THE HUMAN BODY ENERGY CLOCK

THE HUMAN BODY ENERGY CLOCK

Every two hours there is an energy shift in your body, with one organ taking over from another. TCM Australia founder, ShuQuan Liu,Doctor of TCMA, says a person’s organs have energy peaks and troughs throughout the day so it’s good to know when that occurs so you can become in tune with your body.

“Our organs are like a factory; each with a specific function and all of them working together as a team,” the Chinese medicine expert says.

A daily energy clock helps people understand how their organs work throughout the day.

Here is a daily human body energy clock.
