Does excessive eye strain really consume blood?

There are so many people lately who say their eye strain is painful.

In fact, in Traditional Chinese Medicine, it has been clearly stated for a long time that "excessive eye strain consumes blood."

This is not just a superstition; the symptoms actually match.

● Why are the eyes and blood related?
A very famous saying in Traditional Chinese Medicine:
"The liver stores blood and opens into the eyes."
What this means is that the liver is a warehouse that stores blood, and the eyes are directly connected to the liver.

Therefore, when you use your eyes intensely for computers, smartphones, and reading, the blood stored in the liver is consumed rapidly.

When that happens, symptoms appear such as eye fatigue, blurred vision, dry eyes, difficulty seeing at night, pale or brittle nails, vertical ridges on nails, irregular menstruation, light menstrual flow, dizziness, feeling tired even after sleeping, leg cramps, and stiff fingers.

What about modern medicine?

It is not that the volume of blood decreases, but
since "blood" in Traditional Chinese Medicine refers to the whole system that carries nutrients, oxygen, moisture, and energy, excessive eye strain depletes the liver's nutrients, leading to a lack of nutrients and oxygen throughout the body.
And then fatigue and various symptoms appear.

It perfectly matches the symptoms we are experiencing now...!
