The 24 Solar Terms reflect subtle shifts that occur throughout the year. While rooted in agricultural tradition, these distinct periods offer insight into the flow between seasons from a Five Element perspective.

If you're interested in how Chinese Medicine can support you through seasonal changes, book a sesh with me ☻

Yu Jin, Jiang Huang, and E Zhu are different parts of the turmeric plant with distinct actions.

Yu Jin is the tuberous root. It moves Liver qi, invigorates blood, clears heat, and can calm irritability or mood symptoms when stagnation generates heat.

Jiang Huang is the rhizome of Curcuma longa. It is warm and primarily moves qi and blood in the channels, especially for shoulder pain.

E Zhu is stronger. It breaks up blood stasis and accumulations and is used for masses and fibroids with sharp pain.

Fun fact: Fu Ling isn’t just one medicinal. It’s a dense underground mushroom mass that grows around pine roots, and different layers of it are used for different purposes.

The main white portion is Fu Ling, which tonifies the Spleen, drains dampness, and calms the Shen.

The outer peel, called Fu Pi, is the most diuretic part and is often used for edema, like in Wu Pi Tang.

The reddish layer, Chi Fu Ling, is especially useful for dampness with more pronounced swelling.

And Fu Shen is the portion that still contains the pine root core, and it’s primarily used to calm the spirit.
