Greetings! As we transition into the vibrant hues of fall foliage, it's crucial to nurture our respiratory health and harmonize our bodies with the energy of the season. Fall is associated with the Metal element and the Lung system in traditional Chinese medicine. The Metal element encourages us to let go of what no longer serves us, just as trees shed their leaves, making room for new growth, highlighting the need to moisture and nourish our lungs during this time.

Stay hydrated: Hydration is key to maintaining moisture in your respiratory system, especially as the air becomes drier.
Practice deep breathing exercises: Engage in deep breathing exercises to strengthen your lung capacity and promote healthy respiratory function.
