What happens if liver qi stagnation is serious?

Liver qi stagnation is very harmful to health. If it is not treated and cared for well, it will often lead to more serious situations and easily induce some serious diseases. It often causes symptoms of depression, may cause lesions in the throat, lead to some lesions in the digestive system, often cause some thyroid diseases, etc. Therefore, the harm is relatively large and must be treated in time.

What happens if liver qi stagnation is serious?

Well, if you have the following symptoms, it is very likely that your liver qi is not flowing smoothly. If you cannot regulate yourself well, you need to receive special diagnosis and treatment, and you must not take it lightly!

1. Depression and irritability

One of the symptoms of liver qi stagnation is low mood, so if you are often irritable, angry, and depressed, you should take care of your liver as soon as possible to avoid affecting your health and life due to poor liver qi.

2. The liver meridian runs in a congested area

The lower abdomen, throat, top of the head, etc. are the places where the liver meridian runs, so if you experience pain or stuffiness in these areas, it means that your liver qi is stagnant.

3. Throat lesions

The throat is one of the parts where the liver meridian runs, so if the liver qi is stagnant, it is easy to cause a foreign body sensation in the throat. If it is not treated in time, it can easily induce discomfort such as lumps in the neck.

4. Digestive system diseases

As mentioned earlier, liver qi stagnation will affect the spleen and stomach, and if it is not treated in time, it will also cause great harm to the body's digestive function, and can easily induce physical discomfort such as loss of appetite and abdominal distension.

Taking thyroid disease as an example, Chinese medicine believes that the path of the disease is: liver qi stagnation, which crosses the spleen, causing the spleen to fail to function properly, internal generation of phlegm, and the combination of phlegm and qi, which ascends through the meridians and accumulates at the Adam's apple.

As the saying goes, "anger hurts the liver." When you are angry, the first part of your body to be hurt is your liver. Do we often feel pain in our ribs after getting angry? It is because of anger that liver qi stagnation and liver-gallbladder disharmony occur. What's worse, it may affect the secretion of bile, causing indigestion, stomach pain and diarrhea.
