Let's talk about the performance of liver fire first. The liver regulates the circulation of qi, blood and water in human body, and it is also the largest detoxification organ in human body. All the food we eat depends on the liver to detoxify, so the liver is very important to us. If there is something wrong with the liver, we will get sick easily.
1. Bitter mouth
Stagnation of liver qi and bitter taste are the most common manifestations. When the liver fire is strong, the clear qi does not rise and the turbid qi does not fall. If the turbid gas comes up, it will cause a bitter taste.
dry
Because the liver fire is strong, it will consume body fluids, leading to dry mouth, especially when we get up in the morning, or we may get up and drink water because of dry mouth in the middle of the night.
3. bad breath
Excessive liver fire leads to dry mouth, less secretions in the mouth and less swallowing, and the gas in the stomach is easy to come up. In addition, the secretions in the mouth have no cleaning effect, and the residues discharged by fungi in the mouth stay, which is very easy to produce bad breath.
dizzy
Due to insufficient kidney water, hepatobiliary inflammation. It will make us feel headache, dizziness, blushing, red tongue and bitter taste.
5. Deafness and tinnitus
Isn't kidney deficiency like this? In fact, deafness is also related to the attack of liver fire. Because the liver and kidney are homologous, the kidney begins to understand the ear, so liver fire will lead to deafness, tinnitus, irritability, bitter taste and swelling of the ear canal. Presumably, many elderly people will have experienced it!
6. menarche
In fact, people who are full of anger are somewhat similar to women during the holidays, that is, the feeling of irritability. In fact, many people have such performance during menstruation, which actually has a certain relationship with liver fire.
7. insomnia
Hyperactivity of the liver will lead to excessive thinking, and the whole person will feel irritable. If he can't settle down and concentrate on something, he will get angry. Anger will hurt the liver, and liver blood will be consumed. If he loses his vigilance, he will easily lose sleep. If he suffers from insomnia, it will easily lead to insufficient blood storage in the liver, aggravate liver problems and aggravate liver fire.
How to reduce liver fire? Our first thought is eating. If you can reduce the liver fire by eating some food that can reduce the fire, it must be the best, so that you can enjoy the food and achieve your goal. But in fact, I'm afraid I'll let you down. Foods that often have a good purpose of reducing fire may not taste so good, and even have a little bitterness, such as bitter gourd, but not necessarily.
What foods can be specially eaten to help us reduce the fire?
chrysanthemum
Chrysanthemum has the functions of dispelling wind and clearing away heat, clearing liver-fire, improving eyesight, nourishing liver and reducing fire, which helps to relieve symptoms such as bitter mouth, headache and sore throat. In fact, the most remarkable thing about chrysanthemum is that the eyes are red and dry due to the strong liver fire. If you have a similar situation, soak in chrysanthemum tea to see if it can help you alleviate it.
2. Bitter gourd
If you can accept bitter gourd, try bitter gourd juice! Bitter gourd nourishes blood and liver, moistens lung and tonifies kidney. It is a good choice to reduce liver fire, but bitter gourd juice may be difficult for many people to accept. It may be easier to try cold bitter gourd or fried meat with bitter gourd.
Besides, as far as eating is concerned, it is more important to have a balanced diet. Liver anger also has a lot to do with our diet. If barbecue and fried chicken keep coming in, it's hard to get angry. So pay attention to a light diet. We can usually eat some foods that reduce fire, such as water chestnut, hawthorn, olives and so on. We can also eat more watermelons, strawberries and tomatoes.
Pay attention to self-regulation:
Self-regulation is very important for some emotional expressions when the liver fire is strong. If you are entangled in troubles, you will be more agitated, and anger will hurt your liver, so your anger will be strong and your mood will be more excited. At this time, you need to pay attention to shifting yourself away from the things you are interested in, and please relax yourself and be less excited and irritable. To reduce fire, self-regulation is better than eating some food.
It is best to cultivate some hobbies, such as gardening, fishing, dancing, calligraphy and so on. Especially for the elderly, it is more difficult to get angry, and it is easy to get sick when you get angry, so it is really important to cultivate one's morality.
