This time of year, our wood element is most active, and its corresponding organ pair, Liver and Gallbladder, need extra love and care. To keep your liver and gallbladder clear, keep your diet light and include foods that emphasize the yang, ascending, and regenerative qualities of spring.

We love cupping, it is one of our favorite forms of bodywork! It involves momentarily placing fire into glass cups so that the heat creates suction when they are subsequently placed on the skin.
