2. The liver has toxins and it can also be like this:

1. Eat green foods. According to the Five Elements Theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine, green foods can promote the flow of liver qi, and have a good effect in soothing the liver, relieving depression, and alleviating emotions. They are foods that help the liver detoxify. Chinese medicine experts recommend green oranges or lemons, which can be made into green orange juice or green lemon water with the skin on and drunk directly.

2. Lycium barbarum improves liver tolerance. In addition to detoxification, the liver's ability to resist toxins should also be enhanced. The first food to recommend is wolfberry, which has a good effect in protecting the liver and can improve the liver's tolerance to toxins. It is best to chew it when eating, and eat a small handful every day.

3. Press the key points for liver detoxification. This refers to Taichong point, which is located in the depression before the junction of the first and second metatarsal bones on the dorsum of the foot. Use your thumb to massage for 3 to 5 minutes until you feel a slight soreness. Do not use too much force and press alternately with your feet.

4. Tears detoxification method. Compared with men who never cry, women live longer, which may be related to tears. Traditional Chinese medicine has long recognized this, and it has also been confirmed by Western medicine. Tears, as excretory fluids, just like sweat and urine, do contain some biochemical toxins that are harmful to the body. So, when you feel uncomfortable, wronged, or depressed, just cry. For those "optimists", watching a sad movie on a weekend afternoon and letting tears flow with the plot is also an active way to detoxify.