Exercise is also a way of purging fire:
The most direct way for many people to get angry is to find an outlet to vent their anger, and exercise is a very good way. For young people, it may be an unbridled long-distance running, a wonderful bullfight on the basketball court, or throwing a sandbag to spare no effort to hit you. When you are exhausted, your restless heart will be calmed down and your angry heart will be vented. -Middle-aged and elderly people should not use this method.
For middle-aged and elderly people, it is best to do some relatively mild exercise, mainly aerobic exercise, such as jogging, walking, yoga, Tai Chi, dancing and so on. What's more important is to cultivate one's sentiment through exercise, and it is not advisable to exercise vigorously, otherwise some unpredictable dangers will easily occur.
To sum up, the effect of reducing liver fire only through diet is very limited, and it should be combined with all aspects of life, including diet regulation, emotional control and appropriate exercise to help. Moreover, the Spring Festival is the season most prone to anger. Just pay attention to prevention, pay attention to light diet, adjust mood, and adjust yourself in time if there are some angry situations.
So, how is excessive anger caused? What are the symptoms? What is better to eat to reduce liver fire? Below, I will talk to you about these issues.
Many people may find it strange that I am usually fine, how can I be angry? I am just in a bad mood. How can it cause excessive anger?
In fact, liver fire and liver fire are generally caused by external stimuli, especially when you are sulking for a long time and in a bad mood, it is very easy to cause the liver fire to rise. This is because our liver is a "general's office", which regulates qi activity and emotion, likes communication and hates depression. Therefore, when a person's mood is uncomfortable, it is easy to cause liver depression, which will lead to qi stagnation and excessive fire, which will lead to the upwelling of qi and fire, the upwelling of liver fire or the exuberance of liver qi.
In addition, if the balance of yin and yang in our body is out of balance for some reasons, it will lead to liver yang turning into fire or liver meridian accumulating heat, which will lead to liver fire exuberance. For example, if a person eats some hot food for a long time, or greasy, spicy and irritating food, or food rich in additives, or smoking and drinking too much, it will increase the burden on the liver, leading to poor blood circulation and accumulation of heat in the liver meridian.
Also, if a person often stays up late and lacks sleep, it will consume yin and body fluid excessively, which will easily lead to yin deficiency and heat excess. In addition, if he does not rest in time at night, it will also affect the detoxification of the liver and easily lead to excessive liver fire.
Excessive liver fire, in the final analysis, is the heat image shown by excessive liver yang. Therefore, when the liver fire is too strong, there are generally the following symptoms:
First, it is easy to lose your temper and become irritable. This is because you have heat in your body, and people can't be quiet. You will feel upset, lose control of your temper, and even get angry at the slightest thing.
Second, there will be dizziness, redness, red eyes, bitter mouth, dry mouth, bad breath, swollen gums and other symptoms. This is because the liver fire gets angry, and there is heat in the body, which causes redness, red eyes and swollen gums. And liver fire constantly consumes body fluid, which is easy to cause symptoms such as bitter taste, dry mouth and bad breath.
If we carefully observe the patients' tongue coating, we can often find that their tongue coating is red, and some are strawberry tongue. The angrier they are, the redder their tongue coating becomes. In addition, if there is moisture in the body, yellow fur will appear on the tongue coating, which are all manifestations of excessive liver fire.
Third, there are symptoms such as unstable sleep, dreaminess and insomnia when sleeping. This is because the liver fire is too strong and there is heat in the body, which can't make people calm down and fall asleep. It is easy to make people fidget at night, easy to wake up, insomnia and dreaminess.
Fourth, getting angry easily leads to symptoms such as short urine, Huang Chi and dry stool. If you are a female friend, it will also cause abnormal increase of leucorrhea, even yellow leucorrhea, delayed menstruation, irregular menstruation and other symptoms.
What if you find yourself too angry? Naturally, it is necessary to clear away heat and reduce fire in time, soothe the liver and relieve depression, so as to reduce liver fire.
When it comes to what to eat, it's better to reduce the internal heat. I think eating bitter gourd is the best. Because "bitter" food is the natural enemy of "fire", Chinese medicine research has found that bitter substances in bitter gourd have the functions of relieving fever, dispelling summer heat and eliminating fatigue. Moreover, the bitter and cold nature of bitter gourd has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying. In addition, bitter gourd is cyan, and cyan enters the liver, which can better play the role of clearing heat and reducing fire.
