Many people, when experiencing blurred vision, cramps, or insomnia, instinctively think it's due to "getting older," "calcium deficiency," or "being too tired lately"? Yet they rarely consider that it might be related to "insufficient liver blood."
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the liver opens into the eyes and governs the tendons. Our ability to see clearly and the flexibility of our muscles and bones rely on the nourishment of liver blood. Once liver blood is deficient, the eyes will not receive adequate nourishment, leading to symptoms such as dry eyes, blurred vision, and mental restlessness. At night, this can result in tossing and turning, making it difficult to fall asleep. Additionally, without the support of liver blood, the muscles and bones may become weak, causing numbness in the hands and feet.

However, it is important to note that traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes syndrome differentiation and treatment. Since each individual has a different constitution and varying complexities of syndromes, it is crucial not to blindly apply treatments on one's own. Always use under the guidance of a professional physician based on proper syndrome differentiation.
