Take care of your liver, ageing is late and healthy seniors can still enjoy themselves. Before you can enjoy the world, your body is gradually
Hot summer weather and a strong liver fire can cause discomfort. Don’t endure the suffering and instead take measures to cool down and reduce the fire.
Office workers lead busy and stressful lives, and working overtime and staying up late are commonplace. Insufficient sleep and depression can lead to insomnia, dry mouth, tinnitus, dry eyes, and even mouth ulcers. Especially in Taiwan during the months of July and August, the continuous high temperatures cause many people to feel irritable and have trouble sleeping, which may be a sign of excessive liver fire.
Taiwanese people are fond of taking medicine, especially herbal medicine, as it is already a common practice in their daily lives. Many people’s immediate response to excessive liver fire is to grab a handful of coptis and either swallow or brew it. This bitter medicine can indeed relieve inflammation and eliminate excessive fire, but long-term use may also cause side effects, resulting in self-inflicted harm.
Traditional Chinese medicine doctor Sheng-Pu Lee reminds people that Taiwanese people are familiar with Chinese and herbal medicine, and pay great attention to excessive liver fire. Many people’s immediate reaction to liver diseases such as hepatitis, chronic hepatitis, or excessive liver fire is to use medicine to reduce fire. There are many anti-inflammatory medicines in Chinese medicine, such as coptis, scutellaria, and rhubarb, which can treat diseases effectively. However, it is crucial to properly adjust and prepare the medicine.
Because taking anti-inflammatory drugs for a long time can indeed kill viruses, but many beneficial bacteria in the body may also be suppressed, which may actually prevent the normal operation of the body’s Qi.
Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee said that coptis, scutellaria, and rhubarb are all bitter medicines, but sometimes there are viruses in the blood or organs, and the medicine is in the stomach and intestines. Can another force be used to guide the medicine to the blood and organs, so that the Qi in the organs and stomach can produce a synergistic effect, allowing the anti-inflammatory drugs in the stomach and intestines to also be effective in the blood and organs, and toxins can be eliminated through urine and feces.
Especially in traditional Chinese medicine theory, this type of anti-inflammatory and antibacterial medicine should not be taken for a long time because even good medicine can have a certain degree of harm besides its therapeutic effect. In particular, this type of anti-inflammatory medicine are mostly cold in nature and are mostly used for treatment rather than maintenance.
What would happen if there is a lack of this concept of using drugs synergistically? Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee said that Western medicine currently faces this problem. Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medicine in Western medicine are used to treat necrosis of the nose, gums, and limbs. Often, after taking the medicine, the affected area may become swollen, and the enzymes and vitality of the stomach, intestines, and liver may also decrease, causing the patient to feel weak all over the body.
In contrast, traditional Chinese medicine will use some warm medicines to drive cold medicines. Therefore, when taking the medicine, cold medicines can kill viruses in the body, and warm medicines can replenish the patient’s vitality, emphasizing the promotion of clear Qi, suppression of turbid Qi, and blood nourishment.
Therefore, in order to relieve liver fire, in addition to paying attention to normal work and rest, diet, and adequate sleep, medicines should not be taken casually. It is best to consult a qualified Chinese medicine practitioner to adjust according to individual constitution and symptoms. It is best to avoid exploring and trying out the medicine’s properties blindly without knowing what it is.
A healthy liver gives you the energy you need to live life to the fullest!
