean and not blemised;
When the liver and blood are nourished, you can have bright eyes, good complexion, and stay young without premature aging; When the liver qi is smooth, you can be in a good mood.
If you want to know if your liver is good or not, whether you need to be conditioned, just look at your sleep!
Because the liver hides the soul, and the liver and blood are deficient, the soul is not hidden; What is a soul? The soul is the spirit. It means that when the liver and blood are deficient, people's spirit is restless, that is, the state of soul restlessness, and the mind is restless, so naturally they can't sleep steadily.
Only when people are asleep, the blood of the whole body will flow back into the liver, hidden in the liver, and people who do not sleep well will eventually have liver and blood deficiency!
To put it simply, liver and blood deficiency and poor sleep are a dead knot of mutual cause and effect, which is as difficult to solve as the chicken or the egg!
If you have any of the following sleep problems, it's time for you to take care of your liver!
People who wake up at 1-3 a.m. have a hot liver
1-3 o'clock in the morning is the time of the Yin and Liver meridians, and people who wake up during this time are mostly related to excessive liver fire, the difference between this and liver and blood deficiency is that they can continue to sleep after waking up, but they feel half-asleep and half-awake, and they are not stable in sleep;
If the liver fire is too vigorous, if the liver is not cleared in time, it will also lead to liver blood deficiency for a long time; Blood cannot nourish the liver, which in turn leads to excessive liver qi, liver fire is more vigorous, and then more serious sleep problems occur;
Difficulty falling asleep, waking up easily, dreaming
When the heart and liver are nourished by sufficient blood, the human body can enter deep sleep; Only when the liver blood is sufficient can the blood flow and function of various viscera tissues and organs be regulated;
When the liver blood is insufficient, the heart and blood are deficient, and the heart and blood are deficient; In addition, liver blood deficiency and liver fire are vigorous, disturbing the mind, appearing: difficulty falling asleep, insomnia, or easy to wake up after falling asleep, dreaming, grinding teeth and talking in dreams, and when you get up from sleep, you still feel tired, and you don't have that kind of refreshed and energetic state.
I wake up at the end of the morning, and when I wake up, I can't sleep
Generally speaking, when you go to bed late at night, you will wake up later in the morning. But people with insufficient liver blood, no matter how late they slept at night, woke up at that point in the morning, but they didn't sleep enough and didn't rest well. I wanted to sleep more to make up for my sleep, but I couldn't sleep.
In addition to poor sleep, people with liver and blood deficiency usually will:
Eyes often feel dry and dizzy.
The liver is open to the eyes, and the eyes can see due to the nourishment of liver blood, and the lack of liver blood will cause dry eyes, blurred vision, dull vision, decreased vision, tears in the wind, etc.; The fluid of the liver is tears, and the lack of blood in the liver will reduce the secretion of tears.
I often feel irritable and can't help but get angry, which is most obvious before menstruation.
The main excretion of the liver has the functions of dredging and smoothing the qi of the whole body, promoting the infusion of sperm and blood, controlling the rise and fall of spleen and stomach qi, the secretion and excretion of bile, and regulating emotions.
If the liver blood is insufficient, the liver will not be smooth, and symptoms such as irritability, headache and irritability, weakness of the spleen and stomach, indigestion, abdominal distention, diarrhea, dry mouth and bitter mouth will appear.
Poor complexion, poor memory, difficulty concentrating, hair loss.
The liver and blood are insufficient, and they cannot be honored on the head and face, so the complexion is pale and yellowish, the complexion is pale and blue, the memory is poor, the mind is in a trance, and it is easy to be dizzy and mentally exhausted. In addition to the hair as blood, the liver blood is not enough to nourish the hair;
Menstrual bleeding is light and light.
The liver blood is insufficient, and the sea of blood is empty, so the menstrual flow is small, the color is light, and even inexhaustible, and even amenorrhea.
Prone to cramps. For example, facial spasms, calf cramps, involuntary movement of hands and feet, easy to sprain. When the liver blood nourishes the tendons and veins is insufficient, the blood does not honor the tendons, and cramps will occur.
Nails have obvious vertical lines that break easily.
