❤️☀️ Nurture Your Heart & Small Intestine This Summer

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, summer is the season of Fire — and the Heart (Yin) and Small Intestine (Yang) take center stage. These organs don’t just affect circulation and digestion — they influence joy, clarity, emotional balance, and decision-making.

When summer heat tips the Fire element out of balance, you might notice:
💤 Trouble sleeping
💭 Anxiety or overwhelm
🤢 Digestive upset
🔥 Mouth sores or constant thirst

TCM tips to stay cool & balanced:
🥒 Eat fresh, cooling foods like cucumber, watermelon, mint, and leafy greens
💧 Stay hydrated to protect your Heart
🧘‍♀️ Practice mindful rest to calm the Shen (spirit)
🌿 Schedule seasonal acupuncture to harmonize the Fire element

✨ Keep your Fire bright but balanced—so you can fully enjoy the joy and vibrance summer brings.

🌿 Cool Off This Summer — The TCM Way! ☀️

Feeling overheated, restless, or drained in the summer heat? Traditional Chinese Medicine sees summer as the Fire season — linked to the Heart and Small Intestine. When the heat rises, so can irritability, fatigue, and sleep trouble.

Balance your body with nature’s cooling gifts:
🥒 Cucumber – Hydrating & soothing
🍉 Watermelon – A summer heat classic
🌱 Mint – Clears heat from the head
🌿 Dandelion greens – Detox & skin support

Pair these foods with mindful rest, loose cotton clothing, gentle movement, and of course an acupuncture session to keep your inner Fire in check.

✨ Stay balanced, stay refreshed, and let TCM guide you through the season.
