Description |
The Liver stores and nurtures the Blood, spreads the Qi, and maintains the evenness of both our emotional and mental life. It accomplishes this by rhythmically receiving, holding, and releasing Blood and Bile (in concert with its alter ago, the Gallbladder). The process of building up and releasing pressure can bring about hyperactivity that generates Heat or undue tension that can further lead to stasis or irregularity of Qi and Blood circulation. Finally, because the Blood is the milieu of the mind, disturbance of the Liver will invariably foster mental and emotional edginess and irritability.
