In this episode, the first in 2023 and the third of the organ system series by Eric Grey, we discuss one of the most important Chinese medicine organ systems - Gān 肝, the Liver!
I first discuss some slight changes to the series to make it simpler and more applicable to everyday concerns. Then we talk about the major symbols associated with the Liver & dive into the organ clock as it relates to this multi-purpose and regenerative organ.
Finally, we discuss the importance of the Liver in gynecological condition treatment including a little foray into differential diagnosis. Please feel free to leave feedback and suggestions for the next podcast on our podcast page!
