The Liver, in Chinese medicine, is responsible for free flow of emotions as well as storing the Blood. When the liver is stagnant, one might experience such symptoms as irritability, PMS, acne around the mouth or digestive complaints. There are many ways to �smooth� liver qi. One important way is to keep the actual liver organ healthy.
