Wood Liver Excess

The energy (qi) that flows through the Liver meridians system determines the free circulation of blood and energy throughout the body. This free flow of energy through the Liver meridian determines the relaxation of the entire body. The balanced energy of the liver system (Wood element), enables one to be driven, determined, goal-oriented, assertive, and a planner. The obstruction of energetic balance within the liver meridian system is generally experienced as emotional tension, which has a damaging effect especially on one's overall health.

When the energy of the liver (wood) system is stagnant it may present as a hardworking person who works themselves to exhaustion. They tend to be either melancholy and depressed or frustrated. They may have a hard time releasing their emotions in healthy and appropriate ways, so these repressed emotions may manifest inappropriately. When the energy is stagnant within the liver system, it may manifest as you being irritable, quick to anger, or sudden outbursts. It may be beneficial to use both the Liver Wood Deficient and Liver Wood Excess oil to balance out this energy.
