What time of day is associated with the Pericardium?

The time of day associated with the Pericardium is 7-9 pm. In traditional Chinese medicine, each organ is linked to a specific two-hour period during the day, reflecting its peak activity and energetic qualities. The Pericardium, which acts as a protective covering for the heart and is involved in regulating emotional well-being and protecting the heart from external pathogens, is emphasized during the evening hours.

This particular time slot aligns with the natural circadian rhythm, where organ systems are believed to be more active and engaged in processes such as circulation and emotional regulation. Hence, during the 7-9 pm window, the body is thought to be channeling energy towards the Pericardium, making it crucial for understanding its role in health and disease. This knowledge is integral for practitioners in both diagnosis and treatment planning within the framework of Materia Medica and Pharmacology.
