In TCM, the liver ensures smooth Qi flow—physically and emotionally. The spleen transforms food into Qi and blood, our energy source. When stress builds, the liver can overact on the spleen. #StudyAcupunctureWithMe #TCMboards #AcupunctureStudent

When lung qi is weak, three big things happen. Breathing becomes shallow, mouth breathing becomes default, and we wake up tired. Let's support our lungs together for deeper sleep! #StudyAcupunctureWithMe #TCMboards #AcupunctureStudent

Let's explore how the heart governs blood, working with our lungs (Qi!) for circulation. The spleen transports nourishment, especially to our limbs, and the liver stores & distributes blood based on activity. Together, we thrive!  #TCMboards #AcupunctureStudent
