The Horary Clock

To promote health by following the body's natural rhythm, one has the follow the Horary clock showing the peak hours each organ functions. It is also at this time that a specific organ is best treated:

11AM to 1PM - Heart

1PM to 3PM - Small Intestine

3PM to 5PM - Urinary Bladder

5PM to 7PM - Kidney

7PM to 9PM - Pericardium

9PM to 11PM - Triple Burner

11PM to 1AM - Gallbladder

1AM to 3AM - Liver

3AM to 5AM - Lung

5AM to 7AM - Large intestine

7AM to 9AM - Stomach

9AM to 11AM - Spleen

The Horary clock above shows that the Gallbladder meridian is most active from 11PM to 1AM. In addition to that, according to the law of transformation of Yin and Yang where extreme Yin produces Yang and extreme Yang produces Yin, the gallbladder is responsible for giving birth to the first Yang energy of the 24 hour cycle. This Yang energy in its infantile state is highly vulnerable. Therefore, we must protect and allow it to grow through proper sleep.
