In Traditional Chinese Medicine, spring is the season of the liver and gallbladder. These organs are connected not only to digestion and detoxification, but to clarity, movement, creativity, and emotional flow. 🌀🌸
When the Liver energy is balanced, we feel:
✨ Clear in the mind
✨ Light in the body
✨ Emotionally flexible
✨ Motivated, decisive, and steady
But when that energy is stuck or overburdened, we might experience:
• Bloating or digestive tension
• Irritability, frustration, anger or emotional overwhelm
• Waking between 1–3am
• Hormonal imbalances
• Weight gain that won’t budge
• Raised cholesterol or elevated liver enzymes
• Tenderness under the rib cage or hardened abdominal fat
• Skin breakouts, flares or dullness
• Sensitivity to smells (perfume isle) or alcohol
• Headaches
• Fatigue, brain fog, or heaviness
• Cravings, especially for sugar or stimulants
• Tightness in the body - especially around the neck, jaw, or shoulders
• Changes in stool - pale, clay-coloured, floating, or greasy stools can signal poor bile flow and sluggish liver/gallbladder function
These are all messages letting you know your liver may need support. 💞
And spring time is a great time to do this. 🍃
✨ Begin simply - with foods, rituals, and herbs that support and nourish the Liver:
🥬 Bitter green leaves – rocket, dandelion, mustard leaf
🍵 Herbs – St Mary’s thistle, schisandra, globe artichoke, nettle, rosemary
🌱 Sour flavours – lemon, apple cider vinegar, fermented foods
🥦 Brassicas – broccoli, kale, cauliflower, cabbage
🧘♀️ Movement, massage, breath, sunlight and space – to support the free flow of Qi (life force energy)
You don’t need to do it all at once. Just pick a couple that are achievable and start there. And you don’t need to do it alone. If you’d like individualised, therapeutic support ~ I’d love to guide you. I love supporting liver and digestive health and there are some amazing supplements we can utilise! 💚 (and even more important for people with known issues or post gallbladder removal).
