Embracing the Harvest Season with Chinese Medicine: Earth to Metal
At Liu’s Oriental Medical Center, we honor the rhythm of the seasons. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, late summer—the Earth season—represents nourishment, balance, and preparation. Recently, our team harvested and prepared Ai Ye (Mugwort) from our practitioner garden for use in moxibustion, a therapy that warms and strengthens the body. As we transition into autumn, the Metal season, we are reminded to protect our lungs, stay hydrated, and embrace the wisdom of letting go.
