The fart is the mirror of the liver, and the quality of the liver can be known from the condition of the fart. According to TCM, if the liver function is not good, it will lead to frequent farting, which is a signal that the liver is asking for help, rather than a simple detoxification process.
Why does poor liver function lead to fart?
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the liver is the main drain, which has the effect of regulating the qi of the whole body. The liver belongs to the wood in the five elements, and the spleen belongs to the soil, once the liver qi is stagnant, the liver wood restrains the spleen and soil, which will affect the digestive function of the spleen. Undigested food ferments to produce hot gas, as well as undesirable turbidity. When these gases are expelled from the body, they turn into one fart after another, and they often have a heavier odor.
In addition to fart, poor liver function can also cause the following phenomena:
Normally, urine should be pale yellow, but liver problems can cause urine to become darker and yellowish, and this is due to the accumulation of toxins in the body that cannot be excreted.
Liver dysfunction leads to decreased blood clotting function, most commonly bleeding gums or nasal bleeding. The body's resistance and immunity will also decrease, which can easily lead to frequent infections.
People with a bad liver emit body odor. If you didn't have a bad smell before, but you have recently developed an unusual odor, you need to be aware that the liver may be damaged.
If there are more blackheads on the nose, it means that liver function is impaired, leading to endocrine disorders, excessive oil production, which in turn leads to enlarged pores.
If liver function is not good, the following measures can be taken:
1. 1 Chinese patent medicine
If you have symptoms such as liver qi stagnation, swelling pain caused by liver and spleen disharmony, dry mouth and bitter mouth, loss of appetite, constipation or diarrhea, you can try to take Chai Hu Shu Liver Pills. The drug has the effect of soothing the liver and regulating qi, which can relieve the gastrointestinal discomfort caused by liver qi stagnation.
2. Often drink chrysanthemum cassia wolfberry tea
This tea is composed of chrysanthemum, cassia, honeysuckle, wolfberry, licorice and osmanthus, which can play a role in clearing liver fire, detoxifying liver toxins, and soothing liver depression. Chrysanthemum has the effect of flattening the liver and brightening the eyes, clearing heat and detoxifying, cassia has the effect of clearing heat and brightening the eyes, moistening the intestines and laxative, and wolfberry nourishing the liver and kidneys, benefiting the essence and brightening the eyes.
It should be noted that the use of drugs should be carried out under the guidance of a professional, and the drugs should not be used on their own.
3. Soak lemon in water
Lemon is very sour, but it is used to soak in water to drink, as long as you don't put too much at one time, it is still very delicious, and people with bad liver can drink some. Because in the view of traditional Chinese medicine, when the sour taste enters the liver, drinking some lemonade appropriately will help reduce liver fire and protect liver cells.
If liver function is not good, the following measures may also be considered:
Adjust your eating habits
Avoid overeating greasy, fried and processed foods and try to choose fresh, light and easily digestible foods. Increase your intake of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and high-quality proteins, such as fish, legumes, and poultry. At the same time, ensuring adequate water intake contributes to the liver's detoxification and excretion functions.
Control alcohol consumption
Alcohol is very damaging to the liver and should be avoided or limited as much as possible. Long-term alcohol consumption can lead to serious problems such as fatty liver, hepatitis, and cirrhosis.
Regular medical check-ups
Liver function tests, including blood tests and ultrasounds, are done regularly, as well as other necessary tests. This helps to detect liver problems early and treat and manage them accordingly.
Control drug use
Some drugs are toxic to the liver, and long-term or excessive use may impair liver function. Use medications as prescribed by your doctor and avoid self-abuse or long-term dependence on medications.
Healthy lifestyle
Maintain an appropriate weight and avoid obesity and excessive fat accumulation. Doing a moderate amount of aerobic exercise, such as walking, running, swimming, etc., helps to promote blood circulation and metabolism, which is good for liver health.
Control stress
Long-term mental stress and stress can have a negative impact on the liver. With proper rest, relaxation, and coping with stress, such as meditation, yoga, breathing exercises, etc., it helps to relieve the burden on the liver.
