The Organ Clock

In Chinese medicine, your energy flows in a fixed daily rhythm: every two hours one organ is especially active. This often explains everyday things, such as why you always wake up at the same time, or why you feel a dip after lunch.

The organ clock is a classic model from Chinese medicine about daily rhythms, intended for inspiration and recognition, not as a diagnosis. Do you have persistent complaints? Discuss them with a practitioner or your GP.
