#tbt to finding balance โ๏ธ in a desert ๐๏ธ Late Summer is an extra season described in the five element theory of Chinese Medicine. Not everyone will experience a late summer in their environment characterized by humid, damp heat, but many people may feel this internally...from the joys of summer fun and play, ehemmmmm too many heavy meals, BBQs, and indulging in extra ice cream and sweets. Notice if you are experiencing signs of late summer imbalance: - bloating - feeling uncomfortably hot - nausea - smellier..... sweat, ๐ฉ, urine, breath - discomfort after eating - lower appetite - sensation of heaviness (body and mind) - tired or burned out - super sluggish mornings If you are shaking your head yes, yes, yes, it's time to spend some time balancing your beautiful divine self. Recommendations: -cut back on the heavy greasy meals - eat very bland for 2-3 days -avoid ice cold and sweet foods and beverages until you feel better - move your body to a sweat and finish with a nice long savasanas - add ginger to your meals and teas - eat more greens (the bitter taste will cut through the damp) Gotta run, my kids are screaming ๐ต๐คช From my heart to yours Aloha & Namaste . . . . . #natureheals #chinesemedicinewisdom #latesummerwisdom #acupuncturistlife #acupuncture #findyourbalance #yinyang #ayurveda #ayurvedaokinawa #ayurvedaaroundtheworld #ayurvedaforyogateachers #yogateacherlife #yogateachercontinuingeducation https://www.instagram.com/p/B1ubQ_xni9d/?igshid=z0ma45np497e
