TCM Tuesday: The Summer Fire Element
Dropping in with a "TCM Tuesday" all about the summer season! I'd love to hear your thoughts or if anything resonated with you xo
Summer represents growth, vibrancy, movement, energy and creativity 🌞🔥
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Summer is the time of the Fire Element, with meridians most active in the Heart and Small Intestine channel.
When the Fire element is balanced, we may feel the sudden burst of energy and joy within us. Wanting to celebrate, move around and be outside. The mind is calm and there is restful & restorative sleep. The heart is healthy and vital.
If there's an imbalance, there may be difficulty with sleep, high blood pressure, or back, shoulder & hand pain. The extra energy and warmer temps may feel too overwhelming with feelings of anxiety, stress or worry starting to surface.
TCM Tips for the summer season:
🍉 Include cooling foods such as watermelon, cucumber, berries and leafy greens. Up your water intake and limit alcohol and spicy foods.
✨ Joy and laughter are related to the Fire element. It's an invitation to fully embody the joy we are all so deserving of. Explore what lights you up and find ways to bring more of that into your day.
🏃🏼♀️ Incorporate more active workouts with a focus on cardiac health to give your heart some TLC. (But as always, move your body in a way that feels right for you!)
💤 Prioritize sleep! Make sure your bedroom is dark, limit screen time prior to bed, take magnesium or sip on some of our DAO Labs Physical Sleep formula.
Living in alignment with our planet helps bring us closer to optimal health. Tune your attention to the changes in nature around you in order to encourage a transition of ease into Summer ❤️