In addition to the claws for tendons, the liver blood is insufficient, and the tendons cannot be honored, and the claw nails will be dry and brittle, rough textures or white spots will appear on the nails, and the nails will be dull.
All these questions are telling you that the body's liver blood is insufficient, and the more symptoms that are met, the worse the liver blood deficiency is!
Liver blood can only be nourished by sleeping at night, and this nourishment cannot be replaced by any food, medicine, or health care products. If you don't sleep at 23 p.m. and 3 a.m., no matter what you eat, it's useless. Only by sleeping well and with the conditioning of dietary therapy, can the liver and blood really be replenished.
In particular, I can't stay up late to write plans, watch *** dramas, and play games, it hurts the liver and blood if I use my eyes too much, and I stay up late to watch it, and the loss of liver and blood is especially serious.
It is best not to eat supper or drink alcohol before going to bed, which will increase the burden on the liver to detoxify, and the liver and blood will not be well nourished!
The best time to sleep is from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., the elderly can be earlier, 9 p.m. to 5 a.m., children are best from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m., even if they can't, the latest can not exceed 23 p.m., if you must stay up late, stay up in the middle of the night, after 3 a.m.
Quit staying up late, and we can take good care of our liver; But we can't directly replenish the liver when we come up, because there are a lot of garbage toxins in our liver, and we have to clean it up first and then replenish it;
It's like if we want to add new furniture to our home, do we have to do a big cleaning first and throw away the things we don't want? As the saying goes, if the old doesn't go, the new won't come!
The same is true for nourishing the liver, first clean up the gas poison, fire poison, and damp heat poison in the liver and then replenish it, especially for people who are often angry, unhappy, stressed, nervous and anxious!
Negative emotions will make the liver qi depressed, always feel that there is a breath of qi blocked in the chest, there is a feeling of holding breath, and there will be swelling and pain in the breasts, lower abdomen, and chest and ribs;
If your liver is depressed and qi stagnation cannot be dredged in time, the qi will turn into fire after a long time, and it will become a term that we often hear every day - liver fire is vigorous, making your head swollen and painful, dizzy, red eyes, irritable temper, and stuffy body;
The five elements of traditional Chinese medicine believe that wood makes fire, the liver belongs to wood, and the heart belongs to fire, and when the liver fire is prosperous, the heart fire will also burn, so the sleep will be even worse;
Moreover, the gas poison and fire poison in your liver have been unclear for a long time, which will inevitably lead to spleen deficiency, because the liver restricts the spleen; The spleen mainly transports water, and when the spleen is deficient, it will produce dampness and phlegm; Dampness will in turn entrench in the liver meridian; If it doesn't go away for a long time, it will turn into heat and become damp heat, making you uglier and uglier the longer you go, and your personal charm will be greatly reduced:
1.The black eyes are yellow, the upper eyelids are often swollen, and the eye droppings are wet and numerous.
2.**Greasy, coarse pores, acne and sores, and spots on the face.
3.Fatigue, sticky stool, poor appetite, bloating, bitter mouth, and yellow urine.
And because the liver meridian passes through ** when it goes down, the dampness and heat in the liver meridian will definitely invade along the liver meridian, providing a hotbed for bacteria, diseases and insects;
What's more serious is that the dampness and heat in the liver meridian will not dissipate for a long time, and phlegm will be formed, especially for people who like to stay up late, drink and socialize, and eat greasy.
Clearing the liver and regulating qi is the top priority of liver cleansing
The most important part of clearing the liver is to soothe the liver and regulate qi, and once the liver qi is passed, the gas poison, fire poison, and damp heat poison will also be dispersed. It is recommended that you usually push the liver meridian more, which can soothe the liver and regulate qi, and clear the liver toxins;
Before going to bed at night, use the palm of your hand to push down from the armpit, push to both sides of the lower abdomen, and repeat the push for 3 minutes; Then push from the base of the thigh, along the inner thigh to near the knee, and push the position of this liver meridian 300 times.
It is best to use it after pushing the liverBupleurum soup to soak the feet.
