The Body Clock in Traditional Chinese Medicine: Understanding Our Energy Cycles for Health and Healing

LUNGS: Detachment & Courage Organ Time Strongest Activity = 3am - 5amWeakest Activity = 3pm - 5pm In TCM, the lung and colon have a polarized relationship and the interaction of both organs is to be found in the symptoms of many diseases. A cough thus corresponds to diarrhea, for example, or an irritable bowel could be described as asthma of the colon. LIVER: Transformation, Renewal & Change Organ Time Strongest Activity = 1am - 3amWeakest Activity = 1pm - 3pm Medicine sees the liver as the key metabolic organ. Food is dissolved by the digestive juices of the stomach, pancreas, gallbladder, and gut, and is then passed on to the liver for further processing.

If liver function is compromised, feelings of tiredness or lethargy occur at its main organ times: hyperfunction from 1am to 3am, hypofunction from 1pm to 3pm. These are also the best times for treating the liver or providing support for it.
