Spring is a time of renewal, growth, and movement—but seasonal transitions can also bring stress, hormonal shifts, and emotional imbalances. In Chinese Medicine, Spring is ruled by the Liver, which governs emotions, menstrual cycles, and detoxification. When it’s out of balance, you may experience PMS, digestive issues, allergies, or irritability.

Join me as I share Chinese Medicine insights on the Spring transition, including:
🌱 How Spring affects emotions, stress, and hormonal balance
🌱 Acupressure & Qigong to support vitality
🌱 Foods & Lifestyle tips for smoother seasonal shifts
