Spring cleaning for your body

From the study of Ayurvedic medicine + Chinese philosophy...⁣

⁣

Spring is a time of birth and new beginnings. The 𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐰𝐨𝐨𝐝 is associated with spring and living, growing entities: trees, plants, and the human body. ⁣

⁣

The bodily organ systems related to the wood element are 𝐋𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐆𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐛𝐥𝐚𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐫 (their job is to detoxify the blood and make bile to help metabolize carbohydrates, fats and proteins.)⁣

⁣

To support liver functioning, think spring cleaning⁣

⁣

🌱Drink plenty of fluids, add lemon to your drinking water to help detoxify the liver⁣

🌱Try eating light, raw foods such as greens, sprouts, fruits, nuts, seeds and celery⁣

🌱Avoid heavy or fried foods, anything with chemical additives or alcohol⁣

🌱Since exercise and sweating aid liver detoxification, spring is a great time to create a workout plan or ramp up your current routine⁣

🌱Wood governs the early hours of the morning. Just as morning is a great time to plan the day ahead, spring is a great time to look at your life and where you want to be in the future. Take a little time to write a new health/life plan, including goals for how you wish to feel and what you would like to do and see happen.⁣
