TCM Seasons: Late Summer

Seasonal Moodboard

As the radiant glow of late summer envelops the world, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) beckons us to synchronize with the captivating spirit of this season and foster our overall health and vitality.

In TCM, late summer is associated with the color yellow, the element of Earth, and the organ of the spleen. This time calls us to embrace the grounding energy of the Earth element, which symbolizes stability, nourishment, and balance.

🟡 Yellow, the color of late summer, represents the richness and ripeness of the harvest season, embodying abundance and sustenance.

🍋 The spleen, the organ associated with late summer, plays a vital role in digestion, nutrient absorption, and transforming food into energy. Nurturing the spleen supports overall vitality and well-being.

🌎 Earth, the element representing late summer, provides stability and grounding. It symbolizes the center, both physically and energetically, offering nourishment and balance to body and mind.

By understanding these associations, we can tap into the abundant energy of late summer and incorporate TCM practices and lifestyle choices that harmonize with this season. Let us savor the harvest, nourish our bodies with wholesome foods, and cultivate a sense of grounded balance as we embrace the abundant blessings of late summer.
