Liver patterns. traditional chinese medicine
The sages of the East worked for more than 5,000 years and created the doctrine of preserving life, strengthening and increasing one’s health.
“All diseases come from nerves,” people usually say. Western and Eastern medicine talk about this, doctors and healers talk about it. Is this fair? We'll try to figure it out too.
Emotions are a certain type of energy. Energy can carry both a positive and negative charge. The presence of an equal number of these charges is called "harmony".
- Along with joy there is sadness and sadness;
- with calm - anxiety;
- with fear - courage and faith;
- with activity – depression;
- with doubts - determination and action.
Man is a living, feeling, thinking creature, and all emotions are useful for him. It’s another matter when this or that emotion is present for a long time or excessively. Then inner mental turmoil and anxiety sets in, which already entails health problems. Thus, excessive resentment can cause disruption of the movement of energy (qi) of the liver and the cleansing function of the liver. Then the liver qi soars up, the blood follows it, blocking all the holes used for cleansing. This condition is called "fainting."
Why do we need negative emotions? Living a joyful and happy life is always good. But the outside world and man himself cannot remain in one state for a long time - this is the law of the Universe. Everything is in constant motion, everything flows, everything changes. The world changes - people change too. And that's great! As long as his life is filled with feelings, emotions, experiences, he remains a Human. From each such change we become wiser, we learn about life, people, ourselves. Whatever the situation or condition, they are ours. They are given to us to live them, understand them, draw the right conclusions and move on.
And now about the liver itself - the “queen of emotions”
The liver is one of the largest storage organs (zang organ) in our body. In a pair (like husband and wife), the liver is located with the gall bladder (fu-organ). The liver's task is to accumulate and supply juices, blood, and energy (qi) to the organs. According to the Chinese, the liver controls the eyes, vision, muscle tone, which causes tension or relaxation of all muscles, as well as ligaments and nails. The liver controls the quantity and quality of blood, is responsible for the uniform flow of qi in the body and the balance of emotions.
The liver and gall bladder are associated with the energy of wood and wind, and this is birth, the beginning of development, rapid growth, childhood. Children (from 1 year to 10 years) are curious, restless, restless, and very inquisitive. They are interested in everything, they ask a lot of questions. If a child is given normal conditions in the family, he will grow up to be inquisitive, generous, open, and with great creative abilities. Unfavorable conditions can give rise to stubbornness, cruelty, intolerance, and anger.
The liver cannot tolerate pressure. In many cases, neuroses develop only because in infancy and early childhood the baby was subjected to pressure: moral, from academic workload, additional activities (art schools, music schools, dancing, swimming pool, etc.), from excessive demands of parents.
The liver loves relaxation and freedom. Everything that grows requires space; only then can the fruits set and ripen. If the child is more active, you should not calm down (slow down) his nervous system; you should harmonize the liver, help him gain energy and blood, and breathe freely.
The liver is a “dreamer”. It determines our vision of life, and the gallbladder determines the readiness for conflict, perseverance and courage in creating plans. An adult with a “wind constitution” generates many ideas, makes discoveries, is extraordinary in his thinking, and is extravagant. Loves to create, invent, travel and learn a lot. He's a bad businessman.
If the liver is excited, a person reacts to everything with irritation, annoyance and anger. It seems to him that he is being squeezed, that his living space and happiness are being encroached upon. His weakness and aggression do not allow him to take a creative approach to solving life problems.
We gain much more space thanks to the desire to develop, following our dreams, needs, doing what we love, creating comfort in our family and a large circle of friends.
Anger is a huge amount of chi energy that needs to be channeled into a creative direction. For example, instead of shouting, raising your voice, stomping your feet, breaking dishes, it is more useful to dig up your garden. This is hot anger.
Cold anger is much more difficult to deal with because the person does not feel that he is angry and generally refuses to notice this problem. He begins to complain, blame everyone for his sins, strives to make the world revolve around him, or seeks salvation in alcohol. Alcohol, with its pungent taste, will dispel the stagnant energy (qi) of the liver and eliminate depression only temporarily. Then everything will come back with a vengeance. A vicious circle of dependence, helplessness, and inability to make decisions and act develops.
Disturbances in the liver and gall bladder are caused not only by emotions, but also by regimen, nutrition, and external factors. Each organ of our body has maximum activity and minimum activity of qi energy for 2 hours during the day. Thus, the gallbladder and liver from 23.00 - 3.00 have maximum energy activity in the corresponding meridians, and from 11.00 - 15.00 - minimum. Taking this into account, it is necessary to allow the liver and gall bladder to rest at night, accumulate energy and blood (Yang and Yin).
