Spring is here! The ritual of Spring Cleaning is as old as time. You might have already spring cleaned the heck out of your home. But what about your body?

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Spring is the time of the liver and gallbladder. Heat in the liver is common in Spring when we enter into the time of year that everything is rising, moving, and growing so fast.

Heat symptoms in the hepatic (liver) region could manifest as headache, unexplained anger, "hot temper", skin eruptions, red inflamed eyes and muscle stiffness. Here are a few ideas on how to support the Liver during Spring.
