Get Ready For Spring, Ⅱ
What do these seasonal changes mean for you as a human being? Well, just like anything in life, there are pros and cons to this process and experience.

The pro is that you may be feeling a surge in energy, an uplifting of your mood and a general emotional state with a sunnier disposition.
This naturally ascending process of the Chi has its definite benefits.
Well the cons, oh, they can be plentiful. This is the time of year many of you may experience problems with your head.
Why?
This is because your head is the highest point of your body. If energy [Chi] is ascending, especially in a rapid and unrestrained manner, you can have a lot of problems like:
- headaches
- ringing in the ears
- redness especially of the face
- tearing, burning eyes
- acne, rashes
- toohaches
- and even sinus problems

Chi is also moving from the deepest aspects of your body, the interior, to the more superficial aspects of your body, the exterior. With this in mind you may often times have problems with your skin. This may show as rashes, redness, irritation, dryness, flakiness, boils and acne…and everything in between.
Health issue problems with your head and, or your skin can easily occur when the grounding aspects [Yin Level] of your body are deficient. This particular Chinese Medicine Pattern can be referenced with your Kidney Organ System and Yin Level aspects. Your Kidney Organ System [the main system that is involved in building your Yin Levels] acts as an anchor to your body’s Chi. If your anchors are not plentiful enough, the more subtle aspects of your body, as with your Yang and Chi, can ascend in a out-of-control manner. This can lead to the health issues listed above.
A standard solution in these examples would be to strengthen your Yin Levels with a Chinese Herbal Formula Program. This strategy is a very unique concept in Chinese Medicine Philosophy. Sometimes when treating an excess problem, you must strengthen its counterbalance properties.
In this particular case, an appropriate remedy would be a Kidney Yin Tonic, such as our Water of Life Kidney Yin Formula.
