III - FORMULA THAT TREATS THE STAGNATION OF BLOOD AND IQ IN THE LIVER
In men, Liver Qi stagnation arises independently of emotional problems. It is the result of stress or frustration. In women it is usually secondary to liver blood deficiency by the menstrual cycle.
Qi needs Blood to fix and exist while the Blood needs the Qi to move. If the Blood is deficient the qi becomes stagnant and if the blood is insufficient the qi disappears.
Therefore, stagnation is subordinate to disability of blood from the liver and the pulse becomes chopped or thin and the symptoms present with:
- Stagnation of qi with irritability
- Premenstrual tension and breast distension
- mental depression
- Irritation with distension and chest discomfort
The sigh is a sign of trying to relieve the stagnation of Qi.
