		It is very common that patients with stagnation of liver qi may not only have symptoms such as distension, pain in the chest and hypochondriac regions, anxiety, and anger, but also belching due to the failure of the stomach qi to descend and diarrhea caused by the dysfunctional ascending of spleen qi.
		The former is known as "liver qi affecting the stomach," and the latter as "disharmonious conditions between the liver and the spleen."
		If the liver blood is insufficient and fails to nourish the tendons, the patient might experience symptoms such as tremors of the hands or feet, numbness of the limbs, or even difficulty in flexing and extending the limbs.
