What to do if you stay up late and have liver fire? Here’s how to reduce fire and nourish yin!

Because we have a time difference with Europe and America, many men choose to watch foreign sports events late at night, and often develop the habit of staying up late. Chinese medicine experts point out that staying up late often will cause liver fire to rise, and the human body will have symptoms of getting angry. What should we do at this time?

Staying up late can also cause inflammation

It is understood that the internal heat caused by staying up late is mainly liver fire. Because staying up late damages the yin, the body has no chance to compensate and can only continuously improve the yin of the liver and kidneys. In addition to nosebleeds, liver fire may also manifest as dizziness, flushed face, red eyes, bitter mouth, irritability, and even madness, restlessness at night, easy to be startled, fainting, vomiting blood and other symptoms.

First reduce the fire

To reduce internal heat, you can use bitterness, such as the bitter herbs of rhubarb, coptis chinensis, and scutellaria baicalensis. You can eat more bitter foods, such as bitter melon, almonds, bitter herbs, kuding tea, celery, etc., which can relieve heat and fatigue. If conditions permit, you can also cook some chrysanthemum porridge, celery porridge, and Tremella fuciformis porridge.

After nourishing Yin

Common Chinese medicines for nourishing yin include Radix Ophiopogonis, Radix Asparagi, Radix Polygonati Odorati, Radix Dendrobii, Radix Adenophorae, etc. If you don't know how to match these Chinese medicines, you can choose the Rehmannia Pill series to restore liver and kidney reserves. You can usually make some wolfberry and Radix Rehmanniae tea, or cook some wolfberry, Tremella and Ginkgo soup. In addition, to eliminate liver fire from the root, the best way is to reduce the number of times you stay up late, ensure adequate sleep, and do appropriate physical exercise.
