Why Seasonal Treatments?

As the seasons change and we move into Winter, our bodies naturally attune to the Water element, placing emphasis on the Kidneys and Bladder. In Autumn, we witnessed Ki delving further into our being. This natural transition is a universal occurrence, affecting not only humans but all forms of life as we align ourselves with the rhythms of the natural world.

Summer sees trees thriving with lush leaves and energy. Yet, with the descent of temperatures and the inward flow of Ki, trees mirror this transition by shedding their leaves due to a waning energy reserve.

In the same way, just like the changing seasons affecting nature around us, our Ki energy instinctively shifts further inward during the autumn months, delving down to the profound core of our bodies where the Kidneys reside. It is during this period of external cold that we rely heavily on harnessing the warmth of our Kidney Yang energy to ensure that our inner essence remains nurturing and protected.

Treatments ought to be tailored to correspond with the changes our bodies experience, guaranteeing that a solution appropriate for the summer might not be beneficial during the winter season.

The examination of radial pulses reveals an interesting finding: the blood flow appears to be situated deeper within the vessels, indicating that the vessels are positioned at a lower depth beneath the skin surface. This observation has definite implications for the application of needles and moxibustion.
