Chapter 13 Warm link: Yin wood and disease

What kind of diseases can Yinmu personality bring to people? Yin wood character damages the liver and brings diseases of the liver and gallbladder system. The "Huangdi Neijing" says that the liver belongs to wood and flourishes in spring. The liver governs catharsis and stores blood.Therefore, diseases of the liver system mainly include the following: The first is the disease of the liver itself.Such as hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, liver ascites, fatty liver, liver cancer and so on.Common symptoms are distending pain in the chest, abdomen and lower abdomen, and pain, accompanied by symptoms of the splenic system such as loss of appetite.

Because the liver and gallbladder are exterior and interior, the liver is the viscera, and the gallbladder is the internal organs, so gallbladder disease is also a disease of the liver system.Such as cholecystitis, gallstones and so on.Symptoms such as bitter mouth, yellow complexion, palpitations and insomnia may also belong to gallbladder disease. The liver generates wind, the liver governs the tendons, and the liver opens to the eyes. Therefore, wind diseases, eye diseases, and tendon problems also belong to diseases of the liver system. The "Huangdi Neijing" says "all winds that reduce dizziness belong to the liver."Such symptoms include dizziness, vision loss, night blindness, limb tremor, tetany, stroke, crooked mouth and eyes, hemiplegia, etc.

Deafness and toothache may also be diseases of the liver system, because the circulation of the liver and gallbladder meridian passes through these parts. Lumps and galls on the neck are also diseases of the liver system, often caused by stagnation of liver qi. The liver governs anger, anger hurts the liver, and liver disease makes people more prone to anger.If a person likes to get angry very much, even if there are no obvious symptoms, we can judge that he is in a sub-healthy state of the liver system.
