Earth: Iced drinks shock the spleen
Iced drinks shock the spleen. Have you ever shared a meal with someone that requests their beverage sans ice? What might they know that you don’t? Cold damages our organs. One of the ways that we can prevent dis-ease and invite balance is to say no to iced beverages and foods. If you check your tongue and it is a bit fuller than it should be or has indentions on the sides you really, really should give up the iced drinks and cold eats. The earth element is faith when balanced and worry when out of balance. Struggling with this spectrum? Give up the ice and warm up your spleen. We do use herbs (like artemesia pictured) to start the healing process in formulas or on the acu points themselves by warming them with moxabustion.
