Spring has sprung! Along with a season of new growth and optimism, this is also the ideal time to spring clean. As we crawl out of our caves from deep hibernation, the emerging Yang/warm energy of spring season interacts with Yin/cold energy accumulated over the winter season, resulting in a kind of friction leading to an imbalance of Yin and Yang, which typically results in a cold or flu. The analogy is the blasting sun melting leftover snow, leaving a heap of dirty messy ice.
To stave off this type of natural cleansing reaction in the body, I recommend my 5 week Detox Protocol which consists of weekly acupuncture session for 4 weeks, paired with daily Chinese herbal medicine for the duration, capped off with a Liver/Gall Bladder flush as the grand finale in the last week.
Chinese medicine believes that toxins stored in the body must first be “ dredged up “ prior to elimination. This idea is consistent with any type of detox protocol such as colon cleansing. Acupuncture focusing on Liver and Gall Bladder meridian serves the function of breaking up emotional and energetic plague. Things we have held onto which no longer serve us need to go away. Similarly, Chinese herbal medicine focusing on Liver and Gall Bladder organ helps to dredge toxic buildup on a systemic visceral level.
This unique combination is an effective and comprehensive way to release blockages both psychically and physically. The final Liver/Gall Bladder flush is the actual purging, this is where we let go of all the toxic matter hindering our health and growth. It takes 7 days to do the flush. The first six days consists of taking malic acid to open the bile ducts. Then on the last day, you make a decoction/cocktail, drink it and pass the dissolved matter.
