Perhaps, working late, drinking and socializing, eating and drinking, taking health supplements, dieting and losing weight have long become our habits, but this puts a huge load on the liver. Some people say that the liver is the silent organ, in fact, it will also send some distress signals. 1, dry eyes, sluggish, most of the liver blood is not enough to cause trouble As the saying goes, “the eyes are the windows to the soul”, Chinese medicine believes that the eyes can predict the “liver condition”. How to see? The main thing to look for is the color and clarity of the eyes. Children’s eyes are clear and bright, while middle-aged people are “old and pearly”. Clear and bright eyes, bright and radiant, indicating sufficient qi and blood, full of liver energy; dull eyes, gray and no light is a sign of weakness of qi and blood; dry eyes, heavy eyelids, also indicates a lack of qi and blood; the color of the white of the eyes cloudy, yellow, on behalf of the liver qi and blood deficiency. With the intensification of social competition, people use their eyes more and more intensely and densely, and many people often feel their eyes dry and blurred because they face computers, cell phones and other kinds of electronic products for a long time. In fact, this is a manifestation of eye fatigue. If the eyes are overly fatigued, it will not only have an impact on vision, but also consume liver blood and even cause damage to the liver. In the Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine, it is said that “the liver opens the eyes.” Meaning that dry eyes, astringent eyes, eye fatigue and other problems are closely related to the liver. This is because the liver meridians start from the feet and travel up the inner side of the lower limbs to the abdomen, where they are further connected to the eyes by the inner meridians. The liver, which is hidden deep inside the body, delivers nutrients to the eyes through the meridian channels, so that our eyes will look radiant and flexible. In other words, the liver meridian is connected to the eye system, and only when the liver blood is injected into the eye through the liver meridian can the eye perform its visual function. If the liver blood is not enough or the liver function is not good, our eyes will lose nourishment, appear to be unable to see things, eyes dry, no brightness or even dull and other conditions. In other words, if your eyes are bad, then your liver may also have problems. At the same time, prolonged vision and radiation also laid a hidden danger for the liver health of computer people. If we stare at the book or computer for a long time, excessive use of the eyes, it will cause the “five labors and seven injuries” in the “long vision injury blood”, will make the liver blood consumption is excessive. The liver is rich in blood storage, liver blood is sufficient, the eyes have a clear vision; if the liver blood consumption is excessive, it will make the liver blood is insufficient, the eyes will not get enough liver blood to moisten, there will be dry eyes faint flowers, blurred vision or night blindness and other symptoms. In other words, prolonged vision hurts the liver, and insufficient liver blood in turn affects the eyes, so it is caught in a vicious circle. So we must take good care of our eyes, because if they can’t rest properly, the liver can’t rest properly either. You can eat more pig liver, chicken liver and other animal liver, and also supplement beef, carp, spinach, capers and other vitamin-rich food, you can also drink water with wolfberry and chrysanthemum. We know that wolfberry can nourish the liver and kidney, benefit the essence of the eyes; chrysanthemum can clear liver fire, bright eyes. In fact, this is the famous “wolfberry chrysanthemum tea”. 2, nails easily broken, “crescent” small, beware! You may not have enough qi and blood Did you find your fingernails on the “crescent” became smaller? The nails are not as hard as they used to be, and it’s hard to keep the nails long enough to get a manicure on the weekend, but I didn’t expect them to break after washing two pieces of clothing. The nail wall is also always skin skin, too unattractive to endure the pain to pull off the skin skin, nine times out of ten will also bleed …… people have a half-moon shaped finger nail “small moon” – half-moon marks, is the human body qi blood nutrition is abundant scale table. The liver is in the claws, which means that if the liver blood is sufficient, the inner light will be shown on the nails, that is, the nails are the external manifestation of the body’s health, and the performance of the nails can tell the good or bad of the liver. Generally, it depends on the growth rate, surface color and external shape of the nails. Under normal circumstances, the nails are red, smooth and tough, except for the little finger, which has half-moon marks, this is a healthy and beautiful nail, and is also a manifestation of the liver’s vitality and harmony with yin and yang. If the nails do not grow for a long time, the color is withered, not enough moist, the surface also looks a little pale, thin and brittle, can easily break …… and so on, this is a sign of nail malnutrition, but also indicates that your liver has a problem. The liver is the main tendon in Chinese medicine, and the tendon is the fascia, a tissue that contacts the joints and muscles and is responsible for managing the body’s movement system. The fascia needs to be nourished by liver blood, and if the liver is full of blood, the fascia will be able to keep the body moving properly because it gets enough nourishing fluid. If the fascia has sufficient nutrients, the nails can of course remain healthy and moist. If the liver is empty of Qi and blood, the fascia will lack sufficient nutrients to feed and the body will show some abnormal conditions. There are no half-moon marks on the fingers or only on the thumb, the nails become thin and brittle, or even sunken and deformed, and the color is not rosy enough, so naturally it is not healthy and beautiful. In fact, if the liver has problems, it will not only make the nails unhealthy, but also cause serious health problems. Specifically, the liver blood is not enough to nourish the fascia, people’s hands and feet will easily tremble and numb, sometimes stretching the arms will “crunch”, press a leg may also be cramped. If your nails become easy to break, “crescent” also became smaller, indicating that your liver may have problems, at this time, in addition to the need to supplement calcium, must find ways to maintain the liver to replenish the blood. 