According to the Chinese Calendar, the winter season is here. It is a time for rest, rejuvenation, deep meditation, and refining the spiritual essence. It is also the time of the water element and the organs of the Kidneys and Bladder.

- Hearing: hearing loss, ear infections and disorders
- Hair: premature graying and hair loss
- Urinary, sexual and reproductive problems
