Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. He Haochen
Liver fire excess is mainly caused by the following factors:
1. Improper diet: Prolonged intake of spicy and stimulating foods, such as chili peppers and onions, may lead to the spleen and stomach being unable to digest promptly, affecting liver function, and thus causing liver fire excess.
2. Emotional factors: Emotional agitation and repressed anger can easily damage the liver, leading to rising liver fire.
3. Lifestyle habits: Unhealthy habits, such as staying up late and overexertion, may increase the burden on the liver, impairing its detoxification and metabolic functions, thereby triggering liver fire excess.
4. Disease influence: Certain illnesses, such as colds, may cause reduced immunity, affect liver function, and subsequently induce liver fire excess.
To prevent liver fire excess, it is recommended to maintain healthy lifestyle habits, adjust dietary patterns, keep a good emotional state, and undergo regular medical check-ups to detect and treat potential health issues promptly.
