Toxicity & Organs

According to Chinese Medicine the body creates toxic residues when we hold onto negative emotional stuff, and it relates to various organs caused by an imbalance in the emotions of the body. For example:

• Excessive negative thinking relates to the stomach and spleen

• Fear and anxiety relate to the kidneys

• Joy relates to the heart 

• Depression relates to the liver and spleen 

•  Anger and stress relate to the liver -Sadness and worry relate to the lungs, stomach and spleen 

•  Decision-making relates to the gall bladder 

• Emotional imbalances relate to liver and kidneys 

Let go of negativity in your life and allow yourself to live without worry and fear. Remember, Joy relates to your Heart!

Liver & Kidneys

This is the time of year to focus on your liver and kidneys!

Sea Vegetables

In traditional Chinese healing, sea vegetables correspond to the winter season and to the kidneys, adrenal glands, bladder and reproductive organs. The strengthening, balancing and cleansing properties of sea vegetables are known to help these organs as well as the hair, skin and nails. 

Sea vegetables (or seaweeds) provide a variety of minerals and vitamins, including calcium, iron and iodine, and can help balance hormone and thyroid levels in the body. 

Eating too many processed foods or foods grown in mineral-depleted soil can result in a lack of minerals in the body, leading to cravings for salty or sugary foods. Adding sea vegetables to your diet can help balance your energy levels and alleviate cravings.
