As viewed through the eyes of Chinese medicine when the Liver Organ System becomes excessive in its energy it has a propensity to decrease the Spleen's abilities to function correctly with appetite and especially digestive disharmonies. This can be obviously seen and connected with digestive disorders during the pre-menstrual cycle. By relieving the Liver Stagnation and tonifying the Spleen Organ System harmony can be re-established between the two systems. Many common disharmonies can be found under this pattern.
