Happy Healthy Spring Equinox. For Five Element Acupuncturist like myself, Equinoxes and Solstices mark the time of year for special seasonal treatments – Horary treatments. These are done on the Equinox (or Solstice); I also offer them 3 days before and 3 days after. For best effect, they are needled during the organ time. Horary treatments help balance, support and enhance the gifts of a certain element in a person. Spring Horaries tap into the gifts of the Wood element and organ systems that resonate with the season: Liver & Gallbladder.
Some gifts of the wood element are (think of a seed sprouting & growing to the sun): great planning and execution, vision, creativity, flexibility, benevolence. Some people shine with these gifts, others need support. Horary treatments help humans tap into these elemental virtues.
Taking wood and spring as the example. Liver 1 (wood in Liver ( yin wood) and Gb41 (Wood on Gallbladder (yang wood) are needled ideally between 11pm and 3am in the morning. I have never offered treatment at this time of night and I do offer the treatment during treatment hours. Have these points needled
