Does Your Body Need a Spring Tune-Up?
In Chinese Medicine, each season is influenced by a particular organ system and spring is connected to the liver and gallbladder. Collectively, these organs make up the wood energy of Spring. What does this mean? You probably notice changes in the way you feel, both physically and mentally, as the seasons change. We tend to feel a bit more contemplative and introspective during the winter months. Once spring hits, we’re ready to recharge and get things done. The wood energy of Spring is strong and assertive, the type of energy you need to create plans and then propel them into motion. However, if it’s out of balance, you might notice you are more irritable or on edge.
