Yes it's time for another pivotal transition of energy in the grand scheme of things. Since winter solstice the daylight has gradually lasted longer and longer. With the return of the light, is the return of the ascending yang energy in nature. As we approach the summer solstice, the yang has reached its maximum limits and will gradually start to decline.
In Chinese herbal medicine the summer solstice marks harvest time for a few quintessential herbs such as Fuzi and Banxia. Fuzi is an incredibly warming herb that is planted on winter solstice and is harvested on summer solstice. Containing purely yang energy this herb is incredibly warm and can drive away cold lodged in the body. Ban Xia is also harvested at this time, due to the decline in energy therefore it has a descending action and is effective at directing qi downward. To be noted that both of these herbs are toxic unless prepared properly.
Certain conditions such as asthma that are worse in the fall and winter were traditionally treated at the summer solstice. Since the yang energy is at its peak, a great effect can be made. So whether you're interested in a general tune-up or working on a specific condition call 808-870-2732 to schedule an appointment today.
