Many people in life are troubled by liver qi stagnationI often feel as if there's a breath trapped in my chest, causing a sense of suffocation. Even minor issues can easily make me lose my temper, and I can't stop belching. Sometimes, right after a meal, I belch repeatedly, which even affects my appetite.。
At this point, people often think of taking Chaihu Shugan Wan for regulation, but as they continue taking it, they find something amiss. Not only does the chest tightness not ease, but they also feel weak all over, even too lazy to walk. The chest feels even more blocked, and at night, they start to feel palpitations, tossing and turning unable to sleep. Even lying down makes them feel their heart racing, and the more they try to sleep, the more awake they become.
Actually, it's not that the liver-soothing medicine itself is ineffective, but rather the direction of regulation is off. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine,The liver belongs to wood, the heart belongs to fire, the smooth growth of liver qi can help the heart fire rise betterBut if liver qi stagnation persists for a long time, it will prevent the heart fire from rising, and heart yang will be tightly suppressed within the body, unable to warm the entire body.
The commonly used Chaihu Shugan Wan and other liver-soothing medicines aim to "unblock" the stagnant liver qi. However, if taken long-term, their dispersing and pungent properties can gradually deplete liver blood.Liver blood is the foundation for the generation of liver qi. When liver blood is insufficient, liver qi loses its support. Even if it is temporarily unblocked, it will quickly become stagnant again. Additionally, the depletion of liver blood can affect the heart spirit, exacerbating palpitations and insomnia.Translate the following text to en, maintaining the original format but without adding any symbols: .
soTrue liver soothing requires nourishing heart yang and unblocking liver collaterals from the rootWhen the heart yang is sufficient, it allows the liver qi to flow naturally and smoothly; when the liver collaterals are unblocked, stagnant qi has a place to go and will no longer be obstructed.

However, it must be reminded that the most important aspect of traditional Chinese medicine is syndrome differentiation and treatment. Each person's constitution is different, and the complexity of syndromes varies. It is crucial not to use medications on your own. Always use them under the guidance of a professional physician based on syndrome differentiation to ensure both safety and effectiveness.
