Things You Should Ghost This Fall-Winter — from your acupuncturist 👻🫖
As the seasons shift, so should your habits. In Chinese medicine, fall and winter are yin seasons — times for warmth, rest, and nourishment.
Here’s what to ghost if you want to keep your qi cozy and your immunity strong:
1️⃣ Going out in crop tops — Protect your middle! The abdomen houses your digestive fire (“Spleen Yang”), and cold exposure here can weaken your energy and immunity.
2️⃣ Skipping the scarf — In TCM, wind and cold easily invade through the neck and upper back (“Wind Gate”). A scarf isn’t just cute — it’s protective armor against seasonal bugs. 🧣
3️⃣ Heading out with wet hair — Damp + cold = recipe for stiffness, headaches, or even catching a chill. Let your hair dry before stepping into the wind. 🌬️
4️⃣ Sipping ice-cold drinks — Cold contracts and slows digestion. Warm teas, broths, or room-temp water keep your Spleen and Stomach happy. ☕️
5️⃣ Ignoring self-care — The darker months invite introspection and rest. Listen to your body’s cues, sleep more, and nourish your spirit. Your spring self will thank you. 🌙
✨ Protect your yang, honor your yin, and flow with the seasons.
