Liver fire disturbing the heart is a common condition in Chinese medicine. The cause of the disease is mostly due to emotional upset, anger and the liver qi does not run smoothly, thus depressed and transformed into fire, up to disturb the heart and mind. As the liver’s depression transforms into fire (the liver’s qi does not flow smoothly, resulting in the production of fire and heat), which disturbs the heart and mind, symptoms such as heartburn and insomnia may occur. Liver fire disturbing the heart also causes liver qi to offend the stomach (poor liver qi affects the function of the stomach), resulting in symptoms such as a lack of desire for food and thirst. Liver Fire is on the high side, so patients may experience a range of symptoms such as impatience and irritability, redness of the eyes and bitterness of the mouth.
