DIETARY SUGGESTIONS FOR LIVER INVADING SPLEEN
When Liver Qi stagnate's, it tends to reach into other
organ systems and cause problems there as well. One common target is the
Spleen, which plays an important role in digestion. When Liver Qi invades the Spleen,
one tends to have gas, bloating, diarrhea or loose stools, fatigue, and similar symptoms all
exacerbated by stress, anxiety, or depression.
Dietary adjustment must be very balanced because foods that smooth Liver energies tend to
be harder to digest while those that build spleen energies can be stagnating in nature.
