The Liver in TCM vs. Western Medicine

The Western Liver detoxifies. The TCM Liver does that — but its primary job is to keep Qi flowing smoothly throughout the entire body. When the Liver is happy, everything flows. When it's stuck, problems cascade.

Key functions:

  • 🌊 Ensures smooth flow of Qi
  • 🩸 Stores the Blood during rest
  • 👁️ Opens into the eyes
  • 😤 Connected to anger and frustration
