CHINESE MEDICINE FOR THE SEASON Fall is HERE you guys...and its full ON. The weather is getting colder and trees are changing color and shedding their leaves for winter. We can take some cues from this time of year. What do we absolutely need going into the winter and what can we leave behind? Lets build our thick skin in preparation for those cold winter months, lets eat lots of apples and root veggies. Lets ditch the salads and bring on the soups and meat. Its all about nourishing yourself, starting to turn a little bit more inward, a little more introspective as the busy, social, extroverted summer is behind us. This time of year is associated with The Lung Channel, in Chinese Medicine, with the Metal element, and the emotion of GRIEF. SO let us naturally grieve, let go of what no longer serves us and enter into winter as bare as the trees. As we know that come Spring there will always be a rebirth, as those buds will start popping up from the ground and from the trees. Be kind to your lungs, wear scarves to protect your vulnerable neck from attack from the elements (wind and cold), nourish yourself with cooked whole foods. Acupuncture can assist you in this shedding of old, storing your nuts for winter(squirrel analogy), balancing, and helping to make you whole again. It is great for building the immune system to fight against colds/flu and allergies. It can be so helpful for anxiety and depression, both are so common this time of year and also very much NORMAL. Acu can also help with insomnia, fatigue, muscle pain and strain from over-working, over-playing, digestive issues, migraines and so much more. Come on in and visit me if you could use a tune up and have a happy healthy autumn! newfanewellness/
