Anyone else feeling the effects of the humidity at the moment?
Depending on your constitution you may feel energised or gross or somewhere in between.
I’m seeing many people struggling with fatigue, digestive issues, low immunity and persistent phlegm 🤢
If this sounds like you...Some useful strategies include making dietary and lifestyle adjustments to address the damp/ congestion that humidity can bring about. See below for some Chinese Medicine tips:
🍲Eat cooked, warm foods that are easy to digest. Light grains, root vegetables, quinoa, buckwheat, oats, and basmati rice.
Add pungent vegetables to help with phlegm. These include: fennel, radish, rocket, watercress, spring onion and daikon.
🥣 Soups, slow cooked foods, rice congee and oat porridge are easier on sensitive tummies.
🌿Add some fresh herbs to meals such as coriander, dill and rosemary
🍠Roast some veggies with fresh rosemary.. yum!
🫖Try green tea, peppermint tea or if you are feeling chilly - fresh ginger tea
🚶🏻♀️Movement can help shift stagnant energy and fluids. Brisk walks in nature, dancing, something joyful where possible
🌸 Add some aromatic spice such as fennel seed or cardamom to aid digestion
❌Skip the cold smoothies and limit cold, raw foods
❌Limit fatty meats, fried foods,smoked meats and sugar.
💖Acupuncture and Chinese Herbs are great at addressing the imbalances that occur through these humid times. So reach out if you need support
