When liver fire is excessive, the following methods can be used for regulation:
1. Dietary adjustment: Eat more vegetables and fruits rich in vitamin C, such as carrots, pomelos, and strawberries. Drink plenty of water and consider drinking chrysanthemum and wolfberry tea to help clear liver fire. Avoid fried, spicy, and high-calorie foods to reduce the burden on the liver.
2. Improvement of lifestyle habits: Go to bed early and wake up early, ensuring sufficient sleep and avoiding staying up late. Additionally, appropriate exercise can help regulate excessive liver fire.
3. Emotional management: Maintain a happy and comfortable mood, avoiding anger and irritation, to promote liver health.
4. Medication: Under the guidance of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), patients may take herbal medicines such as Long Dan Xie Gan Wan (Dragon胆Liver-Draining Pill) or Xie Gan An Shen Wan (Liver-Clearing and Spirit-Soothing Pill) to clear liver fire.
Patients with concerns are advised to seek timely medical consultation.
