đ Setting A Foundation To Move Through The Season With Vitality đ
Fall isnât just about changing leaves â itâs the season to build your platform of strength. In Chinese medicine, this is the time to fortify your body so winter doesnât hit harder with fatigue, aches, flare-ups, or chronic conditions that drag you down.
Nature shows us how to let go, as trees release their leaves and prepare for rest. Our bodies, too, sense this shift. The air grows cooler and drier, and with it, our lungs, immune system, skin, and emotions can feel more vulnerable. This is the time to gather strength and build a foundation. Just as farmers harvest to store for winter, we can nourish and fortify ourselves now to resist the fatigue, sickness, and chronic aches that often surface in the colder months.
⨠Practical ways to support yourself in fall:
⢠Nutrition: Warming, moistening foods like soups, root vegetables, pears, and hearty grains.
⢠Herbs & Tea: Gentle lung-supporting herbs such as astragalus, chrysanthemum, or licorice root.
⢠Breath & Energy Work: Qi Gong, breathwork, or mindful walks among the changing leaves.
⢠Acupuncture & Healing: Align your body with the rhythm of fall, strengthen immunity, calm the nervous system, and ease chronic ailments before winterâs demands set in.
This season is your chance to create a platform of resilience. By caring for yourself now, you step into winter with more strength, balance, and ease.đ
Iâm here for you if you want help balancing, building your reserves and working to heal anything blocking you from moving through the seasons with vitality.
