Prolonged excessive liver fire may lead to yellowing of the face and skin in other areas. Liver fire is associated with improper diet, irregular作息 (daily routine), and emotional instability. If not properly regulated in time, it can cause symptoms such as dryness and sore throat, spleen and stomach imbalance, and in severe cases, indigestion and constipation. It is recommended to eat more fresh leafy vegetables and fruits, stay well-hydrated, ensure adequate rest, avoid frequent late nights, and maintain emotional stability.
