Spring is the season of a new birth and new growth. It corresponds to the “Wood” element and is related to the liver and gallbladder organs. In Chinese Medicine the liver organ is responsible for the smooth flowing of Qi (energy) in our bodies. This qi circulates throughout the whole body system, when the liver functions smoothly, all physical and emotional actions throughout the body also runs smoothly. So, for optimum health this spring, move your Liver Qi (Energy)! We are more susceptible to season health problems such as allergies, flu and pneumonia during the spring. If the liver is not healthy, it could affect the spleen and the lung organs. These symptoms can include: sneezing, hay fever allergies, running nose, itching eyes, chest congestions and other allergy related problems. It is very important, especially during spring, to cleanse the liver and lungs and bring balance to these organs. Tips for a healthy Spring Season:
