Embrace the Autumn season with nourished ‘Yin’ for a healthier and younger looking new cycle!
The Chinese sages of ancient times believed that the physical world was a process of change and all that exists is the result of transformation based on five basic elements (and these five elements were linked with the seasons) - metal (Autumn), water (Winter), wood (Spring), fire (Summer) and Earth (late Summer). And did you know that according to Traditional Chinese Medicine, they saw these same elements in the human body. For example, autumn is the season of ‘metal’ where the ‘Yin’ energy overtakes the ‘Yang’ energy which could lead to deficiency in the lung system resulting in extreme dry skin and frizzy hair.

This season can also amplify mental health challenges of anxiety, depression, insomnia, brain fog and overconsumption.
To some degree, whether acute or chronic, stress is a constant in life Yet it is your response to these stressors that lends to our overall quality of life.

Emotional resilience allows you to adapt and respond to stress in a healthier way. It encourages an expanded emotional bandwidth to allow a more balanced nervous system response.
