🍂✨ Happy Fall Everyone!!!
Today I hiked the breathtaking trails of the Rocky Mountains, Colorado, surrounded by golden leaves and fresh mountain air. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, autumn is the season of the Metal Element, which governs the Lungs and Large Intestine. This element teaches us about letting go, just like the trees release their leaves. 🍁
👉 When the Metal element is unbalanced, you may notice:
• Sadness, grief, or low mood
• Allergies, cough, shortness of breath
• Constipation or sluggish digestion
• Dry skin or weakened immunity
💡 Tips to balance your body this season:
✔️ Practice deep breathing outdoors and soak in fresh air
✔️ Eat warming, seasonal foods like pumpkin, pears, apples, and root vegetables
✔️ Keep your skin hydrated and your body warm
✔️ Reflect on what no longer serves you and let it go—just like the trees 🍃
Fall reminds us to align with nature: breathe deeply, nourish yourself, and embrace the beauty of change. 🍂🏔️
