Dr. Zhang Ziyi
The common approach to managing dry mouth and a bitter taste caused by excessive liver fire involves regulating the body through proper sleep, regular exercise, and a light diet. It is important to get adequate rest, avoid staying up late, and try to go to bed before 11 p.m. to maintain optimal liver function. Exercise helps induce sweating and reduces the accumulation of toxins in the body. A light diet means consuming less spicy and greasy food, thereby reducing the metabolic burden on the liver.
