Embracing the Summer Solstice and the most Yang time of the year

The summer solstice is here, marking the longest day of the year and the height of Yang energy. Yang is light, warm, and active. In Chinese medicine, it’s natural for our bodies to align with the energy of this season: we rise early, our days are full, and we feel a pull to be more social and engaged. It’s a beautiful season for growth, joy, and having fun.

That said, with all this Fire and activity, we need to be careful not to tip over to excess. Too much heat (external or internal) can manifest as irritability, insomnia, restlessness, inflammation, or even burnout. To stay balanced, nourish your Yin: make space for rest, stay hydrated, eat cooling and seasonal foods (like cucumbers, watermelon, mint), and avoid overexertion, especially during the hottest parts of the day. If you’re feeling unbalanced, overwhelmed, or ungrounded, come in for a reset!

Wishing you a fun and balanced summer!

In Chinese herbal medicine, walnuts (he tao ren) are more than just a tasty snack—they're a superfood with centuries of healing tradition. Here’s why they deserve a place in your daily diet:

💡 Boosts Brain Power
Ever noticed how a walnut looks like a brain? Chinese medicine links walnuts to enhanced cognitive function and mental clarity, helping nourish the mind.

Why Wearing a Scarf is Key to Staying Healthy in Cold Weather

In Chinese Medicine, protecting your neck from Wind is essential to prevent illness. The neck is considered a vulnerable area where external pathogens (in Chinse Medicine, we call it "Wind") can invade the body, causing colds, flu, and stiffness. By keeping your neck warm, especially during the fall and winter, you help preserve your body’s Wei Qi (defensive energy) and boost your immune system.

So, don't forget to wrap up with a scarf before stepping out this season—it’s your simple, stylish shield to protect yourself from Wind!

Turkey's health benefits

In Chinese Medicine, turkey is a nourishing, warming food that strengthens Qi (vital energy) and supports digestion, making it an excellent choice for the cooler seasons. Rich in protein, turkey helps build blood, supports immunity, and replenishes energy reserves, especially after illness or fatigue.

My favorite way to eat turkey is to make a stock from the carcass and use that to make a delicious and nourishing congee. Slow-cooked turkey bone broth is deeply nourishing and helps keep the digestive system warm and strong during the cold months.

Feeling sad or stuck? Autumn might be amplifying these emotions.

In Chinese medicine, autumn aligns with the Metal element, which governs the Lungs and Large Intestine. The Lungs are tied to the emotions of grief and sorrow, while the Large Intestine represents letting go. Autumn's energy can stir unprocessed emotions, especially grief. This season also invites release—just as trees shed their leaves—but resisting this natural process can heighten sadness, grief, or a sense of being stuck.

These emotions are natural, but they don’t have to overwhelm you. Gentle self-care, connecting with loved ones, and embracing autumn’s reflective energy can help bring balance.

Here are some acupressure points you can do on yourself to support emotional harmony. Use your fingers or thumbs to press and hold the point firmly, but not too hard or painfully for about 3 minutes. You can also use gentle circular or kneading motions to massage the points or tap them lightly. The pressure should be consistent and gradual, and you should breathe deeply and evenly throughout the process.

Decluttering and Letting Go

Autumn is the perfect time to declutter our homes and minds. In Chinese Medicine, fall is associated with the Metal element and its corresponding organs of Lung and Large Intestine. Metal governs organization, clarity, and letting go of what no longer serves us.

Clutter creates more dust, dander, and allergens that directly impact Lung function - but on an emotional level, clutter impacts one’s ability to let go.

By decluttering, we create space for fresh energy to flow, support emotional balance, and enhance our overall well-being.

✨ Health Benefits of Decluttering:
*Promotes healthy lung function: Clutter creates dust, dander, and allergens that directly impact Lung function. Clean air allows the lungs to perform optimally.
*Reduces stress: A clean, organized space helps calm the mind and reduces anxiety.
*Boosts focus & clarity: Clearing physical clutter sharpens mental focus and enhances productivity.
*Promotes emotional release: Letting go of old items helps us release attachments, making room for new growth.

So, let's get rid of some crap! I've been working on it for the last few weeks and it feels great!

The Healing Power of Ginger

As the weather cools, ginger becomes a powerful ally for maintaining warmth, vitality, and immunity.

Known in Chinese Medicine for its warming and invigorating properties, ginger helps to dispel cold, support digestion, and boost circulation. It's a perfect remedy for colds, flu, or general sluggishness during the colder months.

How to Incorporate Ginger:
*Ginger Tea: Sip on fresh ginger tea with honey and lemon to soothe a sore throat and boost immunity.
*In Cooking: Add fresh ginger to soups, stir-fries, or broths for a warming kick.
*Ginger Foot Soak: Boost circulation and relieve cold feet with a relaxing ginger foot bath.

Stay warm and healthy this season with ginger's natural healing properties!

Feeling itchy? In Traditional Chinese Medicine, itchiness can signify imbalanced or blocked energy, also known as "Qi".

According to TCM theory, itchiness can be caused by a variety of internal or external factors, such as dryness, heat, dampness, wind, or toxins. These influences can affect your skin, meridians, and organs, and lead to symptoms such as rashes, hives, eczema, or psoriasis.

To help relieve itchiness, here are a few acupressure points. Use your fingers or thumbs to press and hold the point firmly, but not too hard or painfully for about 3 minutes. You can also use gentle circular or kneading motions to massage the points or tap or flick it lightly. The pressure should be consistent and gradual, and you should breathe deeply and evenly throughout the process.

If you're experiencing persistent or severe itchiness, it's always a good idea to consult with a qualified TCM practitioner or a dermatologist to ensure that you're getting the right diagnosis and treatment for your specific condition.
