壓力大點解關肝事？
教你正確疏肝方法
面對全球性世紀疫症，健康受到前所未有的威脅，長期居家抗疫困獸鬥，日常規律及社交生活被嚴重打亂，情緒自然受到影響，隨時「鬱到病」，實在需要疏疏肝、唞唞氣。為何壓力大與肝有關？中醫理論認為肝主情志，任何不良情緒都會傷肝，肝專責保持全身經脈道路暢通，如果肝功能失調導致肝鬱，就會令情緒鬱悶，出現頭痛、多嘆氣、打嗝或放屁、胃痛、大便不調、失眠等症狀。廣東話「疏肝」形容抒發鬱結、心情暢快，就代表肝能順利疏泄，精神情緒就能愉悅。
壓力大、情緒不穩亦容易產生「氣頂」的感覺，事實上是因為情緒改變而令體內氣血運行不順，出現氣滯情況，除了學會控制情緒、適度減壓，也可適量進食行氣食物，例如白蘿蔔、陳皮、五指毛桃、金桔等，或者飲用花茶，例如玫瑰花、茉莉花、佛手、洋甘菊等，有助氣血運行，改善肝鬱氣滯的情況。
當壓力爆煲、抑鬱、充滿負能量時，可以輪流按壓位合谷穴及太衝穴，有助疏通氣血、舒暢情緒，紓緩因氣機不暢引起之頭痛、頭暈、目赤腫痛等症狀。

Does stress affect your liver health?
Manage your stress correctly
This global pandemic has not only threatened our health but also disrupted our daily routine and social life. This has inevitably affected our emotions and triggered anxiety. In order to relieve stress, we should also soothe the liver. But how does stress affect the health of our liver?

According to Chinese Medicine, the liver governs our emotions, and any negative emotions would hurt the liver. The liver ensures the circulation of the Meridians, and if the organ is disrupted, we will experience emotional distress, headache, stomachache, insomnia, difficulty passing stools, flatulence, and constant burping and sigh.

Basically, ‘soothing the liver’ in Cantonese describes methods that can help us de-stress and improve our emotional well-being. By doing so, our liver can perform its functions more efficiently.

When we are stressed, we will experience the stagnation of the qi. This has to do with the changes in our emotions as well. Besides learning to manage our emotions and relieve stress, we can also consume ingredients that can improve the circulation of the qi. These ingredients are white radish, dried citrus peel, five-finger fig root and kumquat. We can also opt for floral tea such as rose, jasmine, bergamot and chamomile, as they can help improve the circulation of the qi and blood as well as clear the stagnation in the liver.

When we are reaching our breaking point, try massaging the He Gu and Tai Chong acupoints, as it can help improve the circulation of the qi and blood, regulate our emotions, and relieve stress symptoms like headache, dizziness, red eyes, and pain in the eyes.

「誒...不要咬指甲啦！好噁～」
「靠！你懂什麼？指甲中藥欸！」

蝦毀～指甲也是中藥！別人的指甲你敢吃嗎？吃啦，哪次不吃👍🏼
遙想兩年多前去北京中醫藥大學交換（現在不能出國哭哭😭
他們帶我們這群懵懂未知的學生到中藥買賣集散地
👉🏻當時看到這麼一大桶人指甲，我以為是老闆自己的特殊癖好...殊不知

📖本草綱目記載：爪甲。
氣味：甘、鹹、平、無毒。
主治：鼻衄，細刮搐之，立愈。又可催生，下胞衣，利小便，治尿血，破傷中風，去目翳等。

我想，中醫的博大精深實在很值得我們用一生去追尋。
