🍁 Its change of season from summer to fall, from vacation time to work & school.
These changes contribute to our health. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, this time is related to the Earth element, digestion, the stomach and spleen.

🍁 It is a time to nourish your body, take time to rest as we need to allow time to adapt, if not we can get stressed and sick.

🍁 Therefore, eat things that are easy to digest, make sleep a priority and stay hydrated, take time to connect with your breath, and get some movement in your day!

The following tips can help ensure adequate hydration:
🫗 Water. Drink about 1/2 your body weight in ounces a day.
🫗 Herbal non-caffeinated teas are a great alternative. There are a number of herbal teas that also support immune & respiratory health (speak to your Naturopathic Doctor).

🌿 Obstacles are specific for each individual.

🌿 For example, eating dairy might result in symptoms and be an obstacle to healing in one person, yet someone else might consume dairy their whole life and it actually be beneficial for them.

🌿 “Healing requires specific building blocks like nutrients, water, movement and sleep. It also requires a mindset of health and a willingness to resolve emotional issues. Often the healing ability of the body is impacted because of the lack of the basic building blocks, excess consumption of certain foods or stimulates or because a person is unable to envision being healthy."

Liver spots, also known as age spots, solar lentigo, or senile freckles are benign macules or patches or areas of discolouration (typically light brown to red or black) typically found on the hands, face, shoulders, arms, forehead, and scalp of those +40 years of age.

❗ Always speak with your Naturopathic Doctor or healthcare provider for assessment and individualized care. This post is for educational uses ONLY.

Tips for prevention:
🙌🏾 Choose personal care products (creams, oils, lotions, etc) that are chemical-free.
🙌🏼 Stay hydrated!
🙌 Spend time outdoors, but reduce risk of burns with protective clothing, especially when the sunlight is most intense
🙌🏿 Encourage sweating, as it assists the skins ability to detoxify. (Speak to a health professional about ways to support this and your individual needs).
🙌🏾 Shower only two to three times a week to maintain the moisture of the skin.
🙌🏼 Weekly clay masks can help the skin detox and help remove impurities from the skin.
🙌 Healthy skin requires adequate protein, collagen and minerals (vegetables).

This chaos may contribute to symptoms and the progression of disease.

🌿 For example, if a person is unhappy with their marriage, their job and their life and they feel depressed, the depression is a true reflection of their life. To provide a treatment recommendation that makes a person content in a situation that is not healthy does not restore balance, it intensifies the imbalance.

🍵 Reflection:
🔹 Where in your life do you experience balance and imbalance?
🔹 How is it impacting you and your health?

🩺 Reach out to your Naturopathic Doctor for individual assessment and support.
