In Spring, the main organ is the liver, and in Summer, the heart.

But... why is THIS organ specific for THAT season? How is it determined?
In the different seasons, there are different elements, emotions, nature ('yin' vs 'yang') as well as an associated organ. The organ is identified to be the weakest during the season and most vulnerable to the changing elements of nature. As such, caring for the associated organ is incredibly important to stay strong and healthy.

Chamomile is a popular herb used to help with the detoxification of the body. The sesquiterpene lactone content in Chamomile is particularly efficient at detoxifying the liver, strengthening it through stimulating the expulsion of bile from the gallbladder.

American ginseng is believed to possess adaptogenic properties that help balance the body's vital energy, known as Qi. By promoting Qi balance, it helps alleviate symptoms associated with heart imbalances such as palpitations, irregular heartbeat, and anxiety. A part of balancing Qi is the nourishment of 'Yin' (the nourishing and cooling aspects of the body). American ginseng is believed to have Yin-nourishing properties, which can help nourish the heart and support its proper functioning.

American ginseng also has a calming effect on the body, helping to reduce stress, anxiety, and promoting a sense of calmness. By reducing emotional stress, it indirectly supports heart health, as chronic stress is linked to increased risk factors for heart disease.
