Spring is the season of
BURSTING FORTH in
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM);
The energetic movement is literally
up and out. Based on millennia of
nature observations,TCM principles
explain the flow of movement in the body
in poetic terms of nature.
Each season has a different set of internal
organs associated with the energy of that
season, as well as an element that best
describes the qi, or energy, of the season.
In spring, the wood element expresses the
upward and outward movements of spring,
and the liver and gallbladder are the internal
organs that most reflect that movement.
The most important role the liver and
gallbladder play in the body is detoxification.
These organs — the liver in particular —
help clear the body of toxins. By clearing
toxins, the liver provides the body with
higher-quality blood that can more easily
circulate. It also helps the body digest fats by releasing bile, which helps clear fat from
the digestive system and absorbs it into the bloodstream. This bile is stored in the
nearby gallbladder. Additionally, the liver
provides a backup energy reserve for the
body in the form of glycogen, which is the
stored form of glucose.
In a nutshell, the liver is busy with three functions: detox, breakdown, and backup.
Common signs that the liver needs detox support include:
● Frequent headaches
● Bloating
● Chronically cold hands and feet
● Irritability, anger, and frustration
● Depression
● Sluggish metabolism
● PMS and other menstrual irregularities
● Frequent sighing
● Stress-related digestive upset
● Chronic stress
● Breast tenderness or rib-side discomfort
● Lump in the throat

we can help you do so in an all-natural,
non-pharmaceutical way.