In addition, making tea with chrysanthemum, rose and gardenia can also play an effective role in clearing away heat and reducing fire.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that chrysanthemum is sweet, bitter and slightly cold, and has the effects of dispelling wind and clearing heat, calming the liver and improving eyesight, especially wild chrysanthemum is bitter, with strong heat-clearing and detoxicating power, which can clear heat and reduce fire well; Rose has the functions of regulating liver, relieving depression, promoting qi circulation and promoting blood circulation, and has a good effect on excessive liver fire caused by stagnation of liver qi; Gardenia, on the other hand, has the functions of purging fire and relieving restlessness, clearing away heat and toxic materials, calming the heart and relieving restlessness, and clearing the liver and purging fire.
Therefore, for those who are too angry, chrysanthemums, roses, gardenias and so on. Can be used as tea alone or in combination, and also can be added with Radix Paeoniae Alba and Flos Lonicerae. However, the best way is to use it according to your own symptoms under the guidance of Chinese medicine, so the effect will be better. If the liver fire is too strong and drinking chrysanthemum tea and gardenia tea is too slow to reduce the fire, you can also take Longdan Xiegan Decoction under the guidance of a doctor, which is the best choice for reducing the fire.
Finally, in order to avoid being too angry, we should keep a peaceful attitude and face life with a broad and optimistic attitude. Also quit smoking and limit alcohol, avoid eating too much sweet and spicy, and eat more green vegetables and fruits.
At the same time, we should also ensure adequate sleep, avoid staying up late, strengthen physical exercise, promote metabolism and avoid excessive anger.
The liver is one of the five internal organs of the human body. It is located in the abdomen, under the right diaphragm, at the front of the gallbladder, in front of the right kidney and above the stomach. Give full play to the functions of deoxygenation, storage of liver sugar, synthesis of secretory protein, secretion of bile, immunity and metabolism of sugar, protein, fat and vitamins. It is the material metabolism center of "the largest chemical plant in human body".
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the liver and gallbladder are exterior and interior, and the eyes are enlightened. The liver controls blood storage, and the gallbladder controls drainage, which has the function of storing and regulating blood. "Su Wen Wu Zangcheng": "The muscles of the liver are also combined, and their claws are also glorious." The liver is also the official of the general, and the mastermind is worried.
What is the "champion" of reducing liver fire? The combination of diet and exercise can effectively discharge hepatotoxicity!
First, sleep protects the liver.
When sleeping, the human body is lying down, and the liver can enjoy more blood irrigation. In addition, the body is at rest and the burden on the liver is the lightest. Therefore, high-quality sleep plays a significant role in protecting the liver. On the contrary, poor sleep quality, especially sleep disorder, is easy to involve liver function.
Second, exercise protects the liver.
Actively engaging in physical exercise is another effective way to protect the liver, because exercise can not only reduce overweight, prevent obesity and eliminate the harm of excessive fat to the liver, but also promote gas exchange, speed up blood circulation and ensure the liver to get more oxygen and nutrition.
Third, diet therapy protects the liver.
1 .sanqi
The stress of life and work can lead to anxiety and constipation. Although constipation is not a big problem, long-term complications will bring poison to the body and lead to gastrointestinal disorders. The occurrence of this situation is related to people's liver fire, so you can soak a cup every day for three or seven days, from three rounds to six rounds, which has a good effect, not only constipation, but also relieving constipation, solving the problem of liver fire, clearing heart fire and strengthening the hematopoietic function of the liver.
2. Chrysanthemum tea
Chrysanthemum tea is a kind of tea that people often drink, and many office workers like it very much. Chrysanthemum tea can brighten eyes. For people who sit in front of the computer for a long time, drinking chrysanthemum tea often helps to protect their eyes.
In fact, chrysanthemum can also clear the liver. As we all know, the weather in spring and summer is changeable, which leads to people's mood. Therefore, drinking chrysanthemum tea can reduce fire and clear fire, and the taste is very light and the price is not very expensive. You can buy a pack for more than ten yuan, so you'd better drink more.
