🍁 Happy Thanksgiving from Lotus Acupuncture and Wellness! 🍁
This season, let’s express gratitude for our bodies, minds, and the natural world that nourishes us. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), autumn/winter is a time to support our lungs and large intestine, focusing on breath and letting go of what no longer serves us. 🌬️
Holiday meals can sometimes lead to food stagnation—a feeling of fullness, bloating, or heaviness. Here are some TCM tips to support smooth digestion:
✨ Chew thoroughly: Savor each bite to help ease your digestive load.
✨ Stay warm: Opt for warm foods and teas like ginger to support your stomach’s “digestive fire.”
✨ Move after meals: A gentle walk can stimulate digestion and prevent stagnation. ✨ Avoid overeating: Enjoy your favorites but listen to your body’s signals.
✨ Try herbs: Consider gentle digestive herbs like peppermint or citrus peel after a heavy meal.
As we gather with loved ones, let’s remember balance and harmony, appreciating each moment with warmth and presence. Wishing you a peaceful, healthy, and joyful holiday!
Thank you for being part of our wellness journey! 🌿
