The Liver

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is the liver the organ responsible for storage and filtration of blood, secretion of bile and metabolic actions such as converting sugar into glycogen. The liver also has many more functions in Chinese Medicine, including governing the sinews and joints, the eyes, and most interesting - the liver governs the making of strategies.

 In other words, a healthy liver function is necessary in order to make sound decisions. Anger and fear are within the realm of liver. Liver Qi stagnation results in anger, impatience and rash actions.

The liver relies entirely on kidney water to sustain it, on blood to moisten it and on lung metal's clear nature and descending function  to keep it in check. Just as important is the liver's function of maintaining a smooth and uninterrupted flow of virtually all body substances (including qi, blood, jing, and liquids and humors). 
Great medicines for the liver are curcuma, artichocs and peony.

Also compresses from Taro root (taro/albi/arbi).

After a ginger compress is applied, taro plaster  is made into a thick paste and is used in Japan to help discharge dense protein and mucus from the body and eliminate excess fat and toxins. It is also extremely effective for absorbing sinus blockage for pain and stuffiness in the nasal area and head. Taro works well to draw out pus or stagnant blood from tumors, boils, and the like.

Ingredients: 

50% freshly grated taro root 

5% grated ginger (or ground, dried ginger)

45% wheat flour (white flour is the best for plasters because it is the most glutinous)

Remove the skin from the taro root and then grate the root. Mix (using the percentages listed above) the grated taro root, the ginger, and the wheat flour with a little water. Mix thoroughly; the consistency should be that of an easily spreadable paste.
Apply the mixture to the affected area, to a thickness between 1/4 - 1/2 inch (1/2cm tot 1 cm).
Use a flannel cloth to hold the taro mixture over the affected area. Keep the plaster in place with gauze wrap or other appropriate type of cloth or bandage. A ginger compress can be worn before or after the taro plaster to increase its effectiveness. Wear the plaster for 4-5 hours. The first time you use it, change the plaster after 2 hours. It is best to keep it on day and night. During night-time use, you can leave it on up to, but not more than, 12 hours.
Should the plaster cause a skin irritation, cover the inflamed area with sesame oil before applying any further plasters.
