Emotional disorders

Some emotional disturbances, irritability, obsessions and the blocking of the energy impairment, because the liver regulates the flow of energy, it ceases to flow normally and attacks the Stomach. The defect of energy circulation in the stomach causes an imbalance.

If the aggression to gastric liver for energy continues for a time, can trigger the following conditions:

Blockage of hepatic energy production because of fire that destroys the gastric fluids. Therefore, the stomach loses its moisture and it is therefore difficult for the stomach to play its role in digestion. If this situation continues ,peptic ulcer appears. Even if the fire destroys the capillaries, can cause bleeding.

The liver energy attacking the stomach causing gastric obstruction in the capillaries. When the disease becomes chronic, appears with bleeding peptic ulcer.

Liver energy attacking the Spleen, responsible for eliminating moisture, causing the formation of internal moisture. The same moisture and acidity produces heat that goes up the esophagus and throat causing acid regurgitation.

Eating Disorders

Excessive hunger or satiety, excessive food energy destroyed in stomach, creating a blockage in the stomach. If this situation continues peptic ulcer appears.

Excess food-cooling causes the accumulation of cold in the epigastrium and then the circulation of Qi and blood stasis slows down causing pain and cold in the Stomach. If this situation continues there is also the peptic ulcer.
