'tis the season to talk Liver!

9/17/2014

You may remember, back in July we began exploring the organs, and we started with the Liver.

Well we've come full circle, and we're going to dig in a little deeper this time! 

"Liver qi possesses the function of regulation. It is responsible for the ascending, descending, and harmony of bodily qi."

Woah. The Liver has a big responsibility! So let's start with a few symptoms to recognize when your Liver qi needs attention: 
- Anger or irritability
- Emotional "stuckness" 
- Tenderness around ribs
- Pain along sides 
- Sigh often

In the graphic to the right you can find ingredients that will nourish your Liver, assist in moving its qi, and relieve the aforementioned symptoms. 

Save the graphic, or print it to keep with your recipes. You can always substitute ingredients in a recipe with something from this list to make any meal a little more Liver happy! 

Be well.
