๐ In Chinese medicine, Autumn is linked to the Metal element and the Lungs โ organs that help us process grief and change.
๐กJust as trees let go of their leaves, this season encourages us to release whatโs no longer needed.
โจ That natural pull toward reflection or emotion isnโt a setback โ itโs the bodyโs way of finding balance.
โจ Feeling emotional this time of year isnโt weakness โ itโs a sign that your body is in tune with the season.

๐ In Chinese medicine, Autumn marks the beginning of an inward shift.
โจ After the brightness and movement of summer, the body starts to draw its energy back โ just as trees pull their sap down into the roots.
โจ This is the Metal season, ruled by the Lungs, which help us release and restore balance.
Feeling slower or more reflective isnโt a sign of low motivation โ itโs your body adjusting to the seasonโs rhythm.
๐ก Slowing down is part of staying strong. Itโs how your body restores what the year has used up.
A few ways to support that natural change:
๐ฒ Eat warm, nourishing foods that ground and replenish you.
๐จ Take time for deep, steady breathing or gentle movement.
๐ฏ๏ธ Rest earlier โ energy saved now becomes resilience for winter.

๐ Do I need treatment every Autumn?
Not everyone does โ but many people find a seasonal tune-up with acupuncture or Chinese herbs makes a real difference.
In Chinese medicine, Autumn is a time of transition. The lungs and immunity are more vulnerable as the air grows colder and drier, and our energy begins to draw inward.
Seasonal treatment is designed to:
๐ข Support your lungs and strengthen your immune system
๐ข Restore balance after the intensity of summer
๐ข Build resilience for the colder months ahead
Think of it as routine seasonal care โ a way of giving your body a head start before winter sets in. ๐ฌ๏ธ
โจ Some patients come every season, others only when they feel the shift โ but both find that small steps now make the months ahead much easier.

๐ How can I support myself this season?
In Chinese medicine, Autumn is the season of the lungs ๐ซ โ and with them, the bodyโs ability to defend itself against the outside world.
This makes Autumn a time to take extra care, protecting your energy as the weather changes.
Simple seasonal shifts can have a powerful effect:
๐ฒ Warm, nourishing foods help counter the dryness of the air.
๐งฃ Keeping your neck and chest warm protects your lungs and immunity.
๐ฌ๏ธ Breathwork or gentle movement practices like Tai Chi strengthen both body and mind.
โจ These small acts are more than habits โ theyโre ways of living in rhythm with the season, giving your body a chance to stay strong and resilient.

๐ What emotion is linked to Autumn in Chinese medicine?
In Chinese medicine, every season connects not only to an organ system, but also to an emotion.
For Autumn, that emotion is grief.
Grief here isnโt seen only as sadness or loss. Itโs also the capacity to honour what has been, to recognise its value, and then to release it when the time comes.
Just as the trees shed their leaves ๐, we too are invited to let go โ not in despair, but in order to make space for new growth.
When grief flows naturally, it clears and strengthens us. When it is unexpressed or held too tightly, it can weigh down the lungs and the spirit, leaving us feeling heavy, stuck, or unwell.
โจ Autumn reminds us that endings and beginnings always arrive together. By acknowledging our grief, we also open the door to renewal.

๐ Which organ is linked to Autumn?
In Chinese medicine, each season connects with a part of the body. For Autumn, itโs the lungs.
The lungs are seen as your first line of defence ๐ก๏ธ.
They stand at the border between your inner world and the environment around you, shaping how well you adapt to colder, drier air.
When the lungs are strong, your immunity (Wei Qi) is steady and resilient ๐ช.
But when theyโre under strain, you may notice coughs, colds ๐คง, or a general dip in energy as the season changes.
โจ Autumn teaches us that the rhythm of nature is mirrored inside us. As leaves fall and the air grows crisp ๐, the lungs echo that same pattern โ protective, but also sensitive.

Autumn is the season of transition and harvest.
As nature begins to draw inward โ leaves falling, days shortening, air turning crisp โ Chinese medicine sees this as an important shift for our health too.
Weโre invited to mirror the season: slow down, gather our energy, and prepare for the colder months ahead. Itโs not about pushing through, but about listening to the rhythm around us. ๐
โจ The wisdom of Autumn is simple:
๐ข Protect what youโve grown
๐ข Release what you no longer need
๐ข Carry only what strengthens you into winter
By living in step with the seasons, we build resilience โ body, mind, and spirit.
๐ How do you notice the change of Autumn in your own life?

๐ฟ What can moxibustion help with?
For centuries, this gentle therapy has been used in Chinese medicine to:
โ Relieve pain and tension
โ Restore energy levels
โ Support healthy digestion
โ Balance womenโs health
โ Keep the bodyโs flow in harmony
๐ฅ The treatment works by burning dried mugwort (moxa) close to the skin, creating a steady, penetrating warmth โ gentle on the outside, powerful within.
โจ Many people leave a session feeling lighter, calmer, and recharged โ as if warmth and movement return exactly where the body needs it.
๐ฌ Already tried moxa? Share what it felt like โ or tag a friend whoโs been curious!

๐ฟ What is mugwort?
Mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) is a fragrant herb with a long history in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Itโs used in moxibustion because it burns slowly and evenly, producing a deep, gentle heat that the body responds to.
๐ฅ In treatment, the glowing mugwort is held close to the skin. The steady warmth can:
โ Get qi moving
โ Improve circulation
โ Ease aches and stiffness
โ Support natural balance