3, hypertension patients should pay great attention to their liver health Medical development so far, although there have been many effective ways to treat hypertension, but we still can not ignore the threat of hypertension to life. Especially in recent years, more and more patients suffering from hypertension, we should always pay close attention to the blood pressure of hypertensive patients to maintain the stability of blood pressure. Patients with hypertension need to take antihypertensive drugs for a long time, therefore, the liver and kidney function will be damaged to varying degrees. Problems with liver function can be quite detrimental to the stability of blood pressure. According to Chinese medicine, if the liver function is not good, the wind will attack easily. The “wind” here is not the “wind” in nature, but the “wind” that is closely related to the liver. Specifically, when the liver is damaged, the drainage function does not function properly, and the most direct effect is that the body’s qi and blood do not function properly, and the wind is easily developed. As we know, wind is always wandering, or suddenly rushing to the top of the head, or at once to the internal organs, or quickly run to the limbs, which will always bring people some discomfort. Abnormal blood pressure is a symptom of “wind in the liver”. “Liver wind”, as the name suggests, is like the wind flowing through the body, there is no pattern. Therefore, this kind of disease often comes and goes quickly, which is manifested in blood pressure, that is, blood pressure suddenly rises and suddenly drops, making people feel dizzy, dizzy, dizzy, dark in front of their eyes, unable to see things, and sometimes even coma or even shock. Therefore, in order to maintain the stability of blood pressure and avoid the suffering of “wind disease”, hypertensive patients must take good care of the liver. In addition to ensuring nutrition and a balanced diet, increasing outdoor physical exercise and breathing more fresh air will help speed up the body’s metabolism and enhance the body’s immunity, making people less likely to get sick. Less sickness will naturally take less medication, less medication will naturally be less harmful to the liver. To avoid unstable blood pressure due to cold and hot weather, hypertensive patients can eat more light food, drink more water, do not eat more fried and salty spicy food. In addition, also adhere to take antihypertensive drugs, can not just stop medication. 4, limb weakness, bleeding under the eyes, either liver blood weakness or liver fire excess really not “lazy”, is really do not want to move, as long as lying down do not want to get up. Weekend all day at home, do not want to go out, face not wash, lazy to eat, lazy toilets are lazy …… sleep on a day and night or all weak, like the soul was taken away as well! We all know that the liver is the place where blood is stored, perhaps you can guess that bleeding under the eyes and the liver’s blood collection function has nothing to do with it, then, do you know that the weakness of the limbs is also related to the liver’s blood collection function? Now, let’s explain it in detail. The ancient saying “the liver collects blood” means that the liver has the function of storing blood. In fact, the liver’s blood storage function is not simple. As the body’s blood bank, if it only knows how to store blood, then it will fill up the whole blood bank over time, and when the stock is too full, the blood bank will collapse. Therefore, it also needs to know how to regulate the amount of blood. Both to ensure that the body’s normal activities have sufficient blood nourishment, but also to save part of the blood, in response to the sudden “bleeding” event. The feeling of weakness, fatigue, it seems that the word “tired” can not be used to describe, because the feeling of tired, sufficient rest will be rejuvenated. And when feeling weak, sleeping more may not make up for the lost energy. In fact, this is the result of weak liver blood. When the liver blood is sufficient, all parts of the body can get enough blood to nourish them, so naturally they won’t feel weak. We know that blood alone is difficult to produce energy, fat, vitamins and other essential substances are also stored in the liver, which is perhaps another layer of the meaning of “the liver collects blood”. The ability of the limbs to work properly is also related to the ability of the liver blood to be released properly. Only when the liver blood is full and smoothly transported to the limbs, people can move freely. Otherwise, although there is enough blood, but not transported to other organs of the body, they are not nourished, of course, can not work properly. The liver is the body’s large blood bank. When the body’s demand for blood increases, the liver will release a large amount of blood for the body to use and maintain normal body activity. When activity decreases, blood flows back into the liver. If the liver’s function of regulating the amount of blood is malfunctioning and the liver does not store blood, the body will experience some abnormal bleeding symptoms, one of which is bleeding from the fundus of the eye. Generally speaking, there are many reasons why the liver does not store blood, and fire is one of the most common causes. Too much fire in the body and too much liver fire will force blood to spill out from the