The symptoms of excessive liver fire typically manifest as a series of physical discomforts. Emotionally, individuals may become easily irritable, angry, anxious, and have difficulty controlling their emotions. Physically, symptoms such as headache, dizziness, and tinnitus may occur, sometimes accompanied by facial flushing, red eyes, dry mouth, and a bitter taste. Those with excessive liver fire may also experience decreased sleep quality, such as frequent dreams and easy awakening during the night, leading to fatigue and reduced alertness during the day. The digestive system can also be affected, resulting in poor appetite and abdominal distension. If excessive liver fire persists, it may lead to other health problems such as hypertension and heart disease. When these symptoms appear, it is important to adjust lifestyle habits promptly and seek medical attention when necessary.
