Liver fire is easy to damage the liver! Chinese and Western medicine have very different views on the liver. Modern medicine refers to the liver as a simple organ. The “liver” in Chinese medicine is not only the liver, but also the brain, digestive tract and nerve system in a broad sense. Chinese medicine doctor Sheng-Pu Lee pointed out that the liver to be good, is basically to improve the body’s environment, to maintain the normal regulation function, in order to enhance the ability to resist disease; liver fire, easy to emotional restlessness, need to relieve heat to clear the liver diet, and sufficient sleep, is the way to nourish the liver.

Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee, a Chinese medicine doctor, pointed out that young office workers generally have “liver fatigue” because of irregular sleep and diet, such as the desire to sleep after meals, emotional irritability, dry and tired eyes, etc., are warning signs of liver fatigue; if you want to have a “colorful life”, you have to sleep well, eat healthy, and reduce excessive physical overdraft.
The signs of liver fatigue include: sleeping 8 hours and still feeling tired, dark eyes or dry eyes, skin irritation all day long, fatigue, and even girls with acne, these are all signs of liver fatigue; especially young people rely on their physical strength, often do not sleep at night to go to nightclubs, or play online games, are very easy to damage the liver.
A bad liver is a black and white life, if once the liver itself is in decline, it will become sick. People who drink alcohol, such as in the past 1 or 2 bottles not drunk, recently drink less than one bottle will feel dizzy, and the next day still have a headache and drowsiness, this is the prelude to cirrhosis of the liver. People who care about themselves should drink as little as possible at this time.
Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee stressed that in order to maintain the liver, in addition to enough sleep, relaxed mood, should pay attention to not eat too fast, eat too much, and diversified food nutrient mix. For example, vegetables, fruits, fish, meat and other diverse intake, in order to make the liver get sufficient nutrition, to achieve the effect of regulating the stomach and intestines.
In Chinese medicine, “the liver is the main reservoir of blood”, as mentioned in the Suwen chapter of Huangdi Neijing: “When people sleep, blood returns to the liver. Only with enough sleep can the liver be fully restored. From the Chinese medicine point of view, blood flows through the liver and gallbladder between 11:00 p.m. and 3:00 a.m. At this time, the body should get complete rest, otherwise the liver’s repair function will be affected and the body will not be able to recover, and the ability to think will also become slow, or the body will not be able to come up with new ideas or articles.
In addition, the poor quality of sleep will cause the liver fire to rise, Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee pointed out that the best way for the liver is to find time to rest every day. In particular, it is not appropriate to engage in too much brain work at night, which can easily affect the quality of sleep. If you stay up late too often and use your brain too much, it will also make the “liver wood” function too hyper, serious or even “burst liver”, resulting in “liver fire” injury to the body, should not be taken lightly.
