In addition, you can also drink some teas that can reduce liver fire, such as green tea, chrysanthemum tea, kuding tea and rose tea.
Excessive liver fire, mostly due to emotional exhaustion, leads to excessive liver meridian fire and qi and blood rushing up; Or due to the invasion of fiery evil into the body, involving the liver, leading to the upward movement of liver meridian qi and fire. The specific performance is as follows:
"hyperactivity of liver-fire" is a term in traditional Chinese medicine, which is understood as "hyperactivity of liver-yang" and shows some fever symptoms. There is a saying in Chinese medicine that yin and yang are balanced, and the viscera have yin and yang. They are like two fires, equal in strength, and no one can appreciate their strength. However, if one flame is weak, another flame will show "strength", or one flame will be stronger. Therefore, there may be two possibilities for "liver fire". One possibility is that the "liver yin" is weak, even if the liver yang is not strong, it will be manifested as excessive yang, which can also be said to be liver deficiency and excessive fire. One possibility is that the liver yang is strong, indicating excess fire.
However, no matter what kind of liver fire, it is manifested as a hot phenomenon, such as "the liver opens its eyes." We may feel our eyes are red and bloodshot. We may also feel dizzy and feverish, fidgety, bitter mouth, dry eyes, tinnitus, sores and pain, and often suffer from insomnia and dreaminess, lack of sleep and blurred vision when we wake up. Some dietary interventions can help alleviate the symptoms of hyperactivity of liver fire, but we should also improve our living habits and jointly regulate the symptoms of hyperactivity of liver fire.
If the liver fire is a "real fire", it is mostly caused by the destruction of the excretory function of the liver, and it is mostly caused by the emotional influence, such as frequent delivery with bad temper and irritability, and the accumulation of fire after the stagnation of liver qi, which can also deteriorate into anxiety, sleepless nights and easy to be surprised.

For example, licorice, angelica, astragalus, bitter food, bitter gourd, celery, tomato, cucumber and wax gourd can be added to vegetables, and foods such as watermelon and strawberry can also be eaten in fruits.
If the liver fire is a "virtual fire", it is because the "liver yin" is weakened and the fire of liver yang is relatively strong, reflecting the liver fire.
