Understanding Your Body’s Seasons

Nature flows through spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Our bodies reflect these cycles just as vividly.

TCM ties each season to distinct organ functions. By aligning with these changes, we can maintain healthier energy levels throughout the year.

Seasonal Influences on Organs

In TCM, spring highlights the Liver and Gallbladder, fuelling fresh growth and renewal. Summer energises the Heart and Small Intestine, supporting circulation and vitality.

Late summer focuses on the Spleen and Stomach, emphasising nourishment. Autumn calls on the Lungs and Large Intestine for letting go and safeguarding boundaries.

Winter supports the Kidneys and Bladder, rebuilding essential reserves while external conditions are colder. Each shift demands thoughtful adaptations.

Adjusting Daily Routines

Syncing activities, foods, and self-care with the season keeps body and mind at ease. In spring, gentle exercise and lighter meals aid Liver detox after winter.

Summer is ideal for balanced outdoor living, hydrating, and celebrating in moderation. Late summer benefits from well-cooked foods and steady routines that ground the Spleen.

In autumn, mindful breathing and adequate moisture prevent dryness and respiratory strain. Winter calls for rest, warming dishes, and quiet reflection that supports Kidney energy.

Preventive Focus Each Season

Spring can be a time to release built-up tension. Summer often requires pacing activities to avoid burnout.

Late summer care emphasises digestibility and calm mental habits. Autumn highlights immune strength and emotional balance to handle cooler air.

Winter fosters deeper recovery. This is a chance to replenish reserves and prepare for the year ahead.
