Welcome to Your Spring Renewal Journey!
Spring is the season of new beginnings, and there’s no better time to support your liver—the body’s ultimate detox powerhouse. This guide is packed with tips, recipes, and herbal remedies to help you cleanse, recharge, and feel your best this season. Let’s dive in!
Why Cleanse Your Liver in Spring?
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), spring is associated with the Wood element and the liver. The liver is responsible for detoxification, metabolism, and maintaining the smooth flow of energy (Qi) throughout the body. When your liver is healthy, you feel energized, emotionally balanced, and ready to embrace life.
Signs your liver may need support:
- Fatigue or low energy
- Bloating or digestive issues
- Skin problems (acne, rashes, dullness)
- Irritability or mood swings
- Trouble sleeping

detoxification.
