Formation of liver fire
One of the types of liver fire refers to the pathological phenomenon of hyperhepatic activity. It is caused by liver loss and discharge, qi depression and fire or hepatic heat overabundance, and it is also related to excessive emotional excitement.
Clinically, symptoms such as redness, irritability, headache, hypochondriac pain, bitter mouth, vomiting blood, hemoptysis, and pulse count are more common.
The exuberance of liver fire is mainly caused by irregular life and depressed mood.
Taoist medicine has the saying that "the liver is the main eye", so the exuberance of the liver fire is often manifested by some eye symptoms, such as: blurred vision, excessive eye discharge, red eyes, dry eyes, tinnitus, etc.
"Fire" is one of the six external evils "wind, cold, heat, dampness, dryness, and fire", which causes the "evil energy" of the human body due to external climate change.
When the anger is high, it will cause symptoms such as dry mouth, bad breath, pimples, swollen and painful gums, itchy skin, constipation, and bleeding hemorrhoids.

When it comes to liver fire, when it comes to anger, we have to mention the wonderful acupuncture point of Taichong.
Some people compare the "Taichong acupoint" to the human body's punching bag, because it is the original acupoint and acupoint of the liver meridian, and the fire acupoint of the liver meridian, which can dissipate the liver qi and liver fire.
Therefore, by kneading the "Taichong acupoint", the stagnant qi of the human body can be flushed out to the greatest extent.
In other words, the personality and function of the liver can be found in the Taichong acupoint.
