Ancient Chinese medicine, its teaching, for thousands of years, is based on chronobiological rules that are increasingly applied in the West. The physiological functions of our organism change during 24 hours, depending on the biorhythm that is repeated daily according to the established clock. If we respect this biological clock, we can determine when we are most ready for work and when for sleep, as well as when our immune system is weakest, what is the best time for recreation, when we should take medication to make their effect most optimal, etc.
Internal biological clock:
03-05h (Meridian of the lungs): The lungs have the maximum energy activity in this period, which is responsible for the free flow of energy and respiratory diseases. In case of lack of circulating energy, insomnia with melancholy and sudden depression is possible.
05-07h (Colon Meridian): The colon is the meridian that has the most activity in this time interval. This is the period when, in addition to physical emptying, it is also recommended emotionally, in order to get rid of anxiety. It causes crying in children.
07-09h (Stomach Meridian): Time to use for breakfast. The stomach breaks down food during this period, so bloating or a feeling of hunger can occur if the meal is not balanced and healthy.
09-11h (Meridian of the spleen and pancreas): In the period from 9 to 11h the spleen is in charge of converting the ingested food into energy. An imbalance in the work of the spleen causes lethargy of the mind, attention deficit and lack of energy. In case you feel tired after eating, relieve it with tea salt.
11-13h (Meridian of the heart): This is the time to use for lunch, but without coffee and any activities that cause the heart to beat. Feelings of heat on the palms, increased shyness and a tendency to confuse are possible.
13-15h (Meridian of the small intestine): It is possible that the consequences of mild dehydration are manifested in this period, in case you have not taken in enough fluids by this part of the day. Care should be taken as this can cause bloating and ulceration.
15-17h (Meridian of the bladder): The time of day when you will feel tired. A bladder that has a problem manifests itself by tingling when urinating or fungal infections.
17-19h (Kidney Meridian): Kidney energy activity is highest in this period. When the kidneys are not in balance, abundant urination, a feeling of coldness in the legs and a problem with sexual potency are possible.
19-21h (Meridian of the pericardium, membranes that line the heart): The sensitivity of the body is increased, so deep breathing and activity that relaxes you is recommended. Pain in the upper extremities and tension in the shoulder muscles are characteristic discomfort for this meridian.
21-23h (Meridian of the triple heater): Weakness, increased fatigue, ringing in the ears. This time of night is the right time to sleep.
23-01h (Gallbladder Meridian): The gallbladder is responsible for secreting bile, and emotionally, it is responsible for the feeling of self-esteem and decision-making. It is recommended as a period for going to sleep.
01-03h (Liver meridian): In Chinese medicine, the menstrual cycle is associated with the liver, so in this meridian, a cycle disorder is possible when accompanied by dissatisfaction and apathy.
