How does liver qi stagnation occur? Shi Wei said that the liver plays a leading role in the circulation of Qi. Various factors lead to poor circulation of Qi, resulting in liver depression. Emotional stimulation is most likely to affect the flow of Qi, which is manifested as "anger causes Qi to rise, joy causes Qi to slow down, sadness causes Qi to disappear, fear causes Qi to descend, shock causes Qi to become chaotic, and thinking causes Qi to become blocked."

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that human mental activities are not only controlled by the heart, but also related to the liver's function of dispersing and releasing. When liver function is normal, the human body can better coordinate its own mental and emotional activities, which manifests as a cheerful spirit, a good mood, and sharp thinking. If the liver cannot release the emotions properly, it will manifest as depression, worry, melancholy, urge to cry, belching and sighing, chest and flank distension, etc., which is called liver qi stagnation.

We say that the liver governs anger, and great anger leads to sadness. Many women have this experience, especially women in their 30s. When menstruation is about to come, the world becomes particularly dark. They get annoyed by everyone they see and get angry at the slightest provocation. Why is this? Because women are dominated by blood, the blood flows downward and the qi floats upward in the week before each menstruation. When the blood flows downward, the excess qi becomes fire, so women are prone to irritability. If a woman who originally had a good temper becomes particularly prone to anger, she should take good care of her liver.

So, how does liver qi stagnation occur? Shi Wei said that the liver plays a leading role in the circulation of Qi. Various factors lead to poor circulation of Qi, resulting in liver depression. Emotional stimulation is most likely to affect the circulation of Qi, which is manifested as "anger causes the Qi to rise, joy causes the Qi to slow down, sadness causes the Qi to disappear, fear causes the Qi to fall, shock causes the Qi to become chaotic, and thinking causes the Qi to become blocked." Long-term excessive stress can also affect the normal operation of Qi, leading to liver Qi stagnation; in addition, depression can also be caused by illness.

Liver-qi stagnation manifests itself differently in women of different age groups. According to Shi Wei, if it is a teenage girl, she often shows symptoms such as irregular menstruation, dysmenorrhea, irritability before menstruation, and acne on the face; if it is a mature woman, she often shows symptoms such as irregular menstruation, premenstrual lower abdominal and breast pain and lumps, flank pain, breast hyperplasia, facial chloasma, and bad temper; and in menopausal women, it is often irritability, nameless anger, mental tension and anxiety, panic, and dizziness; for elderly women, it is often manifested as rapid aging, depression, worry, restlessness, insomnia and nightmares. In fact, men can also suffer from liver qi stagnation, because men are under greater pressure and are not likely to talk to others easily to relieve their stress. In addition to the symptoms related to women, men may also have other manifestations of liver qi stagnation. Shi Wei smiled. However, that doesn’t matter. People with liver qi stagnation can take some Xiaoyao pills to soothe the liver and strengthen the spleen, nourish the blood and regulate menstruation.
