At the Veterans Healing Farm, care looks like connection, fresh air, and showing up for one another.

Last week, our interns spent time on the farm giving treatments and being present with the community.

Never heard of the Veterans Healing Farm? It’s your lucky day. Their work is something special.

The Veterans Healing Farm in Mills River, North Carolina enhances the well-being of Veterans and their families here in WNC. They cultivate healing through nature, connection, and purpose, and maintain a peaceful environment where Veterans can find community. Programs include organic farming, beekeeping, medicinal herb gardens, and therapeutic workshops — and everything grown on the farm is given back to Veterans and local organizations in need.

If there’s a Veteran in your life, let them know this resource exists.

100 degree soup? 🧐🤩

The Spleen qi is responsible for transforming and transporting food essences and absorbing nutrients. When we
think about nutrition we have to consider the whole equation – the nutritional value of the food and how well we
absorb the nutrients.

If the Spleen qi is strong, we have better digestion and absorption. Cold, raw foods make the
digestion work harder, while soft, warm, cooked foods are already partially broken down and easier on the Spleen
qi.

But healthy eating is not just about what we eat – it’s also how we eat.

These simple tips can help protect your Spleen qi:

Eat at regular times.
Eating on a schedule synchronizes your body’s internal clock, which regulates metabolism and
appetite. This helps maintain consistent blood sugar levels, support optimal digestion, and keep your energy level
up throughout the day.

Sit down.
Sitting and taking the time to eat slowly and digest helps the Spleen qi to properly break down food.
When we eat on the run or rush from the table after eating, it sends qi to other parts of the body when we need
the qi in our stomachs for digesting. Eating in a relaxed state helps your intestines process nutrients more
effectively.

Relax.
Eating while under stress can harm digestion, even if you are eating a perfect diet. Stress negatively impacts
on the Liver qi and when this excess energy overacts onto the Spleen, the digestion will suffer. Avoid discussing
upsetting topics while at the table and put away your phone.

Chew well.
Digestion begins with chewing. Chinese medicine says the digestive qi works to break down food into a
“100 degree soup”. If you chew well, food gets broken down before it reaches the stomach and puts less strain on
the digestive qi.

Avoid excess fluids while eating.
Don’t put out the digestive fire by drinking iced drinks and too much liquid. It is best to drink a little at the beginning and at the end of the meal. Not between each bite.

Cinnamon (Rou Gui), clove (Ding Xiang), nutmeg (Rou Dou Kou), and ginger (Sheng Jiang) are warming herbs in Traditional Chinese Medicine.

They support digestion, move qi, and strengthen the middle as the seasons turn cooler.

A familiar flavor — with centuries of use behind it.

For all the pumpkin spice skeptics out there: which one of these herbs do you enjoy the most?
