As the saying goes: nourishing the liver is nourishing life. The liver is an organ that gathers metabolism, detoxification, Defence, coagulation and other important functions. Once the liver is not good, people will also have all kinds of diseases.

Among them, the liver is closely related to sleep:

1. The quality of the liver determines the quality of sleep

The Yellow Emperor’s Inner Sutra Lingshu records the connection between various dreams and physical health, and believes that the heart, liver and lungs correspond to the soul of the human body respectively. According to the five elements, the liver is the main soul, the lungs are the main soul, and the soul will fly to dream. If a person often sleeps with insomnia and dreams, most of them have liver problems.

2. Lack of sleep can damage the liver

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that “when a person lies down, the blood belongs to the liver”, which means that when a person is asleep, the blood of the whole body will flow back to the liver for detoxification. About one-third of a person’s life is spent in sleep. If there is a long-term lack of sleep, it will lead to less blood reflux in the liver, and the body’s immunity will decline, resulting in damage to the liver. People with poor liver will have these four signs when they sleep, accounting for one, all of which indicate that your liver function is very poor!

Signs I. Insomnia is easy to wake up

In life, many people always sleep at night between half-dream and half-awake. As soon as there is movement, people will immediately wake up, and they can’t sleep. The main problem is the strong liver fire. Liver fire is strong, which will affect the autonomic nerves on the surface of the liver, causing people to often have insomnia at night, have difficulty falling asleep, or often wake up in the middle of the night, etc., and often wake up at 1 to 3 a.m. In addition, if the liver fire is strong, it will cause anger, and it will also be irritable and irritable, dry mouth and dry tongue, and dry stool.

Signs II. Dreaming of grinding teeth

Many people dream frequently when they go to bed at night, and they also have a lot of dreams. In fact, such a person is not that he thinks a lot of things, but that there is something wrong with his liver. The heart hides the god, and the liver hides the soul. When people lie down and their blood returns to the liver, their mind and soul will be nourished by blood during sleep, and the human body can enter deep sleep. However, if the mind and liver soul are not nourished by the blood, they will be restless, followed by dreams and teeth grinding.

Signs III. Calf cramps

There may be three reasons for calf cramps during sleep. One is due to hyperlipidaemia, resulting in insufficient blood oxygen supply; the second is calcium deficiency; and the third is liver problems. Because of the “liver’s main tendon”, when the liver function begins to weaken, the body’s toxins accumulate, and after a long time, it will naturally affect the body’s tendons.

Once affected, there will often be persistent cramps in the calves. In this case, you have to pay attention to whether there is a problem with the liver.

Signs 4. Frequent nightfall

The liver is the master of the digestive system. It not only has the function of venting the spleen and stomach, but also promotes the secretion of bile. If there is a problem with the liver, the spleen and stomach will rise and fall, and the bile will not be secreted normally. Over time, it will cause absorption disorders, diarrhoea and Even when you sleep, you will have diarrhoea and get up frequently at night, which means that there is a problem with your liver.

The liver is not good. Don’t touch 3 things before going to bed. It’s better to do more 4 things. The liver will gradually get better!

Touch 3 things less:

1. Night snack before going to bed

Many people have developed the habit of eating supper before going to bed, especially office workers, who often eat extra meals. However, eating supper often will not only cause gastrointestinal diseases, but also hurt the liver. Because the body is affected by hunger, it often eats a lot of high-oil and high-fat foods, such as barbeque, hot pot and other foods. In this way, overeating greasy food will increase the metabolic burden of the liver, make fat accumulate in the liver, and accelerate the production of fatty liver.

2. Take a hot bath before going to bed

Taking a hot bath before going to bed will relax the muscles of your whole body, but it is very dangerous for people with hepatitis. Because soaking in hot water for a long time will keep the temperature of the whole body to rise, and overheating will cause human blood to concentrate the blood in the surface blood vessels of the skin, so the patient’s liver will fall into a state of hypoxia. The longer it takes, the greater the burden on the liver.

3. Drink before going to bed

Many people drink before going to bed to relieve anxiety and promote sleep. It seems to play a big role, but in fact, it is very harmful to the organs of the body. Because alcohol is toxic to liver cells, no matter how much alcohol you drink, it will harm liver health, accelerate liver cell necrosis, produce fatty liver, and even cirrhosis.

Do 4 more things:

1. Drink more liver tea and drink more water. Drinking tea can help dilute toxins, reduce the burden on the liver, add some small plants to reduce fire, and also help remove liver fire and reduce insomnia and irritability. Before going to bed, make a cup of golden osmanthus chrysanthemum tea, nourish the liver and reduce the fire formula: honeysuckle, osmanthus, dandelion, foetal chrysanthemum

Solution: Honeysuckle clears away heat and detoxifies, and at the same time has certain benefits to the liver, which has the effect of reducing liver fire. Moreover, honeysuckle also has an anti-viral effect. The pathological analysis of honeysuckle shows that it can reduce the pathological damage of the liver and has an obvious liver-protecting effect. Foetus chrysanthemum can not only clear away heat and detoxify, but also evacuate wind heat, calm liver yang, clear liver and eyesight, etc. Dandelion is a famous “detoxation grass”, which can help liver detoxify and detoxify. The dandelion sterol it contains can increase the content of liver glycogen and reduce the activity of liver lipase, thus protecting the liver to a certain extent. Osmanthus not only has the effect of nourishing blood, but also can help nourish liver blood. At the same time, it also plays a good role in harmony. It’s cold above. If there is no real fire, it is recommended not to take it rashly for a long time.

2. Dredge the liver and relieve depression

People with poor liver will make their liver qi depressed and poor qi and blood in their body after getting angry, which will cause adverse effects on the liver, especially people with chronic hepatitis. Frequent anger may also lead to the continuous deterioration of the condition. Therefore, we must learn to talk properly, relieve depression, and express anger.

3. Put down more mobile phones

Nowadays, many people are mobile phone users, and they can’t live without mobile phones almost every day. Playing with mobile phones for a long time will not only cause excessive eye fatigue, but also damage the liver of the human body. Many people can’t associate vision with the liver. In fact, the liver is open to the eyes. If the liver is not good, the eyes will be red and bloody. However, playing with mobile phones before going to bed will aggravate the state of staying up late, resulting in nervous excitement and lack of sleep, resulting in liver damage.

4. Knock more on the liver and gallbladder

Stand up naturally, bend one leg, then hit the liver meridian with your hand, from the inner side of the thigh to the inner side of the calf, then hit the bile meridian, from the outside of the thigh, hitting the outer side of the calf. Slap 1-2 times a day, 30-50 times each time. This can help accelerate bile secretion, improve liver function, relieve stress and relax.
