 In traditional Chinese medicine, the body operates on a unique clock, where each organ has its moments to shine. For the lungs, that time is in the early hours between 3 and 5 a.m. This is when lung chi, the corresponding energy of the organ, is at its peak, empowering the lungs to cleanse the body and circulate life-giving chi. When we wake during these hours, it might signal a lung imbalance, often linked to emotions like sadness or grief. We can restore balance through acupuncture, targeting specific points to harmonize lung chi, alongside cupping therapy to enhance circulation and vitality. Practices like tai chi at dawn, herbal remedies such as ginseng, and lung nourishing foods can work to strengthen lung health and ensure chi flows smoothly. Incorporating deep breathing exercises into your daily routine can also impact lung chi, promoting relaxation and healing.
