🍂 Why Do We Get Sick When the Seasons Change?
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), our body’s natural defenses are closely connected to the strength of our Protective Qi (Wei Qi) — the energy believed to help protect us from external influences and maintain balance.
As the seasons change, our bodies must adapt to new temperatures, routines, and environmental conditions. This is a perfect time to pay extra attention to our immunity, digestion, and overall well-being. 🌿
✨ In TCM, late summer is associated with the Earth element, which governs the Spleen and Stomach systems. These systems are traditionally viewed as essential for transforming food into energy and nourishing the rest of the body.
How can we support this balance?
🍵 Choose warm, nourishing meals.
💧 Avoid excessive amounts of ice-cold drinks if they upset your digestion.
😴 Prioritize restful sleep.
🧘♀️ Find ways to manage stress, worry, and anxiety.
🌱 Maintain consistent daily routines and listen to your body.
According to TCM, the Spleen and Stomach support the Lung and Large Intestine systems. That’s why digestive balance is considered an important foundation of overall health.
As we transition into a new season, let’s give our bodies the care and nourishment they need. ❤️
