Give Your Liver a Much Needed Spring Cleaning... Do the Tree Shake!

Spring is the season of renewal and though Spring officially begins on March 21 in the West, the Chinese feel that Spring energetically begins with the Chinese New Year. No matter which day we designate to launch the season of Spring, the energy is the same: new beginnings, fresh starts, rebirth, Spring cleaning and cleansing.

Spring's yin organ is Liver and the season signals it's time for a gentle liver cleanse.

On Health and Longevity

Fame or your health—which is more dear?Your health or possessions—which is worth more?
Gain or loss—in which is there harm?
If your desires are great, you’re bound to be extravagant;
If you store much away, you’re bound to lose a great deal.
Therefore, if you know contentment, you’ll not be disgraced.
If you know when to stop, you’ll suffer no harm.
And in this way you can last a very long time.

[ Lao Tzu ]
