Winter is guided by the Water Element in Traditional Chinese Medicine, a season for stillness, nourishment, and deep restoration. As the days turn quieter, we connect with the qualities that define this element:

💧 Yin Organ · Kidneys - the home of vitality and essence
💧 Yang Organ · Bladder - supports fluid balance and metabolism
🦴 Tissue · Bones & Marrow - our structural foundation
👂 Sense Organ · Ears - where we attune to inner and outer wisdom
🧂 Taste · Salty - grounding and nourishing when used with care
🖤 Color · Black - the shade of depth, stillness, and reflection

This is the most Yin time of year. Embrace warmth, rest, and slow rituals that support your kidney energy through the colder months.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, wellness is built through consistency- how the body adapts and responds over time.

In Eastern medicine, health is observed over time. We formulate with an understanding of how systems interact, adapt, and respond - focusing on long-term balance rather than short-term solutions.

The days before Christmas can feel like a swirl of celebrations, travel, late nights, and rich food. It is a beautiful season and it also asks a lot of our systems. In TCM, this is when we pay a little extra attention to our Defensive Qi, the layer of energy that helps us stay balanced as the world around us becomes a little busier and a little colder.

As we move through the final stretch of the year, our team is already thinking about the rituals we want to carry into January. Small things that help us feel centered. Warm soups. Acupuncture. Cupping. Herbs. Breathing. Any practice that brings us back to ourselves.

We would love to hear from you.

Holiday spreads are basically a sport. From cookies to cocktails to rich meals back to back, our systems can use a little extra support. Bao He Wan has been used in TCM to encourage harmony after fuller, heavier eating, and Digestive Harmony offers a modern, easy way to fold that tradition into the holidays.

We love it for travel, family gatherings, and those moments when we say yes to one more bite.

What’s the most “holiday you” food you have had so far

12/17/2025

The holiday season in Minnesota has a rhythm all its own. The early sunsets, the cold air, and the steady stream of celebrations can quietly burn through your Yin, the cooling, restorative reserve that keeps you grounded.

December naturally leans Yang: bright, busy, outward, fast. And when that outweighs the quieter moments, your Yin works overtime to keep things balanced. It’s easy to feel that reserve thinning with more stimulation, more commitments, and more late nights.

Supporting your Yin doesn’t require a full retreat. It’s about small, intentional pauses: a slow walk in the cold air, an early night once a week, warm and simple meals between rich gatherings, fewer stimulants when the season already feels loud, and the rituals that steady you: meditation, breathwork, or a few quiet minutes before the house wakes up.

Minnesota winters invite us inward for a reason. When you honor your Yin in these small ways, you move through the holidays with more steadiness, presence, and warmth, a season that feels good, not just full.

As we shift from the holiday weekend into the rhythm of December, we’re holding onto one of our favorite Laozi reminders:

“Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.”

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, this is the essence of balance, moving with the season instead of pushing against it. Letting the body settle. Letting the mind exhale. Letting the pace soften just enough to hear what you actually need.

So here’s a gentle mid-week invitation:
Take a slower sip. Take a deeper breath. Let this season unfold without rushing your way through it.
