Liver stores blood, because it stores a lot of blood, and the foundation of yin blood is relatively solid, so it can support the release of liver qi. The liver is immobile, storing blood and belonging to yin; Functionally, he is like a general, dispersing qi (viscera function), loving everything and belonging to yang, which is called "body yin using yang" in Chinese medicine, and the use of yang is based on body yin. If liver blood deficiency, it is easy to over-excrete or under-excrete. Excessive catharsis and liver yang bursting, it is necessary to nourish yin and liver, clear liver heat and reduce liver fire; If there is insufficient drainage, people will have no strength and stay in the body. It is necessary to replenish blood and soften the liver, soothe the liver and regulate qi. At first, there was insufficient excretion, qi stagnation, and after a long time, occasionally sputum with blood. Therefore, there must be yin blood soaking to nourish the liver, so that the liver blood is smooth, so that digestion is good, defecation is smooth, menstruation is regular, and mood is stable. Therefore, the principle of qi stagnation is to maintain liver blood first and not make liver blood deficiency.
I saw some girls, thin, a little anemic, with thin yellow hair and gentle appearance, but with one pulse and one string. I feel that she is weak, with a depressed and uneasy heart under her appearance, and she is often depressed, looking for trouble and angry. People with liver-blood deficiency are irritable or depressed, and their mood is very unstable. If you are often angry, you vent too much. You can eat some Ejiao, Radix Rehmanniae Preparata, Mulberry, Radix Paeoniae Alba, Polygonum Multiflori Radix and Radix Angelicae Sinensis to nourish blood and yin, which is called "softening the liver" in Chinese medicine. With sufficient liver blood, qi stagnation will be improved.
Qi stagnation constitution and blood stasis constitution belong to the same category, why should they be separated? Because blood stasis constitution is a greater threat to human health and life, in order to reduce the generation of blood stasis constitution, we must do a good job in this stage of qi stagnation constitution. If we don't pay attention to it in the stage of qi stagnation constitution, with the increase of age, the blood will not be refreshing, and the elasticity of arterial wall will not be as good as when we were young. Coupled with qi deficiency, it is easy to form a blood stasis constitution. To some extent, qi stagnation constitution is the upstream stage of blood stasis constitution, so the maintenance and nursing of qi stagnation constitution is of great significance.
