Take a moment to sink into the golden autumn vibes as we usher in Frost's Descent, the 18th traditional Chinese solar term of the year today. Widening day and night temperature differences and frost & freeze figure prominently in this late autumn season. While keeping yourself snug, don’t forget to savor the crystal blue sky and flaming maple leaves!

Health tips from our Traditional Chinese Medicine physician:

l  Drink Oolong Tea. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, oolong tea is considered neutral and can nourish body fluid. The ancient Chinese people would enjoy this tea around the time of Frost’s Descent.

l  Maintain a Positive Mood. Autumn is linked to depression and sadness according to TCM’s Five-Element theory. Please pay attention to your emotional well-being, especially during Frost’s Descent.

l  Go to Bed Early. As temperatures drop and the days grow shorter, it's essential to align our routines with nature. Sleeping early helps protect our Yang energy, maintaining balance in the body during this transitional season.
