Friendly Reminder: Summer is the time to enjoy and makes your Heart happy....

❤️ • Summer is the energy of Fire, which represents joy, laughter, passion, love, and growth, according to Traditional Chinese Medicine. In ‘Huangdi Neijing’ aka ‘The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Medicine’ (it’s an ancient Chinese medical text, the fundamental doctrinal source for Chinese medicine), it is said that the body’s five Zang (yin) internal organs have close relationship with the five elements: Liver belongs to Wood, Heart — to Fire, Spleen/Stomach — to Earth, Lungs — to Metal, and Kidneys — to water.
During summer season, Heart and Spleen/Stomach (Spleen and Stomach resonate with late summer’s energetic vibration) are the most important organs to be looked after. We must pay attention to external heat, summer dampness and humidity as well as an excessive Yang (male/hot) energy.
Here are a few of TCM tips for your summer health:
💛 Get up early in the morning
💙 Drink plenty of fluids (if you forget, set an alarm reminder on your phone)
💚 Eat more yin, ‘cooling’ foods, which are light, less greasy, e. g., green salads, vegetables such as celery, lettuce, cucumber, watermelon, watercress to generate healthy body fluids
❤️ Eat in moderation, avoid overeating, avoid heavy foods, overly spiced foods, and ice cold foods like ice-cream since they cause the digestive system to slow down
🤎 Less coffee, more green and mint tea
🖤 Avoid intense training/exercises; and instead focus on practicing Yoga, ChiGong, Tai Chi, slow running, and swimming which would be ideal
🤍 Don’t worry, be happy! Worry, anxiety and overthinking are the emotions associated with the Stomach and Spleen, and these emotions in excess have a negative impact on your digestive health.
🌞 Hence, summer is the time to enjoy, make your heart happy, so make sure to experience things and events that bring joy and smile on your face. 🙂

Face is a mirror to a person's internal nature. The harmony within mind-body-spirit is the key to health and wellness. Simply by looking at someone’s face, we can determine individual constitution, temperament and other characteristics that are important.

Face reading or Mien Shiang is the 3,000 years old Taoist practice to determine five element personality type (Wu Xing) of a person (Wikipedia). In the modern day, the new video interview intelligence platform app called HireVue can scan potential candidates’ face and tell companies whether candidates are worth hiring. Or using botulinum toxing (BOTOX) injection at glabellar (the space between eyebrows) as a treatment for depression in women.

Jean Haner, the writer of “The wisdom of your face: Change your life with Chinese Face Reading” wrote “Face reading was originally developed in association with the holistic belief that each part of the body is a representation of the entire body…..face was considered a complete and perfect display of what was going on throughout the physical self…”

In ancient China, doctors were not allowed to touch women to diagnose the disease, reading the face by looking at the general structure of the face, size and shape of person’s features, the lines, scars, moles, pimples and freckles etc., become an important technique to establish the treatment strategy.

The three months of winter are called closing and storing. Water freezes, Earth cracks. No more influence from the yang.

One goes to bed early; one gets up late. Everything must be done according to the light of the sun, exerting the will as if buried, as if hidden, and taking care only of oneself, as if fixed on oneself, in possession of oneself.

One must avoid the cold and seek the heat; not let anything escape through the layers of the skin, for fear of losing all the qi.

This corresponds with the winter qi. It is the way that maintains the storing of life. To go countercurrent would injure the kidneys, causing, in spring, impotence and deficiency,
through insufficient supply for the production of life.
