Spring is on it's way ! For most people it is a time thast brings joy, light, and happy days. For others it is a time of itchy eyes, sore throats, chest infections, hayfever and exhaustion.

Don't be deceived by the extra sunlight, as cold and wind are still present and our body is naturally weaker and more tired at present due to the change in season. It is therefore important to boost your immune system now, get plenty of rest, and cleanse the liver, as in Traditional Chinese Medicine it is the liver which is the main organ affected at this time of the year.

A few ways to take good care would be to take an essence such as milk thistle. You could also use juices to cleanse the body. However if you are developing symptoms such as sinusitis, hayfever, itchy eyes, or chest infections, then your body does need a boost at this time which may require a treatment such as acupuncture or homeopathy.
