As the leaves change and the air gets crisp, are you feeling that seasonal sniffle coming on? As the weather turns cooler in autumn, it is indeed a high season for catching colds. Combining the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for "preventive treatment," using dietary adjustments and acupuncture (including self-massage) to prevent colds is a very effective and natural method.
Here are 2 easy ways to boost your immunity this fall:
🥣 1. Eat for Your Lungs & Immunity:
Sip on warm Pear & Lily Bulb Soup or Silver Fungus Broth to fight dryness, with lotus root or water chestnut even better for dry throat, dry cough or dry skin.
Cook with garlic, ginger, and scallions to gently ward off chills.
Strengthen your core with nourishing pumpkin,山药 (shan yao), and millet porridge.
✋ 2. Tap into Your Body's Natural Defenses:
Try a quick self-acupressure routine daily:
足三里 (Zusanli): Your "Longevity Point" below the knee. Strengthens your whole system.
合谷 (Hegu): The fleshy spot between your thumb and index finger. Fights off germs.
风池 (Fengchi): At the base of your skull. Releases wind and cold.
A little prevention goes a long way! Stay healthy and enjoy the cozy season. ❤️
