The Pericardium is one of the four organs and channels associated with the Fire element of Summer. Its points are commonly used to calm anxiety, ease digestive upset (including nausea during pregnancy), and alleviate carpal tunnel pain.

As the sun shines brighter and the days grow longer, it's the perfect time to embrace the wisdom of Chinese medicine to stay balanced, energized, and healthy all summer long.

The season of summer celebrates heat, longer days and lots of outdoor activities. Summer is considered a very yang time of year, and with this in mind it is important to nourish yin within the body.

Chinese Medicine proposes that we will feel our best if we live according to the seasons. In the Summer, it is our fire that wants to come out and play!

Summer is here and in Chinese Medicine we rejoice in welcoming the most yang time of year! Yang indicates a full expansion of energy.
