❤️🔥 Summer in Traditional Chinese Medicine is known as Heart Season, the time of the Fire Element.
This is the season of joy, connection, warmth, and outward energy. The Heart governs not only circulation, but also sleep, emotional balance, mental clarity, and our sense of inner peace.
But in the Imperial Valley, where summer heat can become extreme, the Fire element can become excessive. This often shows up as restlessness, irritability, poor sleep, anxiety, brain fog, and feeling “wired but tired.”
This carousel breaks down a few common Heart patterns seen in summer, along with simple acupuncture points that help support balance during the hottest months of the year.
❤️🔥 Welcome to Heart Season.
