Re: ALLERGIC REACTION-HIVES after Flush

Well...from a Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective this is most interesting!

Read this page on the Liver: http://www.tcmstudent.com/organfunction/functionlv.shtml

"It may become reckless or hot and cause skin problems or emotional problems."

The Lungs actually rule the skin (in TCM) and the lungs house the emotions guilt, grief, sadness...The Lungs 'control' the Liver - so you should look to your Lungs (calming them - in TCM they might say that your lungs were 'excessive' instead of 'deficient') and strengthening your Liver...so that it can't be controlled by your Lungs. hmmmmmm. I suppose that although the Liver Flushes are strengthening your liver, long-term - it's the short-term weakening of the liver that causes the outbreaks?

Hmmmm...are you taking milk thistle and dandelion tincture to help strengthen your liver/gallbladder?

How about the emotions that go with the liver/gallbladder (anger, frustration...?) Do you feel that those emotions are being released and eliminated with the flushes too?

Here is another page about the relationships between the organs and the emotions: http://lieske.com/5e-intro.htm

Glad you got the hives under control!
