Some have theorized that people wake during the two hour periods corresponding to certain organs. For instance, people who wake habitually between 11pm and 1am may either have a problem in the GB system, or the system across the organ clock - the HT. I have never heard a particular robust account of this theory, and most practitioners I know use it as a relatively minor piece of diagnostic information among the larger amount of information provided by the pulse, tongue and the rest of the history taking. In general - the organ time correspondences are as such: Heart: 11-1pm Small Intestine: 1-3pm Bladder: 3-5pm Kidney: 5-7pm Pericardium: 7-9pm Triple Burner/Heater: 9-11pm Gall Bladder: 11-1am Liver: 1-3am Lung: 3-5am Large Intestine: 5-7am Stomach: 7-9am Spleen: 9-11am ... back to Heart I hope this helps. Eric Karina,

Thank you for your comment. Some have theorized that people wake during the two hour periods corresponding to certain organs.

In general – the organ time correspondences are as such:

Heart: 11-1pm
Small Intestine: 1-3pm
Bladder: 3-5pm
Kidney: 5-7pm
Pericardium: 7-9pm
Triple Burner/Heater: 9-11pm
Gall Bladder: 11-1am
Liver: 1-3am
Lung: 3-5am
Large Intestine: 5-7am
Stomach: 7-9am
Spleen: 9-11am
… back to Heart

I hope this helps.

Is there anywhere you can point me to to explore this further in order to pinpoint and treat the body???
