Transitioning between the warm seasons to the cool seasons takes energy and balance. The energy of the season matches that of the Lung and Large Intestine. This organ pair is in charge of helping your body harmonize with Nature’s changes and let go of anything you no longer need.

Fall is Nature’s way of creating balance in life. By letting go of the old, we make room for the new that will come again in Spring, after slowing down, turning inward, and recharging our energy during the cold winter months. Give your body added support by intentionally connecting to the consciousness of Fall.

Healing Foods for Fall

When the Lung and Large Intestine cooperate and communicate, they allow the body to release and receive. The quality of your Lung Qi can be seen in the radiance of your skin. Dry, cracked skin, wrinkles, and constipation are signs that the Lung and Large Intestine are not in balance.
