Let's take a look at the manifestations of Liver Fire Taiwang:
The first point is the manifestation of facial symptoms. When the liver fire is vigorous, the patient will feel hot head and flush, which often appears red, and inexplicably often appears irritable and easily excited negative emotions, which has a great impact on the patient's own health and the surrounding patients, and the mouth will often be very bitter and the tongue is red.
The second point is that the body is emaciated. For patients, when the liver fire is vigorous, they feel that the body is slowly becoming emaciated, because there is no appetite at this time, and the appetite is constantly decreasing. At the same time, there is a sudden dizziness and dizziness, and the feeling of weakness is accompanied by yellow urine and dry stool, which is very unfavorable for the patient.
The third point, coughing.
Cough is typical in a hot liver, and the patient will feel that he has produced phlegm, or when he coughs it up, it causes pain in the ribs, and the throat is dry and painful.
Fourth, stomach pain. After the patient is sick, it will cause great damage to the stomach, the stomach will be painful, in severe cases, it will feel like a fire, like to eat some cold food, and there will be heartburn or acid reflux, the mouth is very bitter, and there will be blood in the stool.
Fifth, heavy menstrual flow. When there is a strong liver fire, it is obvious that the menstrual content will increase or the menstrual time will increase, and the color will be bright red or purple-black, and there will be a lot of bruises.
"The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon" records that "the real must be seen, and the virtual must be lowered". Experts explain that many real and deficient diseases on the body will have concave or convex changes on the acupuncture points.
When our body is in a state of deficiency, the corresponding acupuncture points often appear "concave", just like when the groundwater is insufficient, the ground will collapse.
When our body's qi and blood are too excited, and we are in a real state such as fire, the corresponding acupuncture points often appear "convex", just like the violent activity of underground lava, forming volcanic packs and towering high.
One of the characteristics of Liver Huowang is the Liver Yu acupoint. The liver Yu acupoint is in the back, and the back of healthy people is flat, and the back of people with a strong liver fire may have a bulge.
When there is a bulge in the liver Yu acupoint, it usually indicates that there is a problem of liver fire, which is often accompanied by symptoms such as pain in the flanks of both ribs, irritability, redness, swelling and pain, and blurred vision.
In addition to the use of medication, the home remedy with fast effect and no side effects is cupping. Pulling a pot on the liver Yu acupoint can soothe the liver and bladder and regulate qi and eyes.
The lower corner of the scapula is flat against the seventh thoracic vertebra, count down two vertebrae, and open 1.5 inches under the spinous process of the ninth thoracic vertebra is the liver Yu acupoint.
【Cupping time】According to the individual's physique, choose the time to stay cupping, generally no more than 15 minutes, the elderly have thin skin, and the cupping time should be shorter.

The can print is purple and black, indicating that there is stasis in the body
If the water is printed in the can, it may be that the body is wet or the cupping has been too long.
