5pm to 7pm - Kidney Time
Organs related: Kidney. This is the time when the blood is filtered and the Kidneys work to maintain proper chemical balance in your body. Kidneys are also the organs that store your vital life essence or core energy reserves related to reproduction and longevity.
What you should do: Start to wind down and restore your energy. Put yourself first.
Interesting fact: If you feel extreme fatigue during this time, you may have kidney deficiency issues which also come with lack of libido, lower back pain, early graying of hair. Feelings of fear and terror can creep in if the kidneys are not in good shape as well. For those who plan on regular after-work rowdy socializations and you are experiencing these symptoms, it is time to reconsider the lifestyle habits at this time in favor for some self care and rest and rejuvenation.
