What are the functions and protective measures of the liver?
1, the liver governs the storage of blood.

Liver governs storing blood. "When a person lies down, the blood belongs to the liver", that is, as long as a person lies down, the function of the liver to store blood can be brought into play.

The important function of liver in human body is the process of filtering and storing blood. So how is this process controlled? The liver is like a valve. As soon as people close their eyes or fall asleep, the valve (liver) will turn down or close. This tells us a truth, as long as you close your eyes, the whole metabolism of the human body begins to slow down. For the human body, slowing metabolism is a protective function.

Only when the liver can store blood can the body function normally. First of all, "the liver can see blood" means that our eyes can see things because of the role of blood, so the liver provides blood for the eyes to see; Secondly, "walking with blood" means that only when blood reaches the foot can people walk and walk with strength; Then there is "the palm can be caught by blood", that is, the blood can reach the hand and the hand can hold the fist. If you can't catch it, it is related to insufficient blood; Finally, "refers to being patted by blood", blood can reach the fingertips, and people can complete all kinds of very fine movements.

When we sleep and just wake up, we should pay attention to avoid the wind, so as to ensure the smooth flow of blood. If you go out to catch the wind immediately after waking up, it will cause blood coagulation between the skin. This kind of blood is called evil blood, which is very harmful to human body and will lead to some serious diseases. If blood coagulates in blood vessels, it will form a thrombus, leading to poor blood flow; If there are blood clots on hands and feet, syncope will occur, which is the symptom of cold limbs.

How to deal with evil blood? Generally speaking, the veins stood out behind the ears, where bloodletting can dispel evil blood.

2. Close your eyes and nourish your liver

In traditional health care, it is very important to always close your eyes and nourish your liver. For example, when watching a computer, you must remember to close your eyes every half an hour or an hour to rest your eyes for a while. Closing your eyes for a while is equivalent to "hiding", which is very good for people. If you can always close your eyes and rest, it is equivalent to nourishing the liver.

Here again involves the issue of "compensation". Eating is not called tonic, and there are many ways to make it up. For the liver, it is nourishing to close your eyes frequently in daily life, which is equivalent to fixation. Fixation is to preserve the existing strength, just like fighting. When you can't beat your opponent for a while, saving your existing strength is victory in itself. Only when there is enough energy can we have the strength to destroy the enemy. Therefore, in the case of insufficient quality, preserving the existing strength is a great supplement.

3. Liver governs anger

Among the five internal organs, the liver governs anger. When people get angry, "anger leads to anger", and the qi will attack upwards, and all the qi will be transferred to the top, and the bottom will be empty and pathological changes will occur. For example, diarrhea occurs, and the body is unable to digest the food eaten in the body, leading to diarrhea and diarrhea. So don't mistakenly think that anger and depression will only hurt the liver, but actually hurt all aspects of the body and cause various diseases.

People live on one breath, and normal people's qi should be a group of Taihe qi. The upper and lower qi are running smoothly, and the liver and lungs should be running normally. In life, if we often lose our temper or feel depressed, it will do great harm to the liver.
