What are the herbs for liver detoxification

The main Chinese herbs for dispersing the liver include Buddha’s Hands, Chai Hu, Yu Jin and Xiang Fu. 1. Buddha’s hand: it has the effects of dispersing the liver and relieving depression (treating depression by unblocking the liver’s qi), regulating qi and neutralizing the middle (regulating the qi of the spleen and stomach to make the functions of the spleen and stomach smooth), and drying up dampness and resolving phlegm (removing phlegm in the body by drying up dampness with medicines). This drug is mainly used in the treatment of distension and pain in the chest and ribs (a collective term for the chest and ribcage area), plumpness in the epigastrium (abdomen) (distended and uncomfortable stomach), vomiting with bad appetite and coughing caused by liver depression and stagnation of qi (poor transportation of qi and blood in the liver and depression) and disharmony of the liver and stomach (incongruence of the ascending liver and descending stomach functions). This medicine is not suitable for those who have heat in yin deficiency and no stagnation in qi deficiency. 2. Bupleurum Chinense: It has the efficacy of relieving exterior fever, dredging the liver, relieving depression and elevating Yang Qi, and is used in the treatment of exterior fever, Shaoyang syndrome, liver depression and stagnation of Qi, Qi deficiency, and prolapse of organs and other diseases. The adverse effects of this drug are not clear, but it is contraindicated for people with yin deficiency and fire (deficiency of yin and essence in the body, and hyperactive deficiency and fire) and those with qi upward reversal. 3. Uljin: It has the efficacy of activating blood circulation and relieving pain (relieving pain by removing blood stasis), promoting qi circulation and relieving depression, clearing the heart and cooling the blood, inducing diuresis in the gallbladder and eliminating jaundice (removing bile ducts and eliminating jaundice), and it is used as the main treatment for conditions such as stagnation of qi and blood stasis, dizziness in febrile illnesses (dazedness of the mind due to exuberance of heat and evil), epilepsy with phlegm closure, vomiting of blood and epistaxis, and other diseases. When using this drug, it should be noted that pregnant women, blood loss due to yin deficiency, and those without qi stagnation and blood stasis should avoid taking it. If necessary, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital for consultation and treatment under the guidance of a professional physician for evidence-based treatment.