blood vessels. In this case, you usually need to take some medicine to clear heat and stop bleeding, such as Bai Mao Root, Sophora, Di Yu, Sheng Di, etc. 5, joint pain, often cramps, in addition to calcium, but also liver and blood What ails people in middle age will come to the door, back pain is used to, not too old but even bending over to tie shoelaces are very difficult. Cervical spondylosis, frozen shoulder also tormented people can not lift the arm, can not lower the head. After dinner there is nothing to do, learn to dance with others can also make the legs cramp. Is it possible that recently there is a calcium deficiency again? People often say that after forty years, “liver failure, tendons can not move”. That is to say, when people reach this age, energy is often much less than before, the body’s essence and blood because of the consumption of activities and reduced, motor function is gradually declining, which is caused by the loss of sufficient essence and blood nourishment of tendons. After the age of forty, the diseases associated with the tendons of the human body will gradually increase, often joint pain, numbness in the hands and feet, back stiffness, easy to cramp, action is not as flexible as before, and sometimes suffer from cervical spondylosis, frozen shoulder, etc.. If these conditions occur in your body, you should consider if there is a problem with your liver. Many middle-aged people are not as energetic as before, back pain, stiff arms and legs are a regular occurrence, cervical spondylosis, lumbar spondylosis also quietly on the body, in fact, not because of getting older, but liver problems. The body will be strong and powerful, and the action will be flexible. According to Chinese medicine, “the liver collects blood and is the master of tendons”, meaning that the ability of the body’s joints to move flexibly depends on the relaxation and contraction of the body’s tendons and fascia. If the tendons are relaxed and stretching, the muscles and joints of the body can move freely. But the prerequisite is that the tendons must be adequately nourished, and the nutrients for the tendons and veins come from the liver. So we can say that if a person’s liver functions well, liver blood is full, the body tendons and ligaments and other tissues to get sufficient moistening, then the tendons will be strong and powerful, the action will be flexible and free. On the contrary, if the liver blood is weak, the tendons will not get enough liver blood to nourish them, and some motor dysfunction will occur. Age is certainly an influential factor in whether a person’s liver is functioning properly or not, but exercise and sports can also effectively improve the condition of the liver. In general, if the liver blood is sufficient, the tendons of the body will be fully nourished. In turn, if we take good care of the tendons and exercise properly, so that the body’s tendons are often kept in a benign state, can it not play a stimulating and promoting role for the liver? Will it slow down the decline of tendon and liver function? The answer is yes. Of course, we say that regular exercise for the liver has a certain health care effect, but if the exercise is excessive, it may also damage the tendons, which will not be worth the loss. 6, yellow face, dry mouth and bitter mouth, the liver is complaining to you As the saying goes, “the sky is yellow with rain, people are yellow with disease”, meaning that the sky is yellow that it is going to rain, people have yellow complexion that health problems. In life, we often see people with yellow faces. Generally speaking, the color of a person’s face is closely related to his or her physical health. Healthy people, the face is rosy and lustrous, then the face is yellow where the problem? In the opinion of Chinese medicine, yellow face is often related to insufficient qi and blood and weak spleen and stomach. But whether it’s qi and blood or spleen and stomach, it’s all related to the liver. Because the liver collects blood, if the liver blood is insufficient, the face will not get enough nourishment and it will be dull. And the work of generating blood needs to be done by the spleen and stomach. If the spleen and stomach are strong and healthy, they can convert the food they consume into qi and blood; otherwise, insufficient generation of qi and blood, and the body’s deficit of both qi and blood, will cause other internal organs to malfunction. Many modern people are under long-term mental stress, irregular life, uncontrolled diet, overtime and late nights, insufficient sleep and rest, and the liver is prone to serious damage. Not only does the face turn yellow, but sometimes in the morning when you wake up you feel dry and bitter, and you can’t drink honey water with a sweet taste, as if bile is flowing out. Chinese medicine believes that bitterness in the mouth is mainly caused by the lack of smooth flow of liver qi. When the liver qi is not clear, the stagnant liver qi will be transformed into liver fire. As we know, a high level of liver fire may affect the normal function of the spleen and stomach, making the production of Qi and blood insufficient, and the person will lose his appetite. Do not want to eat, and will be malnourished, and over time will inevitably lead to deficiency of qi and blood. Liver and gall bladder have the same root, so liver fire is easily transmitted to the gall bladder. After the liver makes bile, it will be stored in the gallbladder, and after the body eats, the bile in the gallbladder will flow into the intestines to promote digestion and absorption. When liver fire is too strong, some of the bile will be forced into the stomach, which is connected to the mouth, and the person will feel bitter in the mouth. Liver fire may also rise directly into the mouth, causing a dry mouth. In short, a yellow face and a dry mouth are bitter, which is the liver complaining of suffering. If it is not regulated in time, more serious health problems will appear.
