Liver poison accumulates in the body
Changeable mood, easily irritable

How do I know if I have a bad liver? In addition to spots, acne, obesity, if the following signals appear, it means that there is a real problem with the liver's metabolic function, which means that the liver is "calling for help" and must not be ignored.
"The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine" also says that "the liver opens its orifices in the eyes". Whether the liver excretes toxins smoothly depends on these 4 points:
① Dry skin and dull eyes
Poor liver metabolism leads to vertical lines on nails, dry skin, and dry hair.
② It is easy to fall asleep between 1-3 o'clock at night
Liver fire is prosperous, easy to be irritable, dreamy, and sleep well. Staying up all night with dry eyes is also because blood deficiency cannot hide.
③ Easily impatient and irritable
Especially when girls are on their period, they are more prone to irritability when their liver blood is insufficient and their air is floating.
④ Splitting headache after drunkenness
The liver cannot clear the acetaldehyde in alcohol, resulting in dizziness, dry mouth, alcoholic liver and other problems.
The liver is a pain-free organ. If you don’t pay attention to the body’s “call for help” signals, plus smoking, drinking, staying up late, etc., once a problem occurs, it is likely to be in the late stage!
According to statistics, about 330,000 people die of liver disease in China every year, accounting for 33.3% of the global death toll! Almost every 1 minute, one person dies of liver disease, which is a veritable "liver disease country".
Liver nourishing = nourishing life!
In daily life, factors such as unreasonable dietary structure, bad eating habits, alcoholism, more static and less active lifestyle, and malnutrition may all cause fatty liver, and we need to pay attention. Is there some good way to let the common people test whether they have fatty liver at home?
"Great Medicine Materia Medica" invited Director Feng Bo of Peking University People's Hospital to tell everyone how to self-test fatty liver!
Fatty liver is more likely to occur in obese people and the so-called metabolic syndrome, that is, the three-high population. Simply put, the incidence of fatty liver is related to body mass index.
Body mass index = weight (kg) / height (m) squared
When it comes to fatty liver, in addition to obesity and excessive drinking, taking medicines that are not prescribed by a doctor may also cause fatty liver.
Chinese medicine believes that the liver stores blood and is an important organ for expelling toxins in the human body. If the liver is deficient, it will lead to lesions in various parts of the body, because the five zang-organs and six fu-organs are connected, and once a problem occurs in one of the body's zang-organs, other zang-organs are likely to have problems as well. So can you ignore the importance of the liver? Therefore, the key to regulating the liver lies in nourishing qi and blood, regulating yin and yang, and pacifying the five internal organs.
It is precisely because of the neglect of the importance of the liver that many people with liver diseases have neglected liver conditioning for a long time, causing damage to liver function and even causing various diseases.
The culture of Chinese medicine is broad and profound. From the perspective of Chinese medicine, how should we regulate the liver? In fact, the ancestors have long given the formula for conditioning the liver. Let's start with a few ingredients in the recipe~
- Ingredients: Apricot

Li Shizhen said in "Compendium of Materia Medica":
Sweet, neutral in nature, non-toxic, quenching thirst and annoyance
Remove the heat on the diaphragm, moisten the five internal organs,
Facilitates urination and defecation, the same as honey
From this it can be seen that
Li Shizhen attaches importance to this medicinal use
It is also often used as the main medicine in conditioning the liver by medical scientists of the past dynasties.
Citrus aurantium has a very good effect on conditioning the liver and expelling toxins
But long-term use of citrus tree alone is not good for the stomach
Requires other ingredients to be prepared

These 20 kinds of ingredients have their own benefits. When used together according to the recipe, they can fully play the role of reconciling and nourishing the liver.
