The Metal Element

The Metal Element has its power in the Autumn in the Traditional Five Element Acupuncture tradition. With the focus on your Lungs and Colon.

Lung

Care for your Lungs . To suppuration your Lungs keep warm and wear a scarf, to protect your immune system.

Colon

To care for your Colon it is a time to eat more cooked foods and naturally sweet foods such as root vegetables, soups and stews. Drink warm drinks especially warm water to keep you hydrated in thisdry seaspn. These will nourish your blood and digestive Qi. Avoid too many raw foods this time of year. Do remember to keep moving to motivate your digestion, we do need quiet and rest, just enjoy those Autumn walks through the leaves too!

Embrace Autumn

It is also good to get out in fresh Autumn air all wrapped up and take in the beautiful colours.
Time to relax, give yourself time to be still, with relaxation, meditation and yin yoga practice.
