Spring Acupuncture Tips
Spring is a happy time. It is not a good time to be angry. But according to Chinese Medicine being angry is exactly what you can expect if your liver is not in balance.
Your liver is responsible for smooth flow of Qi (vital energy) in your body. Smooth flowing of Qi means health, vitality, and a stable emotional state. Liver also governs your joints, muscles, ligaments and tendons. Thus, imbalance in liver may lead to spinal problems, poor flexibility or arthritis. The emotion associated with liver is anger, that is why if your liver is imbalanced, your Qi will be disrupted, and you will be angry.
Try these spring acupuncture recommendations to keep your liver balanced and healthy.
Cleanse. Cleaning your colon releases accumulated toxins, undigested food, parasides and fungi. With a clean colon your digestion is more efficient and your body is healthier.
Detox your liver. Reduce or eliminate alcohol or drugs that are toxic to your liver. Consider a detox that specifically targets your liver.
Stretch. Start or recommit to a healthy stretching routine. Exercises that move, loosen and flex your joints are very good.
Control your anger. Create a healthy anger management plan. Journal, meditate, and get an acupuncture stress reduction treatment. Find activities that refocus your anger in healthy way.
Control your diet. Eat light as overeating taxes your liver. Sprouts, wheatgrass, spinach, kale and dandelion are particularly good foods in the spring. Drink milk thistle tea; it will detox your liver. Spices such as basil, fennel, marjoram, rosemary, caraway, dill and bay leaf are excellent for spring cooking - and they taste good.
By keeping your liver healthy, you will be happy. You will feel vital, flexible and clear.
