How are you feeling this summer?

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, summer is the season of the Fire element. It is a time of peak Yang energy, outward activity, and warmth. But just like a landscape in nature, if there is too much Fire and not enough Water (Yin) to anchor it, the ecosystem dries out.

Instead of forcing your body to push through the heat, this is the season to protect your energy, seek the shade, and nourish your Heart.

I wrote a blog diving into the Dao of Summer, including the exact TCM food therapy tips you need to clear heat (hint: eat more bitter and red foods).

See you at the clinic. Kim

While TCM has developed and spread all over Asia, China and in Vietnam, it has deep connections with local indigenous medicine practice. The traditional medicine practice in Vietnam is divided into Thuốc Bắc and Thuốc Nam.

Thuốc Bắc translates to Medicine from the North and relies on the classical Chinese formulas and imported herbs. While Thuốc Nam is Medicine from the South and has roots in indigenous folk medicine. It has its roots directly in the kitchen and the local produce. Historically, remedies were passed down by word of mouth. Healers weren’t people in white coats; they were members of the tribes and communities who knew exactly how to use the leaves, flowers, and roots for health.

That is the essence of Thuốc Nam: using what the local earth provides to heal your family.

One of plants in both Thuốc Bắc and Thuốc Nam is Honeysuckle (known in TCM as Jin Yin Hua or Kim Ngân Hoa in Vietnamese). It’s a perfect herb for hot days.

Swipe through to learn more about Honeysuckle and find a recipe as well.

Spring is here(｡♥‿♥｡) and in TCM spring is connected to the wood element and the Liver organ. Spring is about upward growth, renewal, and movement.

When Liver Qi is flowing smoothly, you feel flexible, energized, and emotionally balanced.

To help you transition smoothly into this new season, here are 5 TCM tips:
1. Wake up a little earlier: Catch the rising morning energy to set an active, vibrant tone for your day.

2. Add sour food to your routine: Sour is the flavor of the Liver. A squeeze of lemon in your vegetables or proteins gently balances the flavors but also helps with extra vitamins and detox.

3. Do regular stretching exercises: Your Liver governs your tendons and ligaments. Gentle stretching prevents physical stiffness and stuck energy.

4. Show your feelings: The Liver is connected to emotions such as anger and frustration. We all know that frustration when held inside for too long can lead to more problems.

5. Be kind: Be gentle to yourself and everyone around you. Take the time to care for yourself so you can be there for your community.
