If you are like most people, one of your main New Year’s Resolutions was probably to detox from the overload of holiday food and drink. Such rich food and drink puts added stress on our liver, kidneys and intestines, which begin sending us warning signs that it may in fact be time for a detox.
When thinking of how the body attempts to detoxify one must keep in mind the gallbladder. It plays a key role in assisting the digestive system and pairs with the liver to aid in its important detoxing functions. In the view of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) greasy foods and alcohol consumption disturb the balance of the gallbladder and may cause diarrhoea, abdominal pains or gallstones. Cholesterol problems are also an indication of an improper functioning of the gallbladder system. TCM can help to correct this and other imbalances, preventing cardiac diseases.
Your TCM practitioner will diagnose the health of your gallbladder and liver by checking to see whether it is in balance with the rest of the major organs. In addition the pulse will be assessed along with the color and condition of the tongue, eyes and skin. This will allow for a personalized treatment catered to the patients needs.
