Virginia University Of Integrative Medicine issued the following announcement on Jan. 24
Traditional Chinese Medicine has been aware of the body's natural rhythms for thousands of years. Even the circadian rhythms of our organ energies and the flow of Qi throughout a 24 hour cycle have been meticulously documented.
This clock shows the value of listening to our bodies. These times indicate the times of day when an organ's energy is most efficient.
It is important to note that the large intestine, stomach, and spleen energies are at their peak in the morning between 5 and 11 a.m. This is why breakfast is the most essential meal of the day since it is when your digestive organs are functioning at their best!
Have you ever had trouble staying asleep, only to notice that you wake up at the same time every evening? Next time you have insomnia, take a look at what time you are most frequently waking up. Could it be between 1 and 3 AM when our liver energy is most prominent? It could be because when we are overly stressed, it directly effects the liver.
Following the science of this ancient clock to determine which activities should be done at different times of the day can considerably improve your day to day well-being.
