The Eyes: Organ of Vision; Governed by the Liver (Liver opens at the eyes).
Since the eye is closely associated with the liver, it stands to reason that they both share the same sensitivities and this is because both the Liver and the eyes develop problems if they are not properly nourished.
Eye problems will surely develop if they are not being properly nourished by moisture.
Problems will also occur if there is too much internal heat rising up from the Liver because it then dries the out the moisture of the eye.
A Liver that is undernourished will present with the following; dry, red, itchy or inflamed eyes.
