As we move from the very Yang season of summer, the sun is setting much earlier than even just a month ago. It is time to start slowing down our pace a bit. Maybe going to bed a little earlier or rising a bit later.

We burn through a lot of energy during the Fire Element of Summer, and we don't want to burn all the way out before the restorative/ Yin time of Winter, the Water Element. If a person is too depleted by the time the winter months are here, they will experience symptoms of sadness, depression, lethargy, have an increased risk of catching the flu and colds, or experience respiratory problems such as bronchitis or pneumonia.

It is very important to get your seasonal Earth Acupuncture treatment as soon as possible. Autumn, the Metal Element is just around the corner, and it is vital to maintain good energy during this time.

In order to maintain proper balance at this time of year, it is wise to follow the seasons and what they have to offer us.

There is an abundance of fruit and vegetables available in the Farmers Markets around town. Take advantage of these and if you are of an omnivore persuasion, you may begin adding a bit of meat such as pork or chicken to your diet.
