We believe that the idea of a motivated person works hand-in-hand with a healthy flowing Liver Organ System. This goes along with dreaming and the blockage thereof. The Liver Organ System has been said to be the culprit of a 1000 diseases. Chronology problems [a great example would be with menstrual disorders] would definitely apply here. Also wind problems such as dizziness, trembling, seizures, headaches and mood swings can fall under this season/organ system. There are varying Chinese Herbal Formulas that can help work on these patterns both directly and indirectly. For instance, our raw Six Flavor Plus Kidney Yin Formula is excellent to nourish, ground and nurture the Liver Organ System, also calming and balancing a Heart Fire pattern. The next section will go further into this concept which is a great way to understand the Five Element Theory described earlier.
Taking a Step Back
We are leaving the winter season and the Kidney Organ System with it, to sort of speak. If you hadn’t worked on the replenishing of your Kidney Organ System [and most people do!] your Liver Organ System may be paying the price. Referring back to the Five Element Theory, the Kidney Organ System is the mother of the Liver Organ System. What this simply means is that there is a pronounced interconnection happening with all your internal organs. It would only make sense that any depleted Organ System(s) will have an affect on another. This interrelationship is the basis of Traditional Chinese Medicine. With this understanding in mind, you may need to work on the Liver Organ System directly or its mother…the Kidney Organ System…or both, simultaneously. To better understand if you have Kidney, Liver or both Oran System disharmonies please see the listings below.Below are Liver Organ System and Kidney Organ System Disharmonies:
