It's time to give our Liver some extra love during Spring!
Based on the Five Element Theory, each element (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water) correspond with certain seasons, environments, tastes, directions, tissues and organs.
Spring correspond to the Wood element and the Liver/Gallbladder, and it is during this time that we want to shift our attention to nourishing this organ system.
Reflecting the upward and outward moving energy of Spring, the smooth flow of Qi through the Liver ensures we are properly detoxifying and essentially releasing processing and releasing any stagnation in the body accumulated over Winter.
When in a state of disharmony, the Liver Qi can become 'stuck' which is when you may begin to experience frustration, anger, seasonal allergies and headaches and more during this time.
