Rather than maintaining the same pace throughout the year, we can adjust our habits to better support what our bodies need during each season. Fall is associated with the Metal element and the Lungs and Large Intestine. It is the season that has to do with breathing, immunity, boundaries, letting go, and the emotion of grief. It is also a time when seasonal allergies, respiratory symptoms, dry skin, fatigue, and changes in mood can become more noticeable.

As autumn arrives, it offers us an opportunity to slow down, reconnect with ourselves, and prepare for the months ahead. By making small seasonal adjustment like getting enough rest, eating nourishing foods, spending time outdoors, and supporting your body with acupuncture, you can help strengthen your overall health and resilience.
