According to Chinese medicine the Liver system affects your health in many ways. Here is how to spot some of the signs:
Strong Nails: the Liver Blood is said to nourish tendons and ligaments as well as your nails. If your naisl are thin and brittle, this is a sign of imbalance of Liver blood and Qi.
Flexible Sinews: the Liver systme governs the sinews (tendons, ligaments). Flexibility and ease of movement suggest a well-functioning liver. Tight ligaments and muscle cramps are ususally a sign of deficiency/ imbalance.
Clear Vision & Bright Eyes: the liver is said to "open into the eyes." Clear, bright eyes indicate healthy liver blood while blurred vision points to Liver Blood deficiency.
Smooth Flow of Emotions: The Liver is responsible for the smooth flow of Qi, which manifests emotionally as balanced emotions, especially no excess frustration or anger.
Easy Menstruation: A Regular, PMS-free, pain-free menstrual cycles indicate healthy liver blood and Qi flow.
Hydrated Skin: The liver plays a role in blood circulation and detoxification, which reflects in healthy, glowing skin.
A Strong Sense of Direction in Life: In Chinese Medicine, the liver is associated with planning and decision-making. A clear sense of direction indicates a balanced liver.
