The liver doesn't speak, but it controls the spots on your face!

As the saying goes: "The stomach is a trumpet and the liver is a mute."

Because: You can feel stomach pain, but no one talks about liver pain, because the liver is the only organ without pain nerves, so people often ignore its health.

The liver is the largest detoxification organ in the human body, so: if the liver is not healthy, you will age prematurely; if the liver is clean, the skin will be tender!

1. Is your liver healthy? Symptoms of poor liver function

1. Yellowing of the face, whites of the eyes, itching, and yellowing of the skin. If a person who has never had hepatitis suddenly develops yellowing of the eyes and skin after experiencing chills, fever, nausea, vomiting, liver pain, and extreme fatigue, then he has acute icteric liver disease.

2. Weak limbs and easy fatigue, laziness becomes more and more serious.

4. Difficulty concentrating, irritability, and emotional agitation.

5. Dizziness, tinnitus, persistent low-grade fever, or chills.

6. Severe dark circles under the eyes, dull complexion, which is different from the skin tanned by the sun, and the face is dull and lusterless.

7. The urine turns yellow and becomes similar to the color of beer.

8. Wrinkles appear on the skin. The liver is a detoxification organ. Poor liver function will lead to accumulation of toxins in the body, which will be reflected in the appearance of dark spots and wrinkles on the face.

9. People with "liver spots" and long-term depression will have liver qi stagnation. The liver is responsible for the release of qi, and liver qi stagnation will cause the whole body's qi to be out of balance, and the movement of the upper and lower internal and external organs will be disrupted. The garbage in the body cannot be cleared out in time, and it will accumulate in the body for a long time, which will show spots on the face.

Especially women with blood stasis characteristics often have rough skin, dull complexion, and are prone to pigmentation and spots.

So why is chloasma called liver spot? It is mainly because it is closely related to the liver. We have said that when a woman is in a bad mood, the liver will retaliate crazily, and blood stasis, chloasma... will all appear.

2. In spring, we should nourish the liver according to the weather.

The core of TCM health preservation: follow the will of nature.

Spring corresponds to the liver, and the liver wood is strong in growth, so spring is the best season to regulate the liver. Therefore, it is especially important for women who love beauty to regulate the liver qi and nourish the liver blood in accordance with the natural order.

If you don't take good care of your liver this spring, you will have to wait until the beginning of spring next year, which is called "hou shi" in traditional Chinese medicine.

3. Why is melasma also called “liver spots”?

“If you sleep well at Chou time, you won’t have spots on your face.” This sentence directly points out the relationship between spots and the liver.

During the Chou hour (1-3 a.m.), if you fall into a deep sleep, the liver meridian will send blood back to the liver, nourishing the liver and allowing the liver to metabolize and repair itself.

A prerequisite here is that you must be soundly asleep so that your liver can start working and metabolize the "waste" in the blood.

According to traditional Chinese medicine, chloasma is caused by insufficient kidney qi, liver qi stagnation, blood stasis, spleen deficiency and qi stagnation, which cannot moisturize the face.

In fact, the main cause of chloasma is liver depression. Only by nourishing liver blood can women have good skin and avoid spots.

A woman who leads an irregular life for a long time or has great work pressure will definitely have liver qi deficiency or depression, and her face will be covered with chloasma.

So, why is melasma also called liver spots? Mainly because it is directly related to the liver.

4. Regulate the liver and nourish the heart, and keep your beauty forever

1. Don’t get angry

The liver corresponds to spring, which is the first of the four seasons and governs the entire year. Anger hurts the liver, and getting angry in spring can easily lead to scorched buds and failed seeds, affecting the growth and storage of the year.

Being angry in spring can easily lead to depression for the whole year.

For women with excessive liver fire, pushing the abdomen, tapping the inner thighs, and rubbing the entire soles of the feet every day are good ways to nourish yin and reduce liver fire.

Tap the Tanzhong acupoint, because Tanzhong is the "qi meeting" acupoint of the human body and the gathering acupoint of the pericardium. Qi is easily stagnant here. Frequent tapping of the Tanzhong acupoint can help to eliminate qi and relieve depression. As long as a woman's qi is smooth, the circulation of qi and blood will be good.

2. Massage your abdomen to nourish and protect your liver

How to massage the stomach? Generally speaking, counterclockwise is for drainage, and clockwise is for supplementation. You need to clear the stomach first before you can supplement it, so you should rub the stomach counterclockwise first, and then clockwise. Massage one or two hundred times a day, and any liver depression can be relieved.

3. Regulate the Liver Meridian

In order to regulate the liver qi, in addition to eating more green vegetables, having a regular schedule, and not getting angry, it is very necessary to massage the liver meridian every day!

▲Butterfly pose can effectively open up the liver meridian

The butterfly pose is very good for stretching the meridians in the legs, especially the liver meridian, and it is also simple and convenient.

The butterfly pose looks like a butterfly spreading its wings. It is not only good for soothing the liver and regulating qi, but also can speed up blood flow in the pelvis, which is very good for women who sit for a long time.

The liver meridian is on the inner thigh. Sit down, bend your legs a little, and let the inner side face up. You can tap or massage. Just feel the intensity of stimulation. 10 minutes for each leg each time.

4. Moxibustion

Moxibustion acupoints: Ashi point, Zhangmen point, Sanyinjiao point, Xingjian point, Neiguan point, Gongsun point

Ashi points are the spots on our face.

Zhangmen acupoint is a major acupoint on the liver meridian and is also the spleen's gathering point. "The internal organs meet at Zhangmen"; that is to say, Zhangmen acupoint can not only remove liver fire, but also strengthen the spleen and regulate the five internal organs.

Sanyinjiao is the meeting point of the liver, spleen and kidney meridians. One point can treat three meridians and is very good for nourishing the liver, spleen and kidneys.

Xingjian is a fire point. The liver belongs to wood, and wood generates fire. If someone has excessive liver fire, moxibustion on Xingjian can relieve liver fire. This is called "draining the child when it is strong." Xingjian is an acupuncture point for relieving heart fire.

Gongsun acupoint is one of the eight meridian intersection points, which connects to the Chong meridian, the largest blood sea in the human body. Gongsun acupoint and Neiguan acupoint on the pericardium meridian are the best working partners, and have excellent effects on heart qi deficiency!

method

Moxibustion each acupoint once a day for 20 minutes each time, and rest for 1 day after 2 days of moxibustion.

You can perform moxibustion on the Ashi points according to your own situation. It is best to do some scraping before moxibustion, because scraping and direct moxibustion can disperse blood stasis.

5. Press Taichong to detoxify and relieve depression

This refers to Taichong acupoint, which is located in the depression between the first and second metatarsal bones on the dorsum of the foot. Use your thumb to massage for 3 to 5 minutes until you feel a slight soreness. Do not use too much force, and press alternately on both feet.

6. Tears detoxification and depression relief method

Compared with men who never cry, women live longer, which can be said to be related to tears. Traditional Chinese medicine has long recognized this, and it has also been confirmed by Western medicine. Tears, as excretions, like sweat and urine, do contain some biochemical toxins that are harmful to the body. So, when you feel uncomfortable, wronged, or depressed, just cry. For those "optimists", watching a sad movie on a weekend afternoon and letting tears flow with the plot is also a proactive way to detoxify.

In addition, in addition to genetic factors, the factors that cause pigmentation on women's faces, besides liver depression, is pelvic coldness. Such people generally have uterine coldness or gynecological problems, and can undergo relevant conditioning!
