Liver-stomach disharmony (disharmony between the ascending functions of the liver and the descending functions of the stomach and internal organs) and spleen-stomach disharmony are both caused by the blockage of qi in the internal organs (obstruction of qi’s functioning), but liver-stomach disharmony has obvious emotional symptoms, while spleen-stomach disharmony does not have obvious emotional symptoms. 1. Liver-stomach disharmony is caused by liver fire (the fire produced by the liver invades the stomach) or liver qi (the liver qi is not smooth and affects the function of the stomach), and is mainly manifested by the obvious emotional symptoms of irritability, accompanied by gastric and epigastric discomforts, distension and burning pain in the abdomen and ribs, dryness of the mouth and bitterness of the mouth, dizziness and tinnitus and poor vision, and other symptoms. 2. Spleen-stomach disharmony is caused by the weakness of the spleen and stomach and the loss of power of transportation and digestion, which is mainly manifested as loss of appetite, abdominal distension and abdominal pain, emaciation, loose stools (thin and unshaped stools), diarrhea and other symptoms, and there is no obvious emotional changes. Those who have the above symptoms should consult a doctor in time and be treated under the guidance of a professional doctor.
