The liver is the body's largest detoxification organ
From the perspective of modern medicine, the liver is the largest detoxification organ of the human body, and our digestion, metabolism, excretion, detoxification and immunity and other links need the participation of the liver;
From Chinese medicine, the main function of the liver is to be responsible for "drainage", that is, dredging, channeling; Venting, that is, venting, divergence. That is, the dredge ventilator ensures that the qi and blood of the whole body run smoothly and do not stagnate; People with good liver, less garbage toxins, smooth discharge, bad liver, more liver toxicity!
But the liver of modern girls is the most easily injured, and Luo Dalun, a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, also said in his book "Three Steps to Women's Health":
The vast majority of women's diseases are caused by liver qi stagnation, the reason is stress, love to be angry, always hold back, and naturally hold out the disease after a long time.
People who have been in a state of quarrel, cold war, forbearance, depression, tension, anxiety, entanglement, etc. for a long time, the drainage function of the liver is not good, the ability to detoxify and detoxify becomes worse, and various problems will come out one after another!
There are 8 major manifestations of liver toxicity in women, and the last one is the most dangerous
1. After getting up, dry mouth, bitter mouth, bad breath, easy mouth ulcers
If the liver is depressed for a long time, it will turn into a fire, resulting in a hot liver fire, and the fiery poison goes up, so the mouth is hot.
2. Often bloated and farting
Liver qi blockage, which will affect the qi machine of the spleen and stomach; From modern medicine, the liver is not good, the secretion of digestive enzymes and bile is not enough, the digestion and decomposition of food is not good, so indigestion and gas production increase.
3. Poor appetite, nausea and vomiting, abnormal stool
The liver is the largest digestive gland in the human body, and if the liver is not good, it is easy to lose appetite, nausea, vomiting, etc., and the stool is abnormal;
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the liver and spleen, the spleen and stomach mobilization ability become poor, and the digestion and absorption function is also poor; Moreover, the liver communicates with the large intestine, and the functional movement of the large intestine also depends on the drainage of liver qi, and people with poor liver are prone to constipation, stool stickiness, diarrhea, etc.
4. Bad mood, breast or chest rib swelling
Liver main sentiment, liver qi likes to adjust to comfort, like sulking, unhappy, stressed, nervous and anxious, liver qi will be depressed, in turn make the mood more bad; If it is knotted in the chest and ribs, it will cause chest rib swelling, breast tenderness, and breast nodules.
5. Poor sleep, slow sleep, easy to wake up in the middle of the night
The liver hides the soul, and the blood returns to the liver when people lie down, and the fiery poison of the liver will make it difficult for us to fall asleep, and it is easy to wake up at 1~3 a.m.; Moreover, the fiery poison of the liver is more, which will consume liver blood deficiency, and finally lead to insomnia, early awakening, and dreams.
6. Yellowing of the face or eyes
Modern medicine believes that when liver toxicity begins to accumulate, the liver's blood supply capacity weakens rapidly, and bilirubin will accumulate in the blood, making the face and eyes dull and gradually yellow;
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the liver is open to the eyes, the eyes are the window of the liver, the liver is hot, the eyes are dry and itchy, the eyes are red and bloodshot, and the vision is blurred: if the liver blood is insufficient, the face is dull and yellow, the eyes are dry, the eyes are yellow, and the eyes are godless!
7. Greasy skin, frequent acne, acne, acne, eczema, blisters, etc
The liver is the center of metabolic hormones, and when liver toxicity is further stagnated, it will cause hormone imbalance, endocrine disorders, and acne, acne, and even acne will begin to appear on the face;
8. The face is black, the lips are purple, and there are melasma
Long-term neglect of the liver leads to Qi stasis and blood stasis, coagulation into blood stasis, blood stasis on the face, toxins can not be discharged in time, the skin will turn dark, melasma, pigmentation, small red spots, etc.
Once blood stasis spots, pay special attention to nourishing the liver, blood stasis on the face is only spots, stasis in the body will become a disease, girls should be extra vigilant about breast, uterus, menstruation and other problems!
According to clinical statistics:
Women with melasma on the face account for 71% of adult women, and in the population with melasma, people aged 18~35 account for more than 48%, and 80% of people suffer from breast lumps, uterine fibroids, thyroid nodules, menstrual irregularities, gynecological inflammation, liver disease, chronic alcoholism and other one or more diseases.
Because these places where the problem is the liver meridian passes, please see the following liver meridian patrol diagram, the liver meridian starts from the thumb of the foot, from the bottom up around the genitals to the lower abdomen (uterus), then through the chest and breasts, to the neck thyroid, and then to the head and face