Step 3: Beet root
The beetroot growing along the Mediterranean coast is red, so it is also called "flame grass" and can be eaten as a vegetable. Beet root contains a lot of iodine, which can prevent and improve the swelling of thyroid gland. Besides eliminating iodine-containing groups, beet also contains a lot of magnesium, which can soften blood vessels and prevent thrombosis. It can also help the liver to detoxify and improve the liver repair ability by clearing away heat and toxic materials.
4. Schisandra chinensis
Sweet and sour Schisandra chinensis has mild pharmacology, and has many functions such as invigorating qi, activating water, tonifying kidney and nourishing heart. Promote liver detoxification, protect liver function, and regenerate the damage of alcohol, drugs and hepatitis to liver tissue. According to experts, Schisandra chinensis is also effective in treating patients with viral hepatitis.
5. Rose tea
Always drink rose tea, roses have the function of promoting qi circulation to relieve depression and remove blood stasis. When the mood is depressed, the epigastrium is full and painful, or the menstruation is irregular and the breasts are painful, use 5 10g rose and boil water for 20-30 minutes to improve the symptoms.
Excessive liver fire is a concept of traditional Chinese medicine, which is mostly caused by people's bad daily habits. If the liver fire is too long and the fire is too strong, it will damage the yin, leading to the deficiency of liver yin, which may eventually lead to deficiency of both liver and kidney.
What is the "champion" of reducing liver fire? Chinese medicine pays attention to syndrome differentiation and treatment. People with hyperthyroidism will have some abnormal manifestations, some of which are easily overlooked. Traditional Chinese medicine says that the treatment of hyperactivity of liver is mainly soothing the liver, clearing away heat and purging fire. Of course, life conditioning is a very important part.
Angry people will have these behaviors!
That's what angry people should do! Excessive liver fire is related to bad living habits. If you want to reduce liver fire, you must start with daily life conditioning.

It should be used with caution for clearing liver and purging fire, and patients with spleen and stomach deficiency and cold. Consult professional Chinese medicine practitioners for details.

Liver-fire easily causes symptoms such as red eyes, irritability, headache, hypochondriac pain, bitter taste, vomiting blood, hemoptysis and rapid pulse, which brings great harm to patients and seriously affects their work, life and physical and mental health.

There are many ways to reduce liver fire, and these are the "champions" to reduce liver fire.
First of all, what are the symptoms of hyperactivity of liver fire? When symptoms such as red face and red eyes, dry throat, bitter taste, impatience and irritability, red tongue with yellow fur, constipation, short urine, dizziness, tinnitus and deafness appear, excessive liver fire can be considered. Secondly, there are many reasons for liver fire, such as irritability, improper diet, irregular work and rest, etc. If you can calm the liver fire, you can start from these aspects. Taking medicine or food can also clear the liver. Eating some drugs such as cassia seed, concha Haliotidis, Flos Chrysanthemi Indici and Longdan Xiegan Pill can effectively clear the liver. You can also start with the usual recipes and take some bitter foods as follows: 1. Although bitter, bitter gourd can effectively clear liver and purge fire; 2, tomatoes are rich in vitamins, but also can clear away heat and detoxify, clear the liver and purge fire; 3, lotus seeds, when patients are restless and sleep badly, you can use lotus seeds to boil water to drink, you can go to the liver and improve sleep.
The clinical manifestations of hyperactivity of liver fire are dizziness, jaundice, swelling and pain in the eyes, bitter taste in the mouth, constipation, Huang Chi in urine, irritability, rapid pulse, yellow tongue coating and abnormal liver function in physical examination. After taking it, it is best to decoct Longdan Xietang to reduce liver fire.
① What is liver fire?
Hyperactivity of liver fire is a description of disease syndromes in TCM theory. Please note that the analysis of disease syndromes in traditional Chinese medicine is a comprehensive analysis of patients' symptoms, vision, posture, voice, tongue and pulse, and a certain type of disease syndrome is established after identification.
