Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 жов 2024
- Liver Qi Stagnation is probably the most common TCM pattern of diagnosis I see in clinical practice.
In this video, I share the causes of Liver Qi Stagnation, the consequences (what happens if we don't address it!), the symptoms, and basic treatment including acupuncture points, Chinese herbal formulas, and nutrition.

Dear Clara, being the student of TCM for the last 2.5 years and still 2 more to go with a lot of postgradual courses afrerwards I have to say that without your amazing videos (and books as well) I would not be able to understand and manage my studies. Everytime I go through my school lectures being completely confused and stressed (working on getting my own LV QI stagnation :-) ) I am so glad I can also use your video lectures. They help me so so much. I wish I had more time, I would watch your videos over and over and over ..... 😀 I love your "crazy" style and the way you handle such difficult topics. I admire your knowledge as well as your passion for TCM. YOU ARE THE REAL TCM STAR!
Awe, thank you so much Belle 🌷You made my day! I'm so glad my videos are helping your studies 😍
Amazing video, been having all these symptoms. Have started caring for my liver on the physical level, and already seeing an improvement. Thank you.
@@kennetholeary2101 my pleasure 🥰
Hello Clara, I’m one of your admirers 😊 I really want to thank you for being so sweet and kind. Your work is blessed and appreciated always!
I hope you continue this journey for many years to come. Much blessings to you and your family 🙏
@@Dr.G-tu7ee awe, Dr. G, YOU made my day! Thank you so much for your kind words and support ☯️🌷🥰
This was REALLY REALLY helpful... I am an avid unofficial student of acupuncture but aware of my yin deficiency AND apparently Liver chi stagnation... Although some symptoms are subtle... after reflecting more closely it ALL makes sense... now I have some very specific points to do my acupressure... WAS doing LI4 AND LV4 but others will complement those... THANK YOU.... New year's goal... buy all your books I'm a sponge for all you have to share that is SOOOOO practical & sensible... GREAT JOB in sharing
I’m so happy you benefited from this video 😍 thank you for your kind words and support 💜
Excellent content as usual, Clara! Didn't know about the lack of movement cause (which makes so much sense) or the potential dampness result of LQS (which also makes so much sense). Or the 2 resulting tangents of Sp or St patterns. This has filled in SO many diagnostic blanks for me. THANK YOU!!! As a new practitioner, your content is my BIBLE! You're able to distill huge amounts of complex info down into easily digestible segments that don't overwhelm. You make us all better practitioners!! You ROCK!
Omg 😱 thank you so much! YOU made my day 🙏🌷 I’m so happy my content benefits you and in turn benefits your patients 💜
I am a South African acupunture student, your videos make everything simple
I’m so happy you benefiting from them 🥰
Hi Clara. Would you ever consider making a book for people who are not students or wanting to become TCM practitioners? More for people who are just interested in learning about our body through TCM? maybe include context like this video and exercises, food, symptoms, Chinese herbal soups and recommendations?
@@cutiemegumi thank you for the suggestion 🥰 something to ponder for sure 🌷🙏
God, I can listen to this lady all day long. 💚

@@Acuproacademy hi do you have any herbs and pressure points for skin issues like dry flaky skin seb derm ?
@@lisagardner4814 unfortunately TCM doesn’t work that way, we treat the person as a whole, not the disorder. We look at the root cause & address it! We look at the tongue, observe the skin, eyes, hair...we take the pulse, ask questions on sleep, digestion, diet, immune system...and then we make a TCM diagnosis and create a treatment plan accordingly 🙏
This is extremely informative. I’m receiving acupuncture on this LV 3 spot for adrenal fatigue and this all just resonates. Thank you for explaining it so clearly ❤
My pleasure 🥰 so happy it resonated with you 🌷

Awe, you made my day Shereen 💗 thank you ☺️
I had huge stagnation. Did 2 and the moment it hit 3 a big current started from the 2 to the 3 really strong. It’s been a couple of hours and i still feel strongly the energy working in my organs
That’s fantastic 😍

