When excessive liver fire leads to irritability, it is necessary to adjust your diet by reducing the intake of spicy and greasy foods, and consuming more light, vitamin-rich foods such as fresh vegetables and fruits to reduce the burden on the liver. Maintaining a regular routine, avoiding staying up late and excessive fatigue, helps regulate the endocrine system and alleviate liver fire. Learning to manage emotions and avoiding significant emotional fluctuations can relieve stress through activities such as meditation, yoga, or walking, thus maintaining a calm state of mind. Engaging in appropriate physical exercise, such as jogging or swimming, can also help relieve stress and improve symptoms of excessive liver fire. If the above methods fail to provide effective relief, it is recommended to seek timely medical attention and consult a professional physician.
