Have you ever had these feelings? Your arms often feel sore and numb, and your calves are prone to cramps when you sleep at night. You may wonder what’s going on. This is because our internal organs have accumulated too many toxins, and the body is sending us a distressful signal and asking for help. Regular detoxification is absolutely necessary for a healthy body, but do you know where the toxins are hiding in your body? Let’s explore.
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), an issue with your kidneys can affect your voice and your speech quality, and your voice may sound hoarse. If you have heart issues, your left arm may be sore, numb, and painful; and you are more prone to tongue ulcers, insomnia, and heart palpitations. When your spleen and stomach are weak, you may experience migraine and fat accumulation, especially in the abdomen. If your liver is stressed out, you may experience cramps in your calves at night when you sleep; and the surface of your nails may have raised ridges or sunken downwards. When you suffer from lung issues, you may experience constipation because the lung meridian is associated with the large intestine meridian, and you may be more emotionally sensitive to sadness and grief.If there is an issue with the internal organs, it is necessary to detoxify them in a targeted manner, otherwise, the accumulation of toxins will cause more damage to the body down the road. Let’s look into the solutions on how to detoxify each organ specifically.
The
“Shaofu”(HT-8) acupoint is one of the
most important acupoints on your palm when it comes to detoxifying the heart
meridian. When a loose fist is
made, the Shaofu acupoint is located
at the tip of the little finger between the 4th and 5th metacarpal bones. You
can add some pressure when pressing this point and alternative both of your
hands.
Did you know that foods with a bitter
taste help detoxify the heart meridian? The most popular remedy from TCM to
detoxify the heart meridian is the core of lotus seeds, it looks like a small
green shoot and has a bitter taste. It
disperses the excess fire in the heart meridian but does not affect the Qi
(energy flow) in the body, so it has been considered the best food to dissolve
excess heat in the heart meridian due to toxins overload. You can use it to
make tea, and add some licorice root to enhance the potency of its
detoxification.
The best time to detoxify the heart
meridian is around noon between 11 am to 1 pm because the energy is peaking in
the heart meridian during this period. Foods with red color help nurture the
heart, such as dates and berries. Longan fruit has been long regarded as a heart-tonifying
fruit. A short nap during this period also helps rejuvenate your heart and
facilitate the detoxification process.