Bupleurum chinensis, a member of the top-grade food and medicine in the "Shennong's Materia Medica", is a natural treasure material that can relieve depression and relieve the liver when eaten. In addition, as stated in "Lü's Spring and Autumn Period": "The beauty of vegetables is the cloud of Huayang." Among them, this "Yun" is produced in Huayang's Bupleurum, according to legend, this "Huayang Yun" can also be lightweight, bright eyes, and dissipate the depression of the past after a long time.
Of course, in addition to oral administration, Bupleurum has another brilliant feature, that is, it can also be added for external use, such as Bupleurum with tangerine peel, it can relieve greasy and disperse depression, such as with Sichuan Qiong, it can be used to activate qi and blood, if it is accompanied by incense, then Bupleurum soothes the liver to a higher level, if it is equipped with peony, it can dispel blood stasis and activate blood, if it is accompanied by licorice, it can be replenished in the void and reality.
And here, it is especially recommended that you can follow the recipe, grab some bupleurum and then soak your feet with Chuanqiong, incense, peony, licorice or tangerine peel, if you are more depressed liver, then you can match more incense, if it is qi stagnation and blood stasis, then for a long time with Chuanqiong or peony, of course, how to match it depends on the individual.
But if you can't judge, or you are really weak, then it is recommended to try our family's Bupleurum foot soaking bag, although it is said to be a foot soaking bag, but the materials used are strictly in accordance with the edible level.
And compared with the private to grasp the drug ratio, our family foot soaking bag is more with reference to the experience and summary of the past dynasties, and then after scientific proportioning and analysis, this is polished out of this edible level of health Bupleurum foot soaking bag, sometimes when you get home from work suddenly feel liver depression, then you don't have to hold it, pick up a bag of Chai Hu bag, let it embrace with hot water, warm a pot of soaking, and in an instant the whole person's spirit seems to have recovered to the sunshine of childhood.
You can often drink some tea that soothes the liver and regulates qi, such as roses, tortoiseshell flowers, bergamot, peppermint, yueji and the like; If you don't know how to match it!
We all know that the liver hides blood, and the liver needs abundant blood to nourish it, so as to give full play to the function of the liver, it can be said that liver blood is the material basis of the liver;
And the liver and kidney are homologous, the essence and blood are homologous, and the kidney essence can also be supplemented to the liver and blood!
Medicinal therapy is not as good as dietary therapy, tonifying the liver and kidney is not a matter of one or two days, because you have to consume it every day, so the liver and kidney are the first choice of dietary therapy, it is recommended that you often eat some mulberry, "Chinese Pharmacopoeia" records it: tonifying the liver, benefiting the kidney, extinguishing wind, and nourishing liquid.
Finally, I want to say that a liver tonic is a big coffee, all the recipes for liver tonic and sleep aid are inseparable from it, that is, sour jujube kernels!
Sour into the liver, sour jujube kernel taste sour, first-class liver nourishment; The Chinese Pharmacopoeia records that it tonics the liver, calms the heart, absorbs sweat, and produces Jin. It is used for insomnia, palpitations and dreams, body weakness and sweating, and thirst.
The above ingredients can usually be used to boil water to make tea, but I think it can be used to boil the paste to exert its nourishing power, and after a long time of boiling, the essence is refined layer by layer.
We have a sour jujube kernel paste, which is composed of sour jujube kernels, longan, lily, lotus seeds, mulberries, poria cocos, red dates, maltose, and honey.
Use sour jujube kernels to nourish the liver, calm the heart and calm the nerves, and also match the lilies that nourish the yin and moisten the lungs, clear the heart and calm the nerves;
lotus seeds that nourish the heart and calm the nerves, strengthen the spleen and kidneys; Help you clear your heart; Then use Poria cocos to dispel dampness and strengthen the spleen, calm the heart and calm the nerves;
Longan and jujube that nourish the heart and calm the nerves, nourish the blood and spleen; Help you nourish your heart and spleen;
mulberries that nourish yin and nourish blood; It helps you replenish the liver and kidneys, replenishes qi and blood, and can make up for the loss of qi and blood from staying up late.
Before, my friends thought it was sweeter, so we made a reduced sugar version, which was thicker than before, that is, the density of each spoonful increased.
