The organs in Chinese medicine are more than just a physical representation. The organs include not only their physiological function, but also mental, emotional, spiritual and elemental qualities that align with nature and the seasons. Let’s explore the kidneys.
The kidney element in Chinese medicine governs water and is associated with the season of winter, where the energies are turning from the hotter yang months to the more yin of winter. Each organ has an element associated with it: liver and wood, stomach and earth, kidney and water, for example. There is also an emotion, a color and flavor associated with the organ system. For the kidneys, the emotion is fear, the color is dark or black and the flavor is salty. It also opens to the ear, has the direction of north and is paired with the bladder. The kidney element houses willpower and manifests in the teeth and luster of the hair. continue reading

Do you take care of everyone else while neglecting yourself? Have you gained weight from not paying attention to what you eat? Do you feel exhausted and depleted? Does the thought of being by yourself scare you? Are you tired of the monotony of your life?
Self-care is often the first thing we drop when we are overwhelmed. The times when we feel least able to make time for self-care are the times when we most need it.
We are offering a complimentary 21 day self-care challenge starting Sunday, January 7, 2018. Each day, challenge participants will receive an email with actions to tune into their spiritual, emotional and physical needs and create time and space for self-care. The activities will help participants nurture their bodies, calm their minds, uplift their spirits, feel more connected with themselves, their body and others, and reclaim their health and joy.
If you are interested in learning more about the challenge, you can contact Amy at 815.814.1319 or enroll online.

Large Intestine 4 is one of the most important and influential points in the entire body. The Chinese name for Large Intestine 4 is “He Gu” meaning union valley or converging valley. The point is located on the hand in the web between the thumb and index finger, also described as the depression where the index finger and thumb bones part. This area of the hand is often described as “valley like” hence the name converging valley.
The large intestine has many important functions in the body. Connected to the Western medicine function of the large Intestine, it is vital in digestion and bowel regulation, but it also has many functions above and beyond that in Chinese medicine.