Each organ has exit holes on the body. For the liver, these “windows” are the eyes. Therefore, contemplating beauty with our eyes, we calm the liver, and therefore our nervous system. Straining our eyes in front of a computer monitor at night, we waste energy, become excited and cannot fall asleep until 3-4 am. This is how a painful condition such as insomnia gradually develops.
Eating requires a lot of energy and juices. Eating late does not allow the liver to accumulate enough blood and energy by the morning. This means that the liver will not be able to transfer its energy reserves to the heart, spleen and stomach for work. During the day we will feel overwhelmed and tired.
The liver organ corresponds to a sour taste. If there is a constant taste of sour in the mouth or a person cannot tolerate sour, then this indicates an excess of liver energy. In the food cycle (according to the Wu Xing system), sour and cold foods strengthen yin in the heart and weaken yang in the spleen and stomach. The stomach and spleen gradually cool down, stop processing food in full and become ill.
Digestive disorders lead to stagnation and fermentation of food in the intestines and all the ensuing consequences. Sour and cold foods are yoghurts and southern fruits (citrus fruits) - a typical diet for weight loss. Up to 30 years of age, such a diet can lead to short-term weight loss due to the use of body reserves donated by parents, and after 30 years of age, the diet rarely brings a lasting effect, since at this age the amount of natural qi in the organs decreases, and “thanks to” the qi diet is not replenished . Against this background, chronic diseases begin to develop; including osteoporosis.
In spring, wind energy dominates. The wind blows, sways the branches and leaves. During this period, colds occur more often. The wind can be strong and gusty - Yang, light and long lasting - Yin. Who among us, having caught a cold at least once, has not experienced headaches, stiff neck muscles and nasal congestion? This could be from gusty winds, from being in a draft for a long time, from the air conditioner (in a car, apartment, office) or on the beach under the hot sun with a gentle breeze.
The points located on the back of the head and neck, lying along the gallbladder meridian, are called “wind gates”. Through them, the wind penetrates the meridian and causes the movement of energy (qi) to stop and the sensations described above. To protect yourself from the effects of the wind, you should simply wear a scarf.
Wind energy is characterized by manifestations in the form of:
- itching, but not very pronounced and not painful,
- lacrimation,
- increased blood pressure,
- headache (migraine),
- dizziness,
- loss of consciousness,
- muscle spasms, decreased tone.
The liver nourishes the ligaments and tendons, and the muscles contract due to good nutrition, blood supply to the ligaments and fascia. The ligamentous apparatus of the eye is responsible for the function of accommodation and movement of the eyeballs. When the liver functions abnormally, various eye diseases develop. A lack of blood in the liver manifests itself as “night blindness” (reduced twilight vision), causes muscle cramps, brittle nails and lack of shine. Various disturbances in the functioning of this organ, which is so important for us, are visible even to the naked eye. You just need to want to be healthy. published

Liver
In Chinese medicine, the concept of “liver” refers to the organ itself, the left and right sides of the body at the level of the liver, as well as the direct functions of the liver: supplying Qi energy to each organ and system in a certain order. This is expressed in the distribution, purification and removal of certain substances from the body. In addition, the liver serves as a collection site for blood (during sleep), and serves as its regulator. The liver also regulates the production of bile in the gallbladder, controls the condition of ligaments and tendons, and is also responsible for the condition of the eyes (visual acuity, the ability to distinguish colors).The supply of organs with Qi energy in a certain sequence is expressed in the distribution, purification and release of certain substances from the human body.
If there is a lack of Qi energy in the liver, a person may experience pathologies in the gastrointestinal tract, and problems in the psycho-emotional sphere may also begin. A lack of Liver Qi can result in a depressed person, and at the same time in irritability and restlessness. In women, this leads to irregular periods. If the Qi energy in the liver is too active, a person becomes emotionally unbalanced, problems with sleep begin, nightmares, and headaches occur. However, the reverse order is also true: liver qi disturbance can also occur due to emotional instability (excessive anger or depression). It follows that for liver health it is necessary to avoid depressive moods or outbursts of anger.
The blood always moves with the Qi energy, like a shadow. Therefore, if Qi stagnates in the liver, blood does not circulate, pain appears in the chest area, bleeding from cuts can last for an inordinately long time, and women’s menstruation is disrupted. If at the same time a person allows himself outbursts of anger, the whites of the eyes may become cloudy; anger can also provoke the release of blood through the throat (as a result of improper flow of Qi energy).
