Liver fire hyperactivity is usually caused by negative emotions, heat accumulation, and unhealthy lifestyle habits, leading to stagnation of qi in the liver and overstrain of the liver, which damages liver tissue and impairs the metabolism of toxins, fluids, and gases. Excessive heat accumulating in the liver results in liver fire hyperactivity. The main treatment approaches focus on clearing liver heat and enhancing liver function.
