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 ego, the Gallbladder). The process of building up and releasing pressure can bring about Qi constraint that generates Heat or friction 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 foster occasional mental and emotional edginess and irritability.
Strengthen Wood supports the functions of the Liver by supplementing Blood, activating Blood and Qi, dispelling Wind and Heat and soothing muscles and nerves.
