The manifestations of Liver Distension (Gan Zhang) include fullness under the hypochondrium, with pain radiating to the lower abdomen. This is because the Foot Jueyin Liver Meridian originates at the big toe, descends to reach the lower abdomen, flanks the stomach, pierces through the diaphragm, and spreads over the hypochondriac region.
Fupenzi Wan (Reevesia Fruit Pill) [from *Shengji Zonglu*]: Treats Liver affected by Wind-Cold, presenting with a greenish-yellow complexion, distending pain in both hypochondria radiating to the lower abdomen, impaired tendon vessels, and stiffness/tightness in the back and shoulders.
