There are four signs of a bad liver.
Insomnia turned out to be liver failure.
Chinese medicine says: the liver governs the storage of blood. Su Wen in Huangdi Neijing mentioned that "blood belongs to the liver when people lie on their back". That is to say, when people lie down, the excess flowing blood is not used and hidden in the liver. Only with adequate sleep can the liver be repaired.
Clinical medicine has proved that most liver diseases are "boiled" except genetic and infectious factors. Too much pressure often makes people mentally and physically exhausted. Coupled with long-term lack of sleep, the liver will slowly show symptoms.
Studies have shown that people with poor sleep quality are more than twice as likely to suffer from liver disease as those with normal sleep.
Many people's eyes turn red after staying up late. It is a typical symptom of liver fire in Chinese medicine.
People with poor liver will have these four symptoms when they sleep: insomnia, easy waking, grinding their teeth, talking in their sleep, calf cramps and getting up frequently at night. The above four phenomena account for 1, indicating that your liver function is very poor!
Easy to get angry and depressed.
People with depressed liver-qi tend to be angry and depressed at the same time. Become indifferent and not interested in anything. But it is easy to be irritable and impatient.
Dr. Zhu has an old lady patient. When she gets along with others, she gives in to everything and is a ninja when she is angry. She has no place to vent. After a long time, it shows various symptoms of stagnation of liver qi, such as lack of sleep and pain on both sides.
Dr. Zhu's advice to us is that some things can't be kept inside. If you are unhappy, you should vent it. Of course, I'm not asking you to get angry with people. As we all know, the fiercer the argument, the angrier it gets. You can find another way or hobby to vent your depression in a benign way.
Pain in hypochondriac and upper abdomen
Patients with stagnation of liver qi show hypochondriac pain, and the pain is easy to escape. If liver-qi attacks the stomach, there will be epigastric pain and loss of appetite.
For female patients, there will be symptoms such as foreign body in pharynx, breast pain and irregular menstruation.
One tea, one soup and one acupoint can soothe the liver and relieve depression.
You can eat some sweets in spring, such as medlar, jujube, spinach, shepherd's purse, chrysanthemum, roses and so on. Help us clear the liver and purge fire, soothe the liver and regulate qi.

Press "be happy"
Stagnation of liver qi can also lead to poor circulation of qi and blood, which is easy to stagnate qi and blood stasis. Dr. Zhu has brought us five "happy points". Press each acupoint clockwise 10- 15 minutes to soothe the liver and relieve depression.
Waiguan point: on the outer side of the arm, at the horizontal stripes of the three fingers of the wrist to relieve hypochondriac pain;
Neiguan point: the inside of the arm and the three fingers of the wrist, nourishing and protecting the liver and regulating qi and blood;
Hegu point: between thumb and metacarpal bone of forefinger, also called tiger's mouth. Relieve pain, nausea and insomnia;
Laogong point: the finger is lightly held, at the tip of the middle finger; Yongquan point: a depression formed by the inward bending of toes. Pressing these two acupoints can relieve symptoms such as dry eyes and tinnitus.
Fengchi point, Fengfu point and Yifeng point: Fengchi point is located in two depressions of the hairline behind the head, Fengfu point is in the middle of the two Fengchi points, and Yifeng point is located in the depression behind the earlobe. Helps to relieve symptoms such as excessive internal heat and headache.

Rubbing these acupoints every day has a good effect on soothing the liver and regulating qi, promoting qi and blood circulation, dredging collaterals and relieving pain.
