Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. He Haochen
The causes of excessive liver fire include the following points:
1. Emotional factors: Long-term emotional depression or sudden outbursts of anger can easily lead to stagnation of liver qi or excessive upward movement of qi, thus triggering excessive liver fire.
2. Dietary factors: Frequent consumption of spicy, greasy, and irritating foods, as well as excessive alcohol intake, can increase internal heat, affect liver blood circulation, and induce liver fire.
3. Lifestyle habits: Unhealthy lifestyle habits such as high work pressure, long-term late nights, and lack of physical activity may lead to yin deficiency and internal heat, thereby worsening liver fire symptoms.
4. Disease-related factors: Underlying conditions such as hypertension, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, hepatitis, drug-induced hepatitis, and fatty liver hepatitis may cause liver damage, manifesting as excessive liver fire.
