The five internal organs of TCM correspond to five emotions, namely anger, joy, thinking, sadness and fear. Among them, the liver corresponds to "anger", that is, "anger hurts the liver", so we should pay attention to controlling our emotions at ordinary times. Long-term depression or sudden anger will lead to liver qi and blood imbalance and affect the function of liver to relieve qi and blood. Therefore, when you feel uncomfortable, you should find ways to vent negative emotions, such as finding a close friend to talk about your unhappiness, and you must not keep it in your heart to avoid hurting your liver.
Secondly, TCM health care emphasizes the rules of work and rest and daily life.
According to the meridian stream of traditional Chinese medicine, the liver and gallbladder are most prosperous from 1 1 afternoon to 3: 00 am, and the blood of the internal organs passes through the liver, and the detoxification function of the liver reaches its peak at this moment. Therefore, people should conform to nature at this time and ensure adequate rest. In addition, Chinese medicine believes that "blood returns to the liver when people lie down." Therefore, the best way to nourish the liver is to have a good rest. Avoid overwork at ordinary times, rest in time to replenish physical strength, let the liver play the role of regulating qi and blood and eliminate fatigue.
Third, Chinese medicine can protect the liver through food supplements.

The liver dominates cyan, and "cyan enters the liver meridian", so you can usually eat more cyan foods, such as spinach, watercress, kale, cucumber, wax gourd and mung bean. It has the effects of nourishing yin and moistening dryness, soothing the liver and nourishing blood. In addition, according to the principle that sour taste enters the liver, you can eat more rice vinegar in daily life, which can not only benefit the liver but also prevent colds. Some sour foods, such as hawthorn, dogwood and medlar, have the function of protecting and astringent liver. Liver protectors should also pay attention to eating less spicy and greasy food and drinking less.
Fourth, strengthen the spleen and protect the liver.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the five internal organs are closely related, among which the liver belongs to wood, the spleen belongs to soil, and the wood is flourishing. Liver governs blood, stores and regulates whole body blood volume, and spleen governs blood, which is the source of qi and blood biochemistry. Spleen is healthy, qi and blood are active, and blood volume is sufficient, so liver blood is full. Therefore, proper selenium supplementation to maintain the digestive function of the spleen and stomach, and eating some traditional Chinese medicines with the effects of invigorating qi and strengthening the spleen, such as Codonopsis pilosula, Rhizoma Dioscoreae, Poria, Atractylodes macrocephala, Coicis Semen, lentils, etc., are also beneficial to nursed back to health.
Finally, many Chinese medicines have the function of nourishing and soothing the liver.
