According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), every organ system has a two-hour window during the day when its Qi is at its peak. When that system is strong, you move through that time effortlessly. Your internal clock doesn\u2019t need to function with the precision of a Swiss watchmaker, but when it\u2019s noticeably off, your body lets you know.<br><br>In this update from our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/blog\/ancient-secrets-of-the-chinese-clock.html\">introductory blog post on the TCM clock<\/a>, we\u2019re shifting from theory to practice, focusing on how to bring your clock back into balance when certain organ systems are struggling, and what simple daily adjustments can help restore harmony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Lungs | 3 a.m. \u2013 5 a.m.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Common signs of imbalance: waking during this window, coughing, shallow breathing, frequent sighing, lingering grief, sadness, or difficulty letting go either physically or emotionally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>How to reset the clock:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"x-short-quote-right\">Your internal clock doesn\u2019t need to function with the precision of a Swiss watchmaker, but when it\u2019s noticeably off, your body lets you know. <\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This is meant to be the deepest sleep of the night. Staying up late, emotional overload, or dry indoor air can all tax Lung Qi. Aim for lights out by 10:30 p.m., prioritize nasal breathing during sleep, and avoid heavy meals or alcohol late at night. Gentle evening breathwork or a short gratitude practice before bed helps the Lungs release what they\u2019ve been holding onto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Herbal support:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several patterns of imbalance that may cause Lung Qi deficiency.
