Did you know Chinese medicine actually has five seasons instead of our typical four?
Summer is divided into 2 parts…summer and late summer. Late summer or “Indian summer” is that special time at the end of summer and before autumn when there often is a hot spell.
The Spleen and Stomach rule the summer season. What this means is these two organs are now more active and more vulnerable to problems at this time of year. The Stomach and Spleen are related to the “Earth element.” Our earth provides support and nourishment for all life. Your Spleen and Stomach provide nourishment for your body. Your food is ingested, digested, transformed, transported and assimilated into your physical body creating muscle, bone, blood and energy. You are what you eat.
Can you believe it’s August already? Hope you’re having a wonderful summer.
