As autumn arrives, it’s important to support your immune system and lungs. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, strong Lung Qi is key to staying healthy during this time.
Here are some ingredients to give it a boost:
- Pears, honey: Hydrate the lungs.
- Ginger, garlic: Warm the body and prevent colds.
- Pumpkin, carrots: Boost immunity.
- Nuts: Moisturize and nourish the lungs.
Rest Well.
Sleep early and rise with the sun to adapt to autumn’s rhythm.
Practice Yoga and Pranayama.
Certain yoga poses, particularly chest-opening ones, improve lung capacity, relieve respiratory discomfort, and stimulate Lung Qi.
Poses like Cat-Cow, Bridge, Fish, and Cobra open the chest and improve lung capacity.
Pranayama (breathwork) like Alternate Nostril Breathing enhances lung strength and calms the mind.
Take care !
