Hello Spring

Spring is all about growth. In Chinese medicine, the organ associated with spring is the Liver. Spring is about new growth, movement, upward motion, all the same things the Liver controls and performs in the body. After a long winter's nap, our bodies are beginning to wake up, our energy is improving, and the days are getting longer.

This is when we are leaving the most yin part of the year and entering into yang energy. The transition from winter to spring can feel like going from sleeping to waking, it can be a little painful in the beginning, but after you get up and start moving, you perk up.

You can make this transition a little smoother by moving your Liver Qi!
🌷 Start moving your body more and get outside in the nice weather
🌷 Add more fresh greens to your meals: dark, leafy greens contain magnesium that helps move you Liver qi
🌷 Spend at least one minute of your day performing belly/deep breathing
🌷 Add lemon or apple cider vinegar to your water in the morning and drink green tea
🌷 Schedule acupuncture, massage, NST or health + wellness coaching.

Although we are exiting the hibernation period of winter, don’t forget to leave time for yourself to relax and replenish, as our bodies work best on a balance of both yin and yang behaviors.

Spring is the perfect time to focus on rejuvenating your mind, body and soul. We’re ready to support patients with allergies, stress, headaches, pain, fertility, digestive upset, anxiety, trouble sleeping, liver and gallbladder health and so much more.

Schedule an appointment or be in touch to find out how we can help. You can reach us at (843) 937-6890 or info@blueheroncharleston.com.

We hope we can continue to help you feel healthy and renewed as we move through Spring!
