The regulation of excessive liver fire can be approached from the following aspects:
1. Dietary Regulation: Consume more vegetables and fruits rich in vitamin C, such as carrots, pomelos, and strawberries. Avoid fried, spicy, and high-calorie foods to reduce the burden on the liver. Drink plenty of water; steeping chrysanthemum and wolfberry may help clear liver fire.
2. Lifestyle Regulation: Maintain good daily routines, go to bed early and wake up early, and ensure sufficient sleep. Engage in moderate exercise, such as jogging or swimming, which can help regulate excessive liver fire.
3. Emotional Regulation: Maintain a happy and comfortable mood, avoid anger, and cultivate an optimistic and cheerful mindset.
4. Medication Regulation: Under a doctor's guidance, patients may take traditional Chinese herbal decoctions or patent medicines, such as Long Dan Xie Gan Wan (Dragon胆泻肝丸) or Xie Gan An Shen Wan (泻肝安神丸), to clear liver fire.
Patients with concerns are advised to seek timely medical consultation.
