Autumn’s sky is bright with the fire of leaves just before they dry up and fall to the ground. Our vital qi, brightened by summer’s skies, now begins its movement inward as we ready ourselves for winter. The yang qi has pivoted with the waning light and we now begin to nourish our yin and move inwards.
How can we adjust our lives to fend off the colds and viruses of this season? How can we adjust our daily food and activities to thrive and be in harmony with the seasonal shift? We move indoors, our energy changes. This pivotal season can be met with the wisdom of Chinese medicinal principles to nourish ourselves and to avail ourselves to what this autumnal season brings us.

Recommended foods and ways of cooking for the autumnal season.
