The methods for clearing liver fire include the following:
1. Dietary Regulation: Choose light, vitamin-rich foods such as fresh vegetables and fruits, especially those with heat-clearing properties, such as bitter melon, cucumber, and mung beans. Avoid spicy, greasy, and irritating foods.
2. Herbal Regulation: You may choose patent herbal medicines such as Zhibai Dihuang Pills or Qiju Dihuang Pills for regulation, or use herbal teas such as chrysanthemum and wolfberry, which can help clear liver fire.
3. Lifestyle Habits: Maintain good作息 habits, avoid staying up late, and ensure adequate sleep. Quit smoking, limit alcohol consumption, maintain emotional stability, and reduce stress.
4. Physical Exercise: Moderate physical activities such as Wuqinxi (Five Animal Exercises), Tai Chi, and Baduanjin can help harmonize the body's yin-yang balance and alleviate symptoms of excessive liver fire.
If symptoms persist or worsen, timely medical consultation is recommended.
