Green in Chinese medicine

I apologize for not writing anything in about a week. My computer caught a virus (or something) and has been feeling under the weather. But we're back up and running and ready to talk shop some more!

Happy St. Patrick's Day to all you Irish and Today-I'm-Irish out there! :)

In Chinese medicine, each organ is associated with an element, and each element with a color. Since today is St. Patrick's Day, I thought it would be nice to talk about the color green. Plus, I'm a little partial with it being my favorite color and all!

Green is associated with the Liver. Yep, here we are, talking about the Liver again. It's probably because it's spring time - the season of the Liver. I promise, I'll talk about the other organs at some point! (I'll probably feel compelled to write about them as their seasons roll around.) 

If you are experiencing Liver symptoms (PMS, stress, many menstrual complaints or eye problems just to list a few), consider wearing the color green. Eat green vegetables. Take a walk in a green forested area. When you surround yourself with the color associated with an organ, it's reminding that organ to be its healthiest.
