These are yang activities that reflect the activity of spring. It is a time of regrowth, rejuvenation and new beginnings. In Chinese Medicine this season is associated with the Wood element which corresponds to the Liver and Gallbladder meridians. They are associated with the eyes, the color green, decision making and anger. When the Wood element is unbalanced we see a rise in frustration, a quicker temper, red and itchy eyes, depression and headaches. Regular acupuncture treatments and eating with the season will keep the Wood element in balance. Foods best for Spring are light, fresh, green foods such as: kale, asparagus and celery. Eating berries is another way to enhance the function of the Liver. <br/><br/>Spring is also a time when flowers and trees are in bloom and many folks suffer from allergies. Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine not only aids in symptom relief from allergies, but with consistent care, gets to the root cause of your allergies. Tui Na massage, Shiatsu, Shonishin (non insertive pediatric acupuncture) and cupping are several modalities used to treat the whole family during allergy season. <br/><br/>
