Spring is for detox

Spring is a great time for detoxing
In Chinese Medicine theory, the liver system relates to the season of spring and so this is a great time of year to activate and enhance your body’s natural ability to detox. One way of supporting the body with detox is through acupuncture treatments plus herbal formulas that support the liver and lymphatic systems.

Signs that detoxification are indicated:

• Lethargy or low energy

• Acne or rashes

• Bloating and gas

• Constipation or diarrhea

• Chronic low-grade headaches

• Irritability or unstable moods

• Generally feeling unwell

Additionally, IgG and candida testing may be indicated to identify whether food sensitivities are contributing to the burden on the liver and lymphatic systems. Diet changes, dry brushing, saunas or steam room visits can further support detoxification.

With the official start of summer just weeks away, there isn’t much time left to capitalize on your body’s natural rhythm of spring detox, so let me know soon if you'd like to have a conversation to figure out if some detox support is right for you.
