To summarize, an occasional redness or red eruption, swelling, heat, occasional discharge or odor along these meridians can be a sign of Fire or Damp Heat affecting the Liver’s energy. A wiry pulse (an indication of boundary issues) or possibly a flooding and fast pulse (a sign of bursting through borders) often confirms that these Heat signs indicate Liver and not other Heat patterns.
