According to traditional Chinese medicine, our body is
divided in certain energy meridians related to different organs. These
meridians are channels similar to blood vessels that affect your body and
health.
The Chinese biological clock can show us the intervals of
energy circulating in the body and the strongest energy levels in a certain
area every 2 hours. If there’s a problem in an area, the symptoms will surely
be noticeable. There are 12 meridians connected to every major organ – the
lungs, large intestine, stomach, spleen, heart, small intestine, bladder, heart
area, kidney, duodenum, gallbladder and liver meridians. The yin-yang says that
they are divide into 6 yin and 6 yang meridians. The yin meridians are the
liver, lungs, spleen, heart, kidney and heart, while the yang meridians are the
colon, stomach, bladder, small intestine, duodenum and gallbladder.
The energy meridians work for 24 hours divided in 2 12-hour
intervals, with each meridian hitting its peak when another one is at its
lowest energy level. This is why Chinese doctors always ask their patients at
what time the symptoms occurred – this helps them easily identify the problem.
Following the biological clock is an important process. Note the time of day
you’re feeling energetic, and also when you wake up at night – everything will
tell you where there’s a problem in your body.

Time of

As we mentioned previously, a meridian has its peak when
another has its low point. The highest energy levels of the liver for example
are between 1 and 3 AM, when the small intestine has the lowest energy levels.
Eating late and then going to sleep causes the food not to be fully absorbed in
the small intestine, so you need to avoid certain activities during that part
of the day.
If an organ shows any weakness during the maximum activity,
you should strengthen it. There are plenty of natural remedies and methods such
as acupuncture and homeopathy that can help you in cases of energy problems.
