The Liver in Spring

Spring is the season of the Liver. Just as nature stretches and expands, the Liver energy rises, encouraging growth, vision, and movement. But when this energy becomes stuck—whether from stress, lack of movement, or emotional suppression—it can lead to:

  • PMS, cramps, irregular cycles

  • Mood swings, irritability, frustration

  • Digestive discomfort or bloating

  • A general feeling of being “stuck” or off balance

Supporting the Liver & Emotional Flow

In the Nei Jing, health is the result of qi flowing freely. When we support the Liver, we support our ability to adapt, to respond gracefully to stress, and to maintain hormonal and emotional harmony.


Here’s how to tend your Liver this season:

  • Move your body daily. Gentle stretching, walking, or dancing can help release stuck qi.

  • Express emotions. Journaling, talking, or creative expression helps process what the Liver stores.

  • Eat greens. Leafy spring vegetables, sour flavors (like lemon or vinegar), and light meals nourish the Liver.

  • Avoid over-control. Give yourself permission to flow rather than force—Liver qi thrives on flexibility.

A cycle-aware lens

The Liver also influences the premenstrual and menstrual phases of your cycle. If your qi is flowing well, periods arrive with ease and clarity. If Liver qi is stagnant, you might experience bloating, breast tenderness, emotional tension, or pain. Acupuncture and herbs are especially effective in supporting this transition.
