Why do many people have liver depression problems, and the symptoms of liver depression, but the liver-qi-regulating and depression-relieving medicine you used didn’t work?
It’s because your own qi is deficient.
Zhu Danxi said, excessive theorizing depletes qi and harms essence, what does this mean?
Because theorizing will inevitably deplete qi, as qi is consumed during movement. In addition, qi depression can also hinder the normal flow of qi.
If your own issue is qi deficiency, no matter how much qi-regulating medicine you use, it won’t work. Therefore, not all patients with liver depression should use Xiaoyao Pills, a large amount of Qingpi, Chenpi, to regulate qi. Sometimes, if you feel the effect is not good after taking them, it indicates that the patient’s body condition is not suitable for regulating qi.
Qi and blood are very deficient. It is necessary to first nurture the body, let the body’s spleen and stomach digestive system recover first, replenish the qi and blood, the body will expel cold, the internal organs will gradually warm up, the functions will gradually return to normal, and only then can you regulate the liver and relieve depression.
Therefore, the basic function of the spleen and stomach in the body is very important. To eliminate pathogenic factors, one method is challenging, and using potent medicine is likely to cause harm. When the normal digestive function is restored, even with strong medication, the medicine will only cure the disease without harming the person. Sometimes, you may experience strong reactions after taking medication, but after the reaction subsides, you feel comfortable, indicating that it is a targeted treatment.
Therefore, when it comes to liver qi stagnation, first, check if there are emotional issues, and second, see if the conditions for regulating the liver and relieving depression are met. If you really want to use Xiaoyao Pills, but your tongue is pale, your moss is white, you feel weak, sleepy, and lethargic, I recommend combining with a qi-blood-nourishing prescription like Guipi Pill or Buzhong Yiqi Pill.
