The main organs in our body are the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys. As long as we take good care of them, our health will thrive. Below, we share a comprehensive guide to nourishing the five organs for everyone to understand.

1. Nourishing the Heart

1. Foot Massage with Mung Beans for Heart Tranquility: Heat 500 grams of mung beans in a cast iron pot over low heat, then pour them into a basin. After washing and drying your feet, step on the mung beans, massaging as you go. Do this for about 30 minutes, one hour before bedtime, to strengthen the heart and calm the spirit.

2. Pressing the Navel to Soothe Emotions: The navel has the Shenque (Spirit Gate) point. Press the navel with your index finger for 5-7 minutes each night before sleep to settle the heart and calm the mind, ensuring a peaceful sleep.

3. Goji Berries and Jujube Seeds for Heart Nourishment: Jujube seeds and goji berries nourish the heart blood, while Schisandra (Wu Wei Zi) helps to gather heart qi. Brew 30 grams of goji berries, 40 grams of roasted jujube seeds, and 10 grams of Schisandra into tea. After three days, sleep quality will improve, and you will feel energetic at work.

4. Those with Congenital Weakness of the Heart Should Sleep Early: Drinking a cup of carrot juice or tomato juice before bed can nourish the heart.

5. For Those with Heart Blood Deficiency, Consume Longan Porridge: 100 grams of longan flesh (Gui Yuan Rou) and 120 grams of glutinous rice. First, wash the glutinous rice and cook it until half done, then add the longan flesh and cook until done. Regular consumption of this porridge can nourish the heart, calm the spirit, replenish blood, and beautify the skin. Longan contains essential proteins and sugars, primarily glucose, which is easily absorbed by the body, making it an excellent beauty supplement.

2. Soothe the Liver

1. “Ah Shi Point” Therapy to Alleviate Liver Discomfort: “Ah Shi Point” means “wherever it hurts is the acupoint,” requiring no analysis or identification. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) believes that “pain indicates blockage.” By gently tapping the painful area rhythmically with your fingers, you can relieve liver spasms, pain, and discomfort.

2. Brew Tea with Reishi, Ligustrum, Astragalus, Licorice, and Siberian Ginseng: Regular consumption can protect the liver and combat aging.

3. Since the liver opens to the eyes, rest your eyes for at least 5 minutes every hour.

4. Eat More Green and Sour Foods: In the five colors and five flavors, green corresponds to the liver, and sour nourishes the liver. Therefore, those with liver deficiency should frequently consume green and sour foods. Green plums, which are green and sour, can reduce the damage of alcohol to the liver when brewed into wine.

5. Brew Tea with Rose Flowers: Use 1-3 flowers at a time to help soothe the liver and relieve depression.

6. Liver Nourishing Congee: Combine 10 grams of tremella, 10 grams of chrysanthemum, 15 grams of goji berries, and 100 grams of glutinous rice in a pot with an appropriate amount of water to cook congee. After the congee is cooked, add an appropriate amount of honey to consume.

3. Strengthen the Spleen

1. Ginger and Moxa Moxibustion: Use ginger slices to separate moxa from the acupoints and perform moxibustion on the Zhongwan (Middle Cavity), Tianshu (Heavenly Pivot), Qihai (Sea of Qi), Guanyuan (Gate of Origin), and Zusanli (Leg Three Miles) points to regulate the spleen and stomach, warm the stomach to stop vomiting, and regulate qi to relieve pain.

2. Abdominal Gua Sha: Abdominal Gua Sha can help restore normal peristalsis in the intestines and stomach, balancing the yin and yang of the organs.

3. 10 Red Dates, 10 grams of Bai Zhu (White Atractylodes), 30 grams of Fu Ling (Poria), and 100 grams of Japonica rice: Wash and pit the red dates, crush the Poria, and cook with the Japonica rice to make congee for breakfast.

4. 500 grams of red dates, pitted, boiled until soft, and reduced to a paste, then mix with 500 grams of white sugar: Take 15 grams each time, twice daily, mixed with warm water. Regular consumption of this paste can nourish deficiency, treat ailments, prolong life, and beautify the skin.

5. Regulating the Spleen and Stomach Requires Single Lifting: This is one of the movements of the Ba Duan Jin (Eight Pieces of Brocade), which strengthens the spleen and stomach, especially suitable for those with anxiety and irregular eating habits to practice frequently.

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Raise your right hand with the palm facing up and fingers together, pointing to the left, while pressing down with your left hand, palm facing down and fingers pointing forward, with the thumb spread out. Look up at the right fingertips for a moment.

After returning to the starting position, alternate the hands and repeat the movement multiple times.

4. Nourish the Lungs

1. Breathing Exercises: Cypress trees can purify the lungs and calm the spirit. Every day from 8-10 AM or 3-5 PM, breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth under a cypress tree, doing this 12 times. Long-term adherence can supplement lung qi deficiency.

2. Luo Han Guo and Autumn Pear Syrup are Excellent for Lung Nourishment: Autumn pears and Luo Han Guo have strong medicinal properties that can quickly strengthen the respiratory system and lung function.

3. White Foods Can Strengthen the Lungs: They can also reduce skin sensitivity. Lily is excellent for moistening the lungs and stopping coughs, providing the best effects for respiratory health. Additionally, white radish, white fungus, and white sesame also have effects of generating fluids and moistening the lungs.

4. Those with Lung Yin Deficiency Need to Supplement Lung Qi and Nourish Lung Yin by Consuming “Lily Congee”: Prepare 30 grams of lily, 100 grams of Japonica rice, and an appropriate amount of rock sugar. Cook the lily and Japonica rice with an appropriate amount of water. When the congee is nearly done, add the rock sugar and cook for a while longer, consuming it morning and night.

3. Consume Naturally Salty Foods: Because salty corresponds to the kidneys, such as kelp and nori.

4. Eat More Nuts that Nourish the Kidneys: Such as chestnuts, walnuts, and cashews.

5. Eat Kidney-Nourishing Vegetables: Such as yam and legumes. Soaking black beans in vinegar can replenish “water” and treat “deficiency.” Black beans are rich in protein, helping the body synthesize amino acids and B vitamins, making them a golden remedy in TCM for treating kidney yin deficiency.

6. Kidney Nourishing and Beautifying Congee: 30 grams of sesame, 50 grams of walnut kernels, and an appropriate amount of glutinous rice cooked together with an appropriate amount of water for breakfast.

7. External Labor Palace Kidney Nourishing Method: Every night before sleep, press the backs of both hands tightly against the lower back while lying on the bed for 5-10 minutes, allowing the warmth to gradually spread throughout the body.
