Liver, one of the five internal organs
(A) the main physiological functions of the liver

1. Main drainage system

The liver governs the discharge, which means that the liver has the function of dredging and regulating the whole body qi. The catharsis function of the liver is manifested in the following aspects:

(1) Adjust the air conditioner.

Promoting qi refers to the ascending and descending movement of qi, and the functions of human viscera and qi and blood depend on the smoothness of promoting qi. This function of the liver plays an important role in regulating the smooth flow of qi in the whole body. The excretory function of the liver is normal, the regulation of qi and blood, the regulation of meridians, and the normal activity of viscera. Liver-qi deficiency, qi stagnation, pain and discomfort in chest, hypochondrium, breast and lower abdomen; Liver-qi upwelling, head swelling and pain, red face and red eyes; If the qi rises too much, the blood will vomit blood and hemoptysis, even death and coma. The movement of blood and the metabolism of body fluid depend on the movement of qi. Therefore, qi stagnation affects blood, which may lead to congestion or syndrome accumulation. Women can see irregular menstruation, dysmenorrhea and amenorrhea. It affects body fluids and can produce pathological products such as phlegm and water.

(2) Promoting spleen and stomach transport

Spleen governs ascending, stomach governs descending, and normal liver drainage is an important condition to keep spleen ascending and descending. Loss of liver qi will not only lead to dizziness, anorexia, abdominal distension, diarrhea and other symptoms of disharmony between liver and spleen, but also lead to nausea, belching, abdominal distension and pain and other symptoms of disharmony between liver and stomach. Shugan can also regulate bile secretion and excretion, thus helping the spleen and stomach digest and absorb diet. Stagnation of liver qi leads to bile secretion and excretion disorders, such as hypochondriac swelling and pain, bitter taste and even jaundice.

? (3) Regulating emotions

Mental and emotional activities depend on the operation of qi and blood, normal liver excretion, smooth operation of qi, harmonious qi and blood, happy spirit and comfortable mood. Stagnation of liver qi, mental depression, melancholy and unhappiness; If the liver rises too much, it will be fidgety, insomnia and dreaminess.

In addition, women's ovulation, menstrual cramps and men's ejaculation are all related to the excretory function of the liver.

2. Main blood storage

Liver storing blood means that the liver has the function of storing blood and regulating blood volume. Storing a certain amount of blood in the liver can not only limit the rise of yang in the liver, but also prevent bleeding. The liver can regulate blood volume and the body is active or emotional. The liver stores blood and distributes it to the outside, making the body quiet and emotionally stable, and its peripheral part is hidden in the liver for several months. Liver blood deficiency, blood is not nourishing eyes, his eyes are dim, or he is night blind; Blood does not nourish tendons, tendons are tense, limbs are numb, and flexion and extension are unfavorable; Women have less menstruation and even amenorrhea. The liver does not store blood, and hematemesis, epistaxis, menorrhagia and even metrorrhagia can be seen.

(2) The liver is the heart, fluid, body and orifices.

1. Anger in the liver, tears in the fluid.

The liver has the characteristics of hair growth, and great anger hurts the liver, which will lead to excessive growth of yang in the liver. On the other hand, if the yin and blood of the liver are insufficient and Yang Can is out of control, it is easy to get angry. Tears come from the eyes, which can nourish and protect the eyes. If the blood of liver yin is insufficient and the secretion of tears is reduced, the eyes will be dry; For example, the eyes are red, carbuncle is enlarged and tears are shed in the wind caused by wind and fire and damp heat of liver meridian.

? 2. The liver combines tendons in the body, brilliance in the claws, and enlightenment in the eyes.

Tendons, that is, fascia, attach to bones and gather at joints. Tendons depend on the nourishment of liver and blood to move normally. Liver blood is full, muscles are nourished, and joint movements are flexible and powerful. If liver qi and blood fail less, fascia loses nutrition, muscle strength is unhealthy and exercise is unfavorable. Tremor of hands and feet, numbness of limbs, unfavorable flexion and extension, and even furuncle and carbuncle may occur. Therefore, "On the Truth of Su Wen" said: "All wind dazzles the liver."

? Claw nail is the continuation of tendon, "so it is called claw tendon." Liver blood is sufficient, claw nails are tough and bright, ruddy and shiny; Liver blood deficiency, claw nails are thin, soft and withered, with brittle deformation.

? The meridians of the liver are connected with the eye system, and its purpose and function depend on the nourishment of liver blood, liver blood deficiency, blurred vision or night blindness; Loss of liver yin, dry eyes, wind-heat in liver meridian, red eyes, itching and pain; Inflammation of liver fire, red eyes, hyperactivity of liver yang, dizziness of head; Liver wind moves inward, eyes look up obliquely, etc.
