Why do I always 'wake up naturally' at 1-3 in the morning? Reminder of traditional Chinese medicine: it turns out that this part of the body is blocked
Are you familiar with this situation? I often have difficulty falling asleep, wake up at 1-3 in the morning, and find it difficult to fall asleep again, often toss and turn in bed until dawn, and get up with panda eyes in the morning.
What has actually happened? TCM reminder: It turns out that one part of the body is blocked
- Waking up inexplicably at 1-3 o'clock in the morning is mostly caused by exuberant anger.
Symptoms such as irritability, irritability, or qi stagnation are often present. During the period when qi and blood flow to the liver meridian, people are naturally awakened.
- Wake up at 3 or 4 in the morning? It is also possible that the liver is blocked.
The liver is the most important metabolic organ of the human body. If the liver is not good, the health of the person will definitely be affected. If you wake up frequently at night, it is likely that there is something wrong with the liver.
The liver is an important organ in our body, and it is also a relatively fragile and prone to disease. Not only viral infection can lead to liver disease, improper diet and even improper rest can lead to liver disease. Therefore, in addition to adequate sleep in daily life, diet is particularly important for the protection of the liver. So if your body produces these symptoms, it's time to protect your liver!
- Insomnia, tiredness:
In fact, when mild liver dysfunction occurs, the body will not have some obvious symptoms, but at this time the patient may have greater emotional fluctuations, which will affect his sleep quality and situation. The most obvious feeling of liver problems is fatigue, but this kind of fatigue can't be solved even by sleeping, so people can't find the reason. The main reason for people with poor liver function is that the liver cells have been damaged, which can cause enzymes such as serum transaminase to increase, while cholinesterase decreases, manifested as fatigue, tiredness, and drowsiness.
- Sallow complexion and dull eyes:
When the liver function is damaged, it means that there is a problem with metabolism, the decomposition and excretion of toxins is reduced, and the amount of residual in the body increases. At this time, it will affect the skin of the human body, especially the skin of the face.
- Increased reaction after drinking:
The liver's ability to decompose alcohol is significantly lower than before, and the drunk reaction of the patient after ingesting alcohol will be worse than when the liver is normal. Of course, what needs to be said here is that in daily life, alcohol should be consumed as little as possible.
- Appearance of liver palms and spider nevus:
The liver is not enlarged or slightly enlarged, and some patients are accompanied by splenomegaly, and spider nevus and liver palms may also appear.
- Weight loss, fatigue:
When the liver is damaged, the liver cannot provide energy to the body, leading to weakness and muscle wasting, which can lead to sudden weight loss. Symptoms such as fatigue, loss of appetite, indigestion, nausea, vomiting, dull pain in the right upper quadrant and diarrhea may appear in the early stage of some liver cirrhosis.
- Itchy skin and dull nails:
Sensitive or itchy skin is a symptom of cirrhosis, a liver disease in which scar tissue forms in the liver, and a buildup of bile acids in the blood can worsen your sensitive and itchy skin. Chinese medicine believes that nails depend on the nourishment of liver blood and liver qi. When liver blood is deficient, nails are prone to vertical lines and depressions, and when liver detoxification is not smooth, nails will also grow. Maybe everyone doesn't care about this small detail, but it is true that the liver is sending you the biggest signal.
The health of the liver is closely related to our daily diet, because the liver is the digestive center of the human body. If the diet is improper, it will have a bad impact on the liver. Especially friends with poor liver themselves should pay more attention to diet, so nourish Which foods are better for liver protection? Take a look.

Green food. Green food is the best choice to protect and nourish the liver. For example, edible fungi such as shiitake mushrooms and fungus are rich in polysaccharides, which are very beneficial for strengthening the immune function of liver disease patients. For fresh vegetables, patients can either eat them raw or cook soup, and exchange them every day to better protect the liver.
