From the perspective of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the process of disease development from the heart to the body is complex and variable, but it always begins with the first step: liver qi stagnation (肝郁气滞, gan yu qi zhi).Individuals with this condition often feel melancholic, experience a sensation of tightness in the chest, and may even have pain in the sides of the body, frequently sighing.For various issues caused by liver qi stagnation, the best approach is to seek medical advice for differential diagnosis and treatment, including the oral administration of certain Chinese patent medicines, such as Xiao Yao San (逍遥散) and Yue Ju Wan (越鞠丸), as well as professional acupuncture.So how can one self-regulate and prevent liver qi stagnation?A suitable daily herbal tea substitute is Si Hua Cha (四花茶, Four Flower Tea), which is beneficial for those prone to irritability or for beauty and skin care.【Ingredients】3 grams of Mei Gui Hua (玫瑰花, Rose), 3 grams of Ye Ju Hua (野菊花, Wild Chrysanthemum), 3 grams of Yue Ji Hua (月季花, Monthly Rose), and 3 grams of Bai Mei Hua (白梅花, White Plum Blossom).Both Mei Gui Hua, Yue Ji Hua, and Bai Mei Hua help to soothe the liver and regulate qi, while Ye Ju Hua can both soothe the liver and clear heat from the heart and liver.【Contraindications】Individuals with spleen and stomach deficiency and those prone to diarrhea, especially those with morning diarrhea, should avoid this tea.Pressing two acupuncture points: Da Bao (大包穴, Great Embrace Point) and Zhang Men (章门穴, Chapter Gate Point) can help us soothe the liver and relieve stagnation.
Appropriate exercise can help to relax the body and improve our mood.It is recommended for friends who are feeling down, have poor emotions, liver qi stagnation, or spleen deficiency to consider reducing overthinking and increasing physical activity, as fitness can resolve many health issues.Copyright Statement:
