According to TCM, during each season there is an organ system that is most activated. If that particular organ system happens to be functioning at a less than optimal rate, you’ll start to see symptoms and health issues arise. In Spring, the organ system that is dominant is the Liver (and Gallbladder). TCM tells us our Liver is involved in digestion, detoxification, hormone function, and more. The Liver is also in charge of moving qi (energy) and blood through the entire body. What a workload!!!
With so many important jobs to do, it’s easy for the Liver to get overworked. Signs and symptoms of a stagnant/overburdened Liver include:
1) Start your day with warm lemon water
2) Drink dandelion root tea regularly
3) Lower your toxic load by reducing exposure to chemicals, pesticides, artificial fragrances, and EMFs
4) Start to incorporate Liver supportive seasonal foods like young leafy greens, carrots, garlic, grapefruit, asparagus, beets, artichoke, lemon, and nettle (tea)
5) Schedule an acupuncture treatment CLICK HER
