We officially welcome Summer this evening! Summer, according to Eastern medicine, is the season of high energy and warmth. It is the time to enjoy the added hours of sunlight outside, a time to be with friends, and a time to reconnect with yourself as well. Every season is associated with an emotion in Eastern medicine - Summer is connected to joy (or lack of joy, when imbalanced). So, take moments this summer to find joy, whether that is spending time with others or enjoying a walk outside in nature and taking in the sunshine. Fill up your heart ♥️
👩🏽💼 Acupuncture during the summer can help regulate body temperature, reduce inflammation caused by excess heat, and promote overall balance (as in every season). While summer is a time for activity and socializing, it's important to balance this with adequate rest and relaxation to prevent burnout.
🍉 Summer Wellness Tips: �•Incorporate mindfulness practices like meditation and deep breathing to stay grounded and manage stress. �•Eat the foods of the season and foods that help keep the body cool: apples, lemons, kiwis, melons, oranges, pears, pineapples, mangos, cucumbers, spinach, tomatoes, as well as more raw foods, salads, yogurt, watermelon, barley, and black or green tea (the list is long, so we have so many options!). While alcoholic drinks may seem refreshing, alcohol actually heats up the body, so be mindful when drinking especially when you are out in the heat for prolonged amount of time. �•Stay hydrated! Drink plenty of fluids every day to keep your body feeling cool.
