Liver qi stagnation manifests itself as distension and pain in the flanks, chest tightness or nausea and vomiting, loss of appetite, abdominal distension, intestinal rumbling and abdominal pain; women may experience irregular menstruation, breast pain, and dysmenorrhea. Commonly used medicines include bupleurum, white peony root, aurantium, cyperus rotundus, curcuma, corydalis, tangerine peel, etc. Clinical considerations: When using the method of soothing the liver and regulating qi, attention should be paid to understanding the main symptoms of depression. Long-term use of dispersing products can easily damage Qi and Yin. Therefore, clinically, patients with blood deficiency and Qi deficiency must use them together with blood-nourishing and Qi-invigorating drugs.

Soothing the liver and regulating qi, that is, soothing the liver, is a method of treatment that relieves liver qi stagnation. According to the Five Elements, the liver belongs to wood and its nature is smooth and unobstructed. It is responsible for the release of emotions and is the organ that stores blood. If emotions are not fulfilled, the liver wood will not be smooth and the liver body will not be soft, which will cause the liver qi to be rebellious and stagnant, resulting in various pathological changes. Soothing the liver and regulating qi has the effect of regulating the liver's qi and restoring liver function.
