Spring is a new beginning. The sight of the green color of tender young plants nourishes the soul through the eyes. Appetite for food decreases and the body naturally cleanses itself.
This is the season to focus on the liver and gallbladder. The first signs of liver disharmony are emotions related to anger: impatience, arrogance, stubbornness, frustration. Mood swings are also liver-related. According to Traditional Chinese medicine, when the liver is in harmony, there is never stress or tension.

The diet should be the lightest of the year – young plants, fresh greens like watercress. Try this simple recipe to bring lightness and freshness to your body and mind this spring season.
