Introduction
Frequent sighing is a manifestation of liver qi stagnation. It can be treated with Chinese patent medicines such as Shugan Jieyu Capsules, Chaihu Shugan Pills, and Pinggan Shuluo Pills, depending on symptoms. Besides these common medications, other drugs like Xiaoyao Pills may also help improve sighing. Patients with liver qi stagnation should adopt habits such as eating small, frequent meals in daily life and consume more foods that help soothe the liver, relieve depression, and regulate qi flow.
Constant sighing is a manifestation of liver qi stagnation. Depending on the symptoms, treatment may include Chinese patent medicines such as Shugan Jieyu Capsules, Chaihu Shugan Pills, and Pinggan Shuluo Pills.
1. Shugan Jieyu Capsules: Composed of ingredients including Hypericum perforatum (Guan Ye Jin Si Tao) and Acanthopanax senticosus (Ci Wu Jia), these capsules help soothe the liver, relieve depression, strengthen the spleen, and calm the mind. They are primarily used to treat symptoms caused by liver depression and spleen deficiency, such as low mood, frequent sighing, irritability, anger, and fatigue. Patients who frequently sigh can generally be treated with Shugan Jieyu Capsules.
2. Chaihu Shugan Pills: These pills mainly function to soothe the liver, regulate qi, relieve bloating, and alleviate pain. They can help ease symptoms such as chest and rib discomfort, indigestion, and frequent sighing caused by impaired liver qi flow.
3. Pinggan Shuluo Pills: These pills are effective in calming the liver, promoting circulation in the meridians, invigorating blood, and dispelling wind. They are suitable for treating symptoms like distending pain in the chest and ribs, frequent sighing, and numbness in hands and feet due to liver qi stagnation and poor meridian circulation.
In addition to the above commonly used medications, other drugs such as Xiaoyao Pills may also help improve sighing. In daily life, patients should develop habits such as eating small, frequent meals, avoiding greasy or sweet foods, and consuming more foods that help soothe the liver, relieve depression, and regulate qi.
