Happy First day of Spring 🌸🌙!
As spring unfolds our bodies transition from the stillness of winter to the vibrancy of the season. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), spring is governed by the Wood element, corresponding to the liver and gallbladder.
If the liver’s Qi becomes stagnant-due to stress, poor diet, or emotional tension-we might experience frustration, irritability, or physical symptoms like tight muscles and headaches. Spring, then, is the ideal time to nurture this energy, supporting the liver to ensure our Qi flows freely and our bodies mirror nature’s renewal.
Right now - we ALL have some version of liver Qi stagnation just by virtue of living in this day and age.
Now is the time to focus on gentle movement. Take note of your emotional well-being. Eat foods that aid in gentle detoxification like bitter, sour foods and stay away from fatty, greasy foods, or alcohol.
Here at Thirteen Moons in Omaha we will be enjoying the beautiful sunshine outside today! Happy Spring to you all!
