We're in late-July in Santa Rosa, which means long, hot days and ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐. In Chinese Medicine, this is the Fire element season -- when our Heart energy and spirit (the Shen) are most active.
In balance, that's joy, connection, and clarity. Run a little too hot and it can tip into restless sleep, irritability, indigestion, or feeling overwhelmed.
A few simple ways to cool the fire:
๐ฏ๐๐
๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐
๐ -- cucumber, watermelon, mint or chrysanthemum tea
Go easy on alcohol, spicy food, and the midday sun between 11am and 3pm
Try a little gentle qigong in the early morning, or go for a nice walk in the cool am or later pm hours.
Acupuncture helps here too -- it calms the nervous system and eases the stress that heat piles on. If summer is showing up in your body, come in for a tune-up.
We are delighted to offer a ๐๐๐๐๐-๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ to increase treatment frequency and give you a total reset, opening Mondays starting August 3rd. And yes, those are dreamy zero-gravity massage chairs.
