Springtime: this is how you grow

Spring is the season of the Wood element. It is a time for renewal, rebirth and the moment is ripe for new beginnings. The organs of the Wood element are the Gall Bladder and the Liver. Each of these organs have physiological functions, as well as psycho-spiritual functions.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has a more nuanced view of the function of the heart than biomedicine, but they both agree that the heart propels the blood through the vessels. In biomedicine, the heart is little more than a pump.
