5 TIPS

for early Spring

NURTURING OUR LIVER AND GALL BLADDER

Spring heralds a change from winter when we nurtured our kidneys, to the time of the wood element and nurturing our liver and gall bladder. Keep to warm drinks, no cold drinks or ice and minimum alcohol, no refined sugar. Warm organic tea, warm smoothies, cream of pumpkin soup, greens and nettle soups, lentil and onion soup. Use plenty of leeks in your cooking. No plastic straws!

DRESS WARMLY

The weather is not arbitrary. Spring brings exquisite blossom and winds of different intensity. It is a powerful energy that can affect our liver and our lungs. Let’s respect it and enjoy it. Dress warmly from ankles to head, before going out.

LET’S WORKOUT 

Warming clothes help us look after our muscles, heart, and eyes so they are not penetrated by the wind. But a strong short walk with arms swinging is refreshing and healthful. Any good workout moves the circulation: swimming, yoga, tennis, dancing, gardening, all bring vitality and help detox.

SPRING POWER

The precious quality of Spring encourages both our personal self-expression and our ability to be creative and co-operative within our community – planning, organizing – through healthy liver energy.

TIME TO FLOURISH

Imagine the life-force that fills the buds on all plants and trees, causing them to burst open into flowers and leaves of amazing shapes, supreme geometry, and beauty. Our spirit yearns to do the same.
