Faced with the trend and questions of detoxification, how does Chinese medicine act? TCM believes that toxins can be found in all five organs, and that organs that have accumulated toxins leave traces on the surface of the body. Now let’s learn how to find where toxins are hiding and how to get rid of them in the easiest and most effective way. What are the Five Organs of Toxicity? In Chinese medicine, there are many toxins in our body. All substances that cannot be excreted in time and have adverse effects on our body and mind can be called “toxins”, such as blood stasis, phlegm and dampness, cold, food accumulation, qi depression, and fire. When these toxins accumulate in the five viscera, they accelerate the aging of the five viscera, and then the skin, bones, muscles, and nerves that are fed by the five viscera will also age with them. Although toxins are deeply hidden, they still leave traces on the surface of the body, and different looks represent where the toxins are hidden. Now, we have to find out where the toxins are hiding and get them out of the body as soon as possible. A, if the liver has toxins manifested in 1, the surface of the nail has a raised prism, or downward depression. The Chinese medicine believes that “the liver is the main tendon”, the nails are part of the “tendon”, so when toxins accumulate in the liver, there will be obvious signals on the nails. 2, breast hyperplasia, pre-menstrual breast swelling and pain increased significantly. The mammary gland is a key point on the route of the liver meridian. Once there is “poison” in the liver meridian, breast enlargement will occur, especially when the menstrual blood is about to be discharged, it will become swollen and painful due to the abundance of qi and blood. 3, emotions easily depressed. The liver is the organ that regulates emotions in the body. Once the toxins in the liver are not discharged in time, blocking the flow of Qi, there will be obvious bad emotions. 4, migraine, acne on both sides of the face, and menstrual cramps. The two sides of the face and the abdomen are the “acre of land” of the liver meridian and its partner, the bile meridian, and once the liver is not detoxified, its own backyard will catch fire first.

Compared to men who never cry, women live longer, which can not be said to have a relationship with tears. Chinese medicine has long had this understanding, and also confirmed by Western medicine.

For those who are “happy-go-lucky”, watching a sad movie on a weekend afternoon and letting the tears flow with the plot is also an active way of detoxification.
