SPRING!! TIME FOR LIVER CLEANSING With Spring in the air, I cant help but feel the pull towards a lighter diet and a nice spring cleanse. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, spring is the time of Liver. It is not only the perfect time to support and gently cleanse the liver, but it is also the time to let go of old emotions being stored in the liver as anger and resentment. The liver is a magnificent organ. It governs the reproductive organs in Chinese Medicine, so anyone with hormonal issues, or reproductive issues should always include the liver in their health balancing regime. If you experience bloating, high blood pressure, hormonal imbalances, weight gain, mood swings, headaches, constipation, etc then take heed and support your liver. Some of my favorite ways to support the liver include adding bitter foods and spices to the diet. These include dandelion greens, artichoke, turmeric, arugula, collard greens, etc, Bitter foods are a favorite to the liver and will support your efforts to rebalance this spring. Some of the herbs that support the liver are milk thistle, dandelion, chanca peidra, chicory root, yellow dock etc. Most of these foods and herbs can be found in your local health food store. But probably most important for emotions of the liver is to add self love into your diet. So be kind to yourself and above all let go with love.
