Clearing Liver Fire: Dietary Regulation is Key
1. Increase consumption of bitter foods such as bitter melon, almonds, and bitter vegetables, which help clear internal heat and reduce fire.
2. Choose cooling fruits and vegetables such as celery, watermelon, pears, bananas, and grapefruit, which effectively clear liver fire.
3. Drinking herbal infusions is also a good option, such as chrysanthemum, honeysuckle, and forsythia, all of which help reduce liver fire.
It is also important to maintain regular eating habits, minimize intake of fried and spicy foods, and avoid other irritants that may加重 the liver's workload. Proper dietary regulation can effectively alleviate discomfort caused by excessive liver fire and help protect liver health.
