There are many causes of dysfunction in the
Liver. When the Liver does not function properly, it can cause stagnation of
the flow of Qi and Blood which can collect in the breast area resulting in
pre-menstrual breast tenderness and pain. In these cases, the body may also
experience the following symptoms: bloating, fullness around the abdominal
area, PMS,
period pain, insomnia, constipation or sluggish bowel movements, cysts or fibroids
in the breasts.
Sometimes pre-menstrual breast symptoms is
more to do with the nipple, which may become very painful with a burning
sensation. This is more associated with Heat from the Stomach or the Stomach
Channel becoming stuck around the nipple area. In these cases, the body may
also experience the following symptoms: very emotional or anxious,
constipation, red face, hot body, easily perspires or shorter menstrual cycle
(ie 21 days). The Heat collects in the Stomach or its Channel is a buildup from
eating too much hot and spicy food, deep-fried food, high intake of alcohol, or
Heat transforming from other organs such as the Liver and Gall
Bladder.
1) Traditional chinese medicine believes
that Liver & Stomach disorders need to be helped by western medicine, Chinese herbs and acupuncture, but there are things
you can do with your lifestyle and certain foods to help your Liver &
Stomach recover. Here are my suggestions of what you can do when you have a
Liver & Stomach disorder:
2) Rebalance your lifestyle, including work
commitments and stress. If you have personal emotional issues which you feel
you cannot solve yourself you should consider seeking some counseling or
psychological therapy to help you.
3) Suitable exercise is important. We
suggest if you have a Liver disorder that it is best to avoid strenuous heavy
and fast exercise. Suitable exercise includes walking at a moderate pace for
thirty minutes, swimming, yoga, tai chi, bicycle riding at a moderate pace and
dancing with soft gentle music. If possible it is best to perform the exercise
mentioned outdoors in nature, as the colour green helps the Liver also.
4) Music therapy: More often listening to
soft music in the background or with meditation helps the Liver.
