SPRING, a new beginning...

The Chinese Inner Classic tells us that Spring is the time of year to “rise early with the sun” and take “brisk walks”. This is the time for moving forward.  We can’t help but notice plant life pushing upwards after winter’s sleep.  The sight of young green plants nourishes the soul through the eyes.  The metaphorical membrane over the eyes and mind disappears and vision becomes clearer. Things are seen in new ways. 

Eating for a Healthy Liver

One key to transforming liver energy imbalance is diet. Foods which harmonize the Liver are dark green vegetables and shell fish.

Cooling teas like chamomile, dandelion, and chrysanthemum and cooling foods including mung beans and their sprouts, celery, seaweeds, cucumber, algae, wheat and barlye grass help detoxify the liver.

Bitter and sour foods, in moderation, such as rye, romaine, asparagus, amaranth, alfalfa and citrus peel also help balance the Liver.

Green, the Color for Spring

When choosing foods to strenghen our bodies in the Spring, the time when the energy of the Liver is the most sensitive,  you can't go wrong by going for greens.  The leafy green vegetables are considered in Chinese Medicine to be superior for supporting the Liver energy. They help clean out clogged energy. They are also fat-free, fiber rich and high in vitamins and minerals.

Need to de-Stress

Another key to balance is finding ways to relieve stress. Physical exercise, meditation and breathing exercises are all good stress-relieving tools. Finding someone to talk with, either a friend or a therapist is also important.

Acupuncture and herbal therapy can also be a very beneficial in a stress management program.

There are a variety of Chinese herbs which can help to balance and move stagnant Liver energy.   In this culture there are many people with imbalanced Liver energy.
