Here's a preview of a typical weekly issue — short, practical, and easy to apply the same day.
Hi friend,
As we transition from Chu Shu (End of Heat) toward Bai Lu (White Dew), the body shifts from Damp-Heat patterns to Autumn Dryness. This is the time to begin moistening the Lungs and gently clearing residual summer heat.
Located on the back, 1.5 cun lateral to the lower border of the T3 spinous process. Feishu is the Lung Back-Shu point — excellent for strengthening Lung Qi, easing dry cough, and preparing the respiratory system for autumn. Press gently for 1–2 minutes, both sides, morning and evening.
Steep 1 dried loquat leaf (cleaned) with half a peeled, cored Asian pear and a pinch of rock sugar in 2 cups of water for 15 minutes. Moistens the Lung, transforms phlegm, and cools residual heat.
Add moistening foods: lily bulb, tremella mushroom, white fungus soup, and honey water (room temperature). Reduce spicy and deep-fried foods that injure Lung Yin.
Until next Friday — be well,
The TCM Home Team
Browse a few of our past seasonal issues. Each one is built around the current solar term and a practical weekly theme.
How to ease the body out of summer heat, why early morning walks matter now, and a white-food (pear, lily, lotus root) Lung-nourishing recipe to start the season.
Location, function, and safe use of LI4 for headaches, facial tension, and sinus relief — plus the one population that must avoid it.
A comparison of mung bean water, lotus leaf tea, and American ginseng (Xi Yang Shen) infusion — which suits Damp-Heat vs. Qi-deficient summer fatigue.
A simple four-grain congee (rice, millet, coix, yam) that drains dampness without weakening Spleen Qi, with add-ins for each body type.
Why Heart Fire rising and Kidney Yin deficiency cause that 1–3 AM wake-up, and a three-part evening routine (foot soak, tea, point) to anchor the spirit.