The liver indirectly controls the functioning of the stomach and spleen, thereby facilitating better processing of food.
The function of the liver as a blood storehouse is to accumulate it and remove certain volumes of blood during physical movements and muscle tension. With liver pathologies, a lack of blood in various organs may occur. Blood diseases, cramps in the limbs, dizziness, irregular menstruation, and bleeding from the nose and throat may also occur.
Only a healthy liver can ensure normal supply of nutrients to the muscular system. The health and normal functionality of the tendons also depends on the health of the liver. Muscle cramps in the arms and legs occur when the liver does not supply blood correctly.
If the skin of the legs takes on an unhealthy color, it is possible that liver diseases are “reflected” in the legs like in a mirror. The “window” of the liver is the eyes. With various liver pathologies, a change in eye color may be observed; pain and blurred vision are also present.
Kidneys
In Eastern medicine, the concept of “kidney” includes the organ itself, the ears, hair on the head, the skeletal system, the urinary and reproductive systems, and the lower back. The kidneys include their functions - accumulation of Jing (seed, base), synthesis of nervous tissue (bone and spinal cord), correction of hearing abilities, distribution of water throughout the body, control of the skeletal system.The fundamental principle Jing, stored and accumulated in the kidneys, binds to the kidney qi. Together they create the Jing-Qi energy - the energetic basis of life, which is transmitted to a person by parents from the moment of conception to the moment of birth. Starting from infancy, the amount of Jing-Qi in the kidneys continuously increases. As a result of this, a person grows, becomes stronger, and matures. Jing-Qi accumulates until approximately 18-20 years of age. At the peak of human sexuality, Jing-Qi is at its highest level. At this time, the man is able to synthesize sperm normally and is ready to copulate with a woman. The woman begins to have regular menstruation, and the time comes that is ideal for having children. Jing-Qi partially leaves the man's body at the time of fertilization of a woman; a woman loses reserves of Jing-Qi during pregnancy and childbirth. During the aging process, Jing-Qi reserves gradually decrease, kidney function slows down, and the ability to fertilize and bear a fetus is lost. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle can significantly slow down the natural loss of Jing Chi energy.
Stagnation, Fire, Wind - robber brothers from the Gepato family
If we consider the liver from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), the peculiarity of this organ is that its problems usually manifest themselves as “full” syndromes, fever syndromes. Chinese diagnoses Liver Qi Stagnation, Liver Fire, and Liver Wind- three diseases that are interconnected. If exists liver qi stagnation, this means that it will appear soon fire, which in turn will cause wind syndrome... However, not everything is so bad - for each stage there are medicines, natural, herbal, native...
Volodushka, Gentian, Gastrodia - three warriors from the Fito clan
● Will remove congestion in the liver - Volodushka: chai hu
The name of this plant is like a song: both “will” and “soul” are heard, and it blows with caress. Historians say that the Russian word “volodushka” is related to the word “to own.” The grass was credited with magical properties and used in love spells. Other popular names - ailment, liverwort, gallstone, goldenwort, sunwort- no less beautiful and significant.
Volodushka is not just one plant. Genus Bupleurum family Celery (Umbelliferae) - Apiaceae (Umbelliferae) has more than 150 species of herbaceous and shrub plants, growing mainly in the subtropical and temperate zones of the Eastern Hemisphere. Many of them are used for medical purposes. The lists of diseases that different types of plants fight are similar. First of all, these are problems of the liver, gall bladder and digestion, gynecological diseases, purulent diseases with fever.
Previously mentioned Capsule colefolia (Bupleurum scorzonerifoliumWilld.) used to treat cholecystitis, angiocholitis and hepatitis. Grass Siberian voluptica (Bupleurum sibiricumVest.) has choleretic, anti-inflammatory and wound healing effects. And known to many golden capillary (Bupleurum aureum Fisch. ax Hoffm.) changes the chemical composition of bile, increases the content of bile acids, bilirubin and cholesterol.
Since ancient times, milkweed has been known in Korea, China, Japan and Tibet as a medicinal raw material. In Chinese medicine, this is a pharmacopoeial plant called c hai hu . Or rather, that’s what the roots are called chinensis (Bupleurum chinense DC.), or gocelelefolia. First mentions of c hai hu found in the “Canon of Herbal Science of the Sacred Farmer” (“Shen-nong ben cao jing”) - and this work is more than two thousand years old.
