Think Green
Spring is marked by the color green
and liver energy and activity. Winter
brings about condensation and storage,
which in the body, translates into much
needed accumulation to stave off the
cold. To rid ourselves of this, the liver
energy becomes active in the spring to
detoxify the body. To play our part, first
we have to be aware this is happening,
and second, we need to aid the process
the best we can.

reasons why people got ill during the
change of seasons. In the case of spring,
if one is not cautious and overloads the
liver during its most vital time of the
year, you may fall ill in the summer.
Your illness can carry over into the fall
and may lead to a horrendous winter
full of flu and bronchitis. So essentially,
the seeds we plant in the spring are not
only harvested in the fall, they get us
to through to next spring!

Here’s what you do:
Answer these ten simple questions honestly, then cut out
this box and bring it with you to review in person as part of a
FREE ACUPUNCTURE CONSULT!
1.) Do you have Headahces?
2.) Do you have a fever or chills?
3.) Do you have chest pain or shortness of breath?
4.) Do you digest well?
5.) Do you have regular bowel movements?
6.) Do you have constant thirst?
7.) Do you sleep well?
8.) Do you have pain anywhere?
9.) What is the quality of the pain?
10.) How long have you had the pain?
WHY I AM ASKING
1.) The quality (dull or sharp) and location (front - digestion , side gallbladder/detoxification,
vertex liver, base kidney) gives clues as to how to treat the cause of the problem
2.) Fever with thirst, green mucus, sore and sweating requires a different approach than more
chills than fever, body ache, clear mucus, and lack of thirst.
3.) Upper chest issues are a result of a weakness in the lungs that results in spontaneous sweating worsening upon exertion. Chest pain can be an obstruction of the heart or digestion related.
Further questions need to be asked to ascertain a pattern to treat the problem correctly.
4.) Acid reflux and gastritis symptoms can result from years of improper food intake for your body type
or from stagnation in the liver. Either way, the approach to treat the problem is different.
5.) A normal bowel movement consists of 1-2 a day that are well formed, require little or no toilet
paper, and leave no smell or mess in the bowl.
6.) Drink preference of hot or cold gives clues to the internal state of your body. Excess heat
craves cold drinks and cold system crave and feel better with warmth.
7.) Trouble falling asleep and trouble staying asleep require different approaches. Waking during
specific hours gives clues about which organ needs help.
8.) Pain in regions of the body gives clues to what needs attention. Knee and back pain is a
kidney issue, while upper thoracic is heart or lung.
9.) Sharp and stabbing pains are signs of blood stagnation and require a different approach than
dull achy pains that result from deficiencies.
10.) Acute pains and chronic pains differ
