7-9 pm Pericardium

 

For those new to TCM, symptoms occuring at a certain time of day can

give clues about the Root of the problem. There are times during the

day when certain Organs will exhibit their most acute symptoms. (The

Layman's Guide to Acupuncture, Yoshio Manaka, M.D., Ian A. Urqahart,

Ph.D., p.78.

 

The other times are:

 

9 pm to 11 pm - Triple Heater (San Jiao)

11 pm to 1 am - Gall Bladder

1 am to 3 am - Liver

3 am to 5 am - Lungs

5 am to 7 am - Large Intestine

7 am to 9 am - Stomach

9 am to 11 am - Spleen

11 am to 1 pm - Heart

1 pm to 3 pm - Small Intestine

3 pm to 5 pm - Bladder

5 pm to 7 pm - Kidneys

 

In some cases treatment will not work unless it is performed at a

certain time of day. (BTW, I saw on the news the other day that

Western medicine is now looking at the difference the timing of the

treatment can make.)

 

There also is an alternative viewpoint to what the time of day

means. I don't understand it well enough to do it justice. There

are some posts in the message base by a poster who has studied it. Do

searches for time, am, pm, etc.