According to TCM, the vulvodushka, which has bitter And pungent taste with properties " coolness", acts on the channels of the pericardium, liver, three heaters and gall bladder, “resolves the surface of the body, calms the liver, removes stagnation, raises “failed” yang.” It is used in decoctions and preparations with liver qi stagnation syndrome with distension and pain in the sides, bitterness in the mouth, dry throat and ripples in the eyes.
Volodushka is the main medicinal component in Chinese medicines for the treatment of the liver. And what’s gratifying is that the grass that our population needs grows in the vast expanses of our country, meaning it can help everyone. Like its “colleague” gentian...
● Extinguishes the fire of the liver - Gentian: long dan
This is the second herb on our list to help your liver. Only it is intended to a greater extent to fight fire! Firefighter, in a word... Cute blue flowers gentians, living in swamps and damp forest edges, apparently, more than once found their way into readers’ bouquets. And hardly - in medicinal preparations, although the name of the plant speaks for itself!
Genus Gentian ( Gentiana) of the Gentian family ( Gentianaceae) includes more than 400 species of annual and perennial herbaceous plants. Of these, ninety species are grown specially. Gentian flowers are not always blue; there are species with yellow and even white corollas. And the taste is really bitter, especially at the roots. It is not surprising that such a number of “relatives” have captured almost all continents, except, perhaps, Africa and Antarctica - from the tundra and highlands to the tropics. Many of them are good for health, but now we are interested in the “liver” properties.
In TCM, these herbs from the Gentian genus are classified as a group of medicinal raw materials called long d an . These include Gentian Arisan (Gentiana arisanensis Hayata), gentian Manchurian (G. manshurica Kitag.), gentian rigescens (G. rigescens Franch.), gentian trifloral (G. triflora Pall.), gentian rough (G. scabra Buge.). The roots of these plants contain bitterness, alkaloids and flavonoids.
Long d an - these are dried and chopped roots of the above-mentioned types of gentian, which have a bitter taste, “cold” properties and tropism (affinity) for the channels of the liver, gall bladder and bladder. The roots are harvested in the fall, cleaned and quickly dried at a temperature of 50–60 degrees. Their main action in the TCM aspect is: “eliminate damp heat, extinguish fire in the liver and gall bladder”; translated into the language of European medicine, this means: they reduce temperature and have anti-inflammatory properties.
The medicine in the form of a decoction of 3-6 g per day is used for jaundice, tumors, itchy eczema, hair damage, convulsions, headaches with red eyes and hearing loss, pain in the hypochondrium and bitterness in the mouth; with itching of the vagina with profuse leucorrhoea in women or if the urine acquires a reddish tint.
● Protects the liver from wind - Gastrodia: tian ma
Interesting for preparing medicine gastrodia tubers - tian m a. They are dug up in the fall, washed well, the peel is cut off, boiled in water, cut into slices and dried.
All TCM doctors know and respect this medicine. Tian ma has a tropism for the liver system, but, unlike previous medicines, this medicine is not bitter, but sweet. Such characteristics help it “expel the wind, stop convulsions, pacify the liver, reducing its yang hyperfunction.” Western medicine uses gastrodia as a general tonic for disorders of the nervous system, speech disorders, nervous exhaustion, and hypertension. Assign tian m a for headaches, dizziness, loss of sensation in the limbs, childhood convulsions, neurasthenia, epilepsy, tetanus, myoneuralgia, rheumatism, impotence.
Volodushka, gentian, gastrodia are such different plants, but they are united by a common task - to make our liver healthy. In this matter, the named plants, although not the only ones, are the main ones.
The liver is the most important organ of the human body’s energy mechanism. Liver (gan, 肝): located in the abdominal cavity under the diaphragm on the right side. It belongs to the element Wood. The liver supports the movement of Qi in the human body and stores Blood. The Liver Channel is called foot channel insufficient Liver Yin (zu jue yin gan jing, 足厥阴肝经). Paired organ – Gallbladder ( tribute, 胆); pair channel – foot channel of the small yang gallbladder (zu shao yang dan jing, 足少阳胆经). Of the five zang organs, the Liver is called Yang to Yin(Yin zhong zhi yang, 阴中之阳). The opening of the Liver opens in the eyes, among the tissues they correspond to ligaments, their splendor is visible on the nails, among the emotions of the Liver there corresponds anger, among the liquids there are tears, the Liver stores the Soul - Hun. In the human body, the liver performs the following functions: 1. Manages the unimpeded movement of [Qi] ( zhu shu xie, 主疏泄): The liver has the properties of unhindered movement, deployment, distribution, circulation; The liver maintains the free circulation of Qi throughout the body, maintaining the smooth functioning and movement of the energy mechanism. Under the energy mechanism ( qi ji, 气机) in Chinese medicine understand the combination of four basic types of Qi movement - raising ( sheng, 升), lowering ( Jiang, 降), outward movement ( chu, 出) and inward movements ( zhu, 入). Functioning of internal organs - zang and organs - fu, channels and collaterals, Qi and Blood, fluids - jing and liquids- e, began Yin and Yang, protective and nourishing Qi - all this is based on the activity of the energy mechanism. The movement and metamorphosis of the Qi of the whole organism are based on the movement and metamorphosis of the Qi of the Liver. The unhindered movement of Qi depends on the activity of the Liver. If this function of the Liver is normal, then the person is healthy and diseases do not occur. Maintaining the unimpeded movement of Qi by the Liver is embodied as follows:
- Supports the movement of Qi and Blood:

The work of all internal organs at a young age is carried out automatically, as if according to a certain schedule invented by nature.