Thank you so much! I bought the three books already. cara, please give me some of the good points for neck pain. I cannot find enough info about neck pain such as whiplash, pins and needle down to fingers due to nerve impingement, and also stiff neck.
Thank you again.
Joe from Australia
Hi Joe,
Thank you for your support.🌷 Have you looked at my TCM treatment book under the PAIN chapter? That's how we treat neck pain: neck distal points BL 62, Lu 7, local points where the pain is, ad GB 34 and treat the pattern (if there is pins and needles it means blood deficiency, so treat that too).
Watch this video too 💜 ua-cam.com/video/FAdC5wDtfGI/v-deo.html
Itching in the body. What could be the reason and treatment please?
It depends on many factors 🙏 acute or chronic, area of the itching, redness or not… itching is Wind in tcm
Dr. Diagnosed me with liver chi stagnation with spleen deficiency and stomach in rebel. He also says it’s overheating my large intestines which is what’s causing my chronic constipation. You were saying weak spleen gives you loose stools. Is that always the case with weak spleen or do other factors come into play to cause constipation? I always ere on the side of constipation rather than loose stools.
Great presentation by the way! Your books look amazing! I will check them out!
Constipation can be due to many many tcm patterns of diagnosis 🌷 Spleen blood deficiency would create constipation, so does liver qi stagnation and large intestine heat 🥰
@@Acuproacademy Thank you for the feedback! Makes sense it’s a combination of patterns compounding the constipation.
Thank you, Clara.🙏🏻
My pleasure 😊
Thanks so much! Is it OK to take both herbs mentioned at sane time?
These formulas should be always prescribed by qualified practitioners 🙏 every patient is unique so it depends 🌷
Reasons for too much of burping, hyperacidity, constipation, foot Dorsom pain at St 44. is it because of li heat, St fire ?
@@jadiyappanavaramuttjairaj9908 it depends on each patient pattern 🌷 constipation can be due to many pattern, but all these symptoms together would be Excess Heat in both Yang Ming meridians (ST & LI) 🌷
Big THANK YOU ❤!

Hello Clara! I take yin tonics and i notice some heaviness around the liver area. Also get what might be liver yang rising (ringing in the ears, flushed ruddy face, irritable) when i take these yin tonics. Can it be that they stagnate in the liver area?
By the way, your presentation is top notch and very thorough PLUS ENTHUSUATIC, and just right in the pocket if you ask me. Thank you for your videos.❤
I’m so happy you’re enjoying my content 🥰 Yin tonics can create dampness so that might account for the heaviness which will stagnate qi as well 🌷
@Acuproacademy Really appreciate you replying. I know you're busy but you still manage to reach out. You're a great teacher too. Subscribed.❤️
@@Byonda thank you so much ☺️ you rock!
Can we moxibustion the points? Would that work too?
If heat is needed but not everyone needs heat 🌷

Do you have any videos on damp heat in the lower jiao? Or damp heat in general lol? I love your videos they are helping me so much!

@Acuproacademy yes, I recently went to a holistic Dr in Roswell GA and he confirmed that I have a build up of heat energy within me . Which made sense because I often feel like I need to exhale steam from my body . He did acupuncture in the areas that you mentioned .Thank you for this .

Does the liver make we see mentally as well?
Something happens: i see sometbing in my mind i want. For isntance, i need to buy bread, i see the bread. But sometimes its been dificult to remember the word.
Coudl we say that liver is more ok then maybe spleen, as spleen would govern memory?
Memory is more of a Heart & Kidney issue unless it’s short term memory, then it’s a Liver Qi stagnation 🌷
Great video! For those 2 chinese herbs how long does it take for people to start feeling the effects? Just started Xiao Yao San this week.
It’s a pretty mild formula so it takes a couple of weeks but it also depends on the amount of stress you are under 🙏🥰

Does liver qi stagnation and spleen deficiency affect the weight? No matter what I eat and if I exercife it is really hard for me to lose weight, and I tend to be very flabby... It's very hard for me to accept, and this is worse with age passing. Even if I go running few times a week, cut sugar, eat veggies... It does not change. Only a little. It's deprsssing seriously
@@JulieMarinaLopez have you checked your blood levels? Blood sugar? thyroid? THS? Hormones? That’s a great way to start looking into it 💜
@@Acuproacademy yes I did check everything except hormones they don't check that in France. I am pretty sure my weight issue is related to IBS and I do have lots of symptoms of liver qi stagnation and spleen defiency although I am not tcm professional so I might be wrong. But I think I have. So I was wondering whether this could create this kind of symptom also.
@@JulieMarinaLopez it could if the cause is stress, or menopause 🌷
@@Acuproacademy I am not in menopause yet... Stress definitely plays a role. I was convinced it could be one of the symptoms of spleen defiency and liver qi stagnation as I read so elsewhere but you were not mentioning it
@@JulieMarinaLopez it depends, it could be but I can’t say without full details 🌷