Liver has the function of regulating qi and blood circulation, including regulating mood, secreting bile and helping digestion. Excess of liver fire is disorder of liver qi and blood. The main pathological changes are the surge of liver qi after anger, the qi is yang, the yang is vigorous, and the heat evil accumulates in the liver. To sum up the symptoms of liver fire, it can be summarized as liver depression and qi stagnation+excessive fire impairing body fluid, which leads to systemic symptom response.
It can be seen that vigorous liver fire is different from liver disease in modern medicine, and may be manifested as dysfunction (no substantive lesions), such as emotional impatience, bitter taste and yellow urine, swelling and pain in both ribs, dry eyes, irregular menstruation, upset and insomnia, red tongue with yellow fur and so on. This situation is a relatively minor problem, and there is nothing serious. It can also occur in solid lesions, such as acute and chronic cholecystitis, hepatitis, hyperthyroidism with bitter urine, dry eyes and constipation, as well as skin herpes zoster (snake sore) in liver area with symptoms of liver fire, and can also be treated according to liver fire syndrome.
(2) how to reduce the liver fire when the liver fire is big?
According to the severity of liver fire, clearing liver can start from three aspects:
① Passion-induced liver fire is strong, with short-term dry eyes, impatience, bitter taste and yellow urine. Generally, no special treatment is required. Pay attention to emotional comfort, increase exercise and drink more water, and you can recover quickly if you have too much. Due to the short-term imbalance of qi and blood in human viscera, if the inducement is removed, its regulatory ability can be restored.
② Excessive liver fire leads to organic diseases, or the symptoms are more serious. For example, excessive liver fire caused by hepatitis or hyperthyroidism requires face-to-face diagnosis of traditional Chinese medicine, and judging the cause of excessive liver fire is the key to treatment. If organic diseases are excluded, but hypochondriac swelling and pain, bitter taste, constipation and severe dry eyes can be eliminated, gentian can be used to purge liver, clear liver and purge fire. According to the treatment principle of Huangdi Neijing, pathogenic fire belongs to heat syndrome. Taking the treatment principle of "heat is cold" and choosing heat-clearing food and medicine can achieve the regulation effect.
At the same time, TCM theory should have the regulation rule of "depressed fire". The so-called stagnation of liver fire means that liver fire is mostly caused by stagnation of liver fire, and it is impossible to remove stagnation of liver fire simply by using cold medicine or food. Choosing drugs for purging fire can dispel the stagnation of liver fire, and properly use Huai Ju, Frosted Mulberry Leaves and so on to clear the liver and purge fire. And paying attention to diet and mood can also improve symptoms quickly.
Finally, I hope my answer is helpful to you.
I'm Dr. Wang Hui, a Chinese medicine doctor, and I'll answer your question.
Liver fire can be further divided into deficiency fire and excess fire, in which deficiency fire is due to the deficiency of yin in our body, and liver fire caused by yin deficiency is vigorous, mainly due to yin deficiency.
It is easy to appear in patients with diabetes, chronic liver disease and hypertension, especially in late spring and early summer, and it is more prone to hyperactivity of liver yang and excessive deficiency fire.
People with excessive fire usually show dry eyes and blurred vision, and are prone to eye fatigue and dizziness. Their voices are usually sharp, just like cicadas' chirping, and their tongues are bright and clean, or bright red, with little coating. The body is generally prone to hot flashes and night sweats, and the waist and knees are sore and often recur.
If you want to reduce deficiency fire, you can choose peony bark, which can clear away heat and cool blood, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. The ingredient for reducing deficiency fire is mulberry, which can nourish yin and reduce fire.
In addition, there is excess fire, that is, excessive yang, such as frequent drinking, spicy diet, overeating, emotional stimulation, and the diet is mainly fatty and sweet, which is easy to produce excess fire in the liver.
The symptoms of excess liver fire mainly include red eyes, swelling and pain, many gums, and thick voice, just like the sound of a train whistling, red tongue and yellow tongue coating, which are prone to bleeding symptoms such as nosebleeds and bleeding gums, accompanied by less urine, yellow urine, constipation and burning ribs on both sides.
Regulating liver fire, Chinese patent medicine can choose Longdan Xiegan Pill, and you can often drink Kuding tea for daily conditioning.
