In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), it is said that nurturing the liver well is equivalent to maintaining life. The liver is the commander of the human body; it is not only responsible for regulating the flow of Qi throughout the body but also manages the storage of blood, providing nourishment to all parts of the body. Smooth liver Qi flow aids in the circulation of Qi and blood; meanwhile, it stores blood and transports nutrients to various body parts.

If the liver is not healthy, it will affect the Qi and blood circulation throughout the body. For example, Liver Qi stagnation, where Qi flow is obstructed, may over time lead to blood stasis, accumulation of dampness transforming into heat within the body, causing symptoms such as dry mouth and throat, dizziness and tinnitus, and emotional irritability.

When liver blood is insufficient, the limbs lack nourishment from blood, which may lead to issues such as numbness in the hands and feet or cramping. Additionally, the liver is closely related to the eyes. Insufficient liver blood can deprive the eyes of nourishment, resulting in dryness and blurred vision.

If you experience these issues, you may consider three medicinal herbs brewed in water for liver nourishment: white peony root, Chinese angelica root, and wolfberry.

White peony root helps to pacify liver qi and alleviate pain; Chinese angelica root can replenish blood and promote blood circulation, both supplementing liver blood and enhancing the flow of qi and blood to prevent blood stasis; wolfberry nourishes the liver and kidneys, improves vision, replenishes the essence of the liver and kidneys, and alleviates dryness and blurriness in the eyes. These three herbs work synergistically to regulate liver qi, nourish liver yin, and supplement liver blood, comprehensively supporting liver health.
