How much do you know about the effects of Shugan Congee? Let's learn about it together.

Promote digestion and absorption. The liver's function of dispersing and discharging helps the spleen and stomach to rise and fall and the secretion of bile to maintain normal digestion and absorption functions. If the liver fails to disperse and discharging, it may affect the rise and fall of the spleen and stomach and the excretion of bile, resulting in symptoms of abnormal digestive function, such as loss of appetite, indigestion, belching and acid reflux, or abdominal distension, diarrhea, etc., which is called "liver-stomach disharmony" or "liver-spleen disharmony" in traditional Chinese medicine.

Maintain the circulation of Qi, blood and body fluids. The function of the liver to dredge and release directly affects the smoothness of Qi. If the liver fails to dredge and release, Qi will be blocked, which may cause chest, flank, breast or lower abdominal distension and pain. Qi is the driving force of blood circulation. When Qi flows, blood flows, and when Qi stagnates, blood stagnates. If the liver fails to dredge and release, Qi stagnates and blood stagnates, chest and flank pain may be seen, and even symptoms and lumps may occur. Women may also experience menstrual disorders, dysmenorrhea and amenorrhea.

Hiding blood:

Secondly, the liver governs tendons and stores blood, and blood nourishes tendons, so tendons are the essence of the liver. If the liver blood is sufficient, the tendons can be nourished, the tendons are strong, the joints of the limbs are flexible, and they can bend and stretch freely, which will give people a sense of fitness; if the liver blood is insufficient, the tendons are not nourished, and the joints can be flexed and stretched unfavorably at the mildest, and numbness of the limbs, stiffness of the tendons, and even twitching and tremors of the hands and feet, opisthotonos, etc., will lose the fitness posture.

The liver has the function of storing blood and regulating blood volume. When the human body is resting or emotionally stable, the body's blood demand decreases, and a large amount of blood is stored in the liver; when working or emotionally excited, the body's blood demand increases, and the liver discharges the stored blood to supply the needs of the body's activities. If the liver's blood storage function is abnormal, it will cause blood deficiency or bleeding. If the liver blood is insufficient and cannot nourish the eyes, the eyes will be dry and blurred, or night blindness will occur; if the tendons and veins are not nourished, the tendons and veins will be tight, the limbs will be numb, and the flexion and extension will be difficult.