But after 35, many begin to notice disruptions in the functioning of the biliary system; qigong for liver steatosis is a method that allows you to restore health. By influencing energy points through certain exercises - original receivers for Qi, you can get rid of the disease.
Liver Meridian: Chinese Medicine
Chinese medicine assures us that each vital organ has its own energy supply system. Just as oxygen spreads through our veins, nourishing our internal organs, so energy flows flow through invisible channels - meridians.
Each such meridian has a main point, literally - the intersection of many energy threads, and figuratively speaking - a ligament. Sometimes blockages of the ducts occur in these meridians - just as platelet cells can clog vessels, negative energy can block Qi the path to any organ in our body.
Typically, at a young age, such a problem is rare, but over the years, an abundance of stress, experienced grief and spent nerves make themselves felt. Finding no way out, such negative vibrations simply accumulate in our energy meridians, acting like blood clots in the veins.
This is how the disease develops - a clogged meridian cannot fully supply the liver with life-giving energy, and meanwhile there is a balanced circulation of energy Qi very important for the proper functioning of every cell in our body.
It is possible to restore the functioning of the liver and bile ducts through regular qigong exercises. In Chinese medicine, during practice, the liver channel is tapped with the hands, thereby activating it and eliminating blockages and clogged areas.
How to get rid of the disease and restore health
The most important organ, the liver, has a lot of “dirty” work to do. It is a kind of filter in our body that helps cleanse the blood. Naturally, when this organ is dysfunctional, the entire body suffers.
If the liver is not healthy, then it cannot fully produce special substances that break down fat cells. And in the future, these same fat cells accumulate abundantly in the tissues of the organ itself. Steatosis is excess fatty deposits in the liver.
It is noteworthy that Chinese medicine treats the liver in a special way. It is believed that she is literally the guardian of our blood; she cleanses our body while we sleep.
Modern Chinese know that problems with excess weight are closely related to dysfunctions of the biliary system - the body simply does not have enough energy to break down fats and get rid of waste.
To restore the health of an internal organ, the first step is to restore its ability to work in full mode. First, the liver will begin to produce lipid-breaking substances in the correct volume, after which it will begin to self-heal and heal itself, getting rid of fat deposits.
The regenerative properties of the liver were known to ancient scientists. Once you simply eliminate the cause of organ dysfunction, it immediately begins to heal itself, actively restoring and replacing its own cells. Our body has endowed our body with this ability for a reason - after all, it is the liver that is responsible for such a voluminous and grandiose job of cleansing and detoxifying our entire body.
So, the first priority is to remove blockages in the liver channels that prevent it from restoring health. Qigong will help with this - a special complex for the liver will break up all energy blockages and negative blockers.
Qigong for liver steatosis will be effective both as a separate practice and supplemented with other general strengthening exercises. But here it is important to follow the sequence - first perform a complex to restore the function of the internal organ and biliary tract, and only after that do other exercises.
Do not mix classes and systems with each other, because this will negate all the positive effects of practicing liver health.
Preparation for Eastern health practices

Before classes, ventilate the room to fill it with oxygen. Remember that energy Qi lives exclusively in an oxygen environment.
The more fresh air, the more life-giving energy it contains. Qi. If possible, practice outdoors - in the garden, yard, park or balcony.
Dress yourself in comfortable cotton clothes that don’t pinch or press on you anywhere, and get ready to receive a powerful flow Qi and healing your own body. Remember to practice qigong as often as possible to achieve positive results faster. The ideal time to practice is in the morning or before bedtime.
