In Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine each of 12 main organs in the body function with the most strength and energy for 2 hours within the 24 hour day and night cycle. Knowing the circadian rhythm of the body helps practitioners determine a pattern of disease leading to a more specific treatment.
- 3 am -5 am Lung (yin)
- 5 am -7 am Large Intestine (yang)
- 7 am - 9 am Stomach (yang)
- 9 am - 11 am Spleen/Pancreas (yin)
- 11 am 1 pm Heart (yin)
- 1 pm - 3 pm Small Intestine (yang)
- 3 pm - 5 pm Urinary Bladder (yang)
- 5 pm -7 pm Kidney (yin)
- 7 pm - 9pm Pericardium (yin)
- 9 pm - 11 pm Triple Heater (yang)
- 11 pm - 1 am Gall Bladder (yang)
- 1 am - 3 am Liver (yin)
If a patient seems to consistently vomit around midnight each evening, then the liver or gall bladder may be the underlying cause versus a patient who vomits in the morning and therefore likely has a spleen or stomach imbalance.
