According to Chinese medicine, heaven and man correspond to each other, and the five organs of the human body also correspond to the five seasons of nature. According to the theory of the five elements, spring is wood, and the liver of the five organs of the human body also belongs to wood, so the spring qi through the liver, spring is also the most easy to make the liver strong. First, how do we understand that the liver belongs to “wood”? The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine” recorded: “wood is said to be straight” wood, actually refers to the growth of trees for the form of branches and trunks straight, upward to the periphery of the stretch, there is a growth, rise, stripes and so on the characteristics of the Shu. Chinese medicine believes that the liver has a dredging, unclogging the body’s qi, so that it passes and not stagnant, scattered and not depressed role. We summarize the main drainage and blood storage, its qi rising, like the organization and evil depression. This is a very important function of the liver called the liver main drainage. The function of the liver is mainly manifested in five aspects: regulating qi, regulating emotions and moods, promoting digestion in the spleen and stomach, promoting the operation of the blood and water transfer, and regulating reproductive functions. So, how to take better care of the liver in spring? What should we do when we are prone to emotional boredom, fire and other manifestations of liver depression in spring? Second, the performance of liver qi stagnation Recent clinic has many patients have the symptom of bitter mouth. Bitter mouth is a common symptom in spring. Some people have a bitter mouth due to fire, and the symptom of bitter mouth can be improved by taking a good rest. Others, the mouth for a long time with a bitter feeling, brushing teeth, eat sweet things after the symptoms have not improved, this situation may be some of the early signs of disease. We all know that bile is bitter, Chinese medicine believes that the liver and gallbladder are related to each other, and the two have a close relationship. The liver is the main excretory, with the role of maintaining the whole body’s qi unobstructed and unimpeded. We have already talked about this at the beginning. Once the liver is out of circulation, it will lead to bile not being able to be excreted normally, and the bitter taste of bile will be reversed, resulting in the symptom of bitter mouth. The symptoms of bitter mouth, accompanied by pain in the two hypochondriums, are often related to the liver. The liver’s function as a regulator not only affects the excretion of bile, but also influences the flow of qi throughout the body. Qi in the human body, should run smoothly. If the liver loses its detachment, the qi will be stagnant in the body, forming Liver Depression. The most notable feature of people with liver depression is that they are short-tempered and irritable. Women even experience disturbances in menstruation. If the symptoms of Liver Depression are not taken seriously, the condition will continue to develop. Liver and spleen and stomach belong to the middle jiao, liver qi stagnation will affect the normal operation of the middle jiao qi, resulting in liver qi transverse invasion of the spleen and stomach, affecting the digestion and absorption of the spleen and stomach. So long-term liver depression may develop into liver depression and spleen deficiency. So what kind of symptoms will appear? Third, the spring maintenance of the liver of the three recommendations 1, happy mood is liver Chinese medicine believes that spring is the liver, grass and trees sprout in the spring, the liver and gallbladder meridians in the spring is the most active. At this time, it is easy to appear that the liver is not as good as or too much, resulting in dry and itchy eyes, loss of appetite, short temper. Therefore, spring should pay attention to the liver, liver protection. Here to recommend tea formula – liver smooth tea, suitable for anger, spleen and stomach bloating, loss of appetite, dry eyes crowd. 2, eat a light diet is to protect the liver, eat more sweet, less acid Tang Dynasty famous doctor Sun Simiao said: “Spring should save the acid, increase sweet, in order to nourish the spleen.” Means that when spring comes, people should eat less sour food, eat more sweet diet, the benefit of doing so is to replenish the human body spleen and stomach qi. China’s medical opinion, the spleen and stomach is the foundation of the day, is the source of the body’s qi and blood, the spleen and stomach qi healthy, people can prolong life. But spring for the liver when the order, according to the theory of Chinese medicine, the liver is wood, the spleen is earth, wood and earth, i.e., the liver can hurt the spleen, affecting the spleen’s digestion and absorption function. Chinese medicine also believes that the five flavors into the five organs, such as sour into the liver, sweet into the spleen, salty into the kidneys, etc., so if you eat more acidic food, will strengthen the function of the liver, so that the liver is already on the high side of the liver more vigorous, which can hurt the spleen and stomach qi. In view of this, people should eat less sour food in the spring to prevent liver qi from being too exuberant. The sweet food into the spleen, can tonify the spleen qi, so you can eat a little more, such as jujube, yam, potpourri and so on. Diet should be light from the winter cream and thick flavor change to clear temperature and bland, the diet should be warm, avoid cold. In animal food, should eat less fatty meat and other high-fat food, because greasy food after eating easy to produce a sense of satiety, the body will also produce fatigue. People with cold stomach can often eat some ginger to drive away the cold and warm the stomach; people with asthma, you can take some ginger and honey water to moisturize the dryness and calm the asthma; people with chronic bronchitis should abstain from eating or eat less spicy food. Other people should not eat more spicy hot stimulating food, so as not to help fire injury. 3, adhere to the exercise when liver protection Here to teach you a small qigong method hush word work flat liver qi.
