Spring in TCM: Renewal, Growth & Balance

Sep 12, 2025

Spring is a season of renewal and growth, inviting us to move, expand, and embrace change.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), spring is linked with the wood element and the liver organ system. The liver is responsible for keeping Qi (energy) and blood flowing smoothly, and when this energy is balanced we feel motivated, clear-headed, and energised. When it becomes stagnant, we may notice irritability, headaches, tension, or digestive issues.

Emotional renewal

Spring is also connected with emotional energy. This season can bring unresolved feelings to the surface, giving us an opportunity to release what we’ve been holding on to and transform it into fresh inspiration.

Acupuncture in spring

Acupuncture offers gentle, effective support as your body adjusts to the shift in season. Treatments may help regulate liver Qi, ease stress, improve digestion, and bring relief from hay fever and seasonal allergies. Many people also notice a lift in energy, clarity, and emotional resilience. For this reason, spring is the perfect time for a seasonal reset—clearing away the heaviness of winter and welcoming the vitality of a new cycle.

Simple ways to align with spring

In addition to Acupuncture treatments, you can also support your body by making simple seasonal adjustments. Aim for fresh, green foods that nourish the liver and keep your body moving with stretching or walks outdoors. Setting new intentions at this time of year also aligns beautifully with the expansive energy of spring.

At AcuWellness, we love supporting our community through the rhythm of the seasons. Book your seasonal reset today and let your energy flow freely into the months ahead.
