Late Summer Care 🌅 In Traditional Chinese Medicine it is said we have 5 seasons... the last week of August up until the Fall Equinox is considered Late Summer the season representing the Earth element, and Stomach/Spleen health, which looks like slowing down the grind, grounding yourself with warmer nurturing, digestion-aiding foods. Most of us think of this as that back to school energy, we’re ready to slow down all the social summer activity and come back to more quiet and more routine. It’s also said that this time sets us up for our immunity for the cooler months. An easy way to incorporate it is to eat seasonally - yellow/orange veggies start to come to the farmers markets now (think squash, gourds, carrots). And maybe have at least a couple days a week that are spent truly resting your body from all the go go go. The foundation of beautiful skin, is a healthy and nourished system 💛
