Now we are in the thick of autumn, the energy around us shifts — and in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), this is a crucial time to support the Lung and Spleen systems, which are particularly vulnerable during this season. Here’s why these small lifestyle adjustments matter:
🍲 Warming Meals
Cold or raw foods can weaken digestion — especially the Spleen, which prefers warmth. By switching to soups, stews and cooked veg, you’re supporting your digestive fire and helping your body absorb nutrients more effectively.
😴 Sleep Routine
As daylight hours decrease, our bodies naturally crave more rest. In TCM, aligning with the rhythms of nature helps conserve energy and strengthen immunity (known as Wei Qi). A regular sleep pattern allows your body to repair and reset, especially during this season of letting go and slowing down.
🧣 Wrap Up!
Wind is considered a carrier of illness in Chinese medicine — particularly Wind-Cold, which often enters through the neck and upper back. Wearing a scarf or layering up when the temperature drops is more than just cosy — it’s a way of protecting your body’s defensive energy and keeping seasonal bugs at bay.
This is a time for gentle transition, nourishment, and care.
