Summer is here
Summer is here.
It’s the time of year for going to the beach, soaking up the sun, pulling out the bbq, spending time with your friends and enjoying the festive season.
Summer is also the time for stinking hot weather, humidity, sleepless nights, over-indulgence and sunburn all of which cause problems for our bodies.
In Chinese Medicine, the season of summer is associated with Heat and Dampness. And our skin is very susceptible to this. Rashes and fungal infections can be quite frustrating. They can irritate as well as appear unsightly and embarrassing. Sunburn can be very painful as well as dangerous.
But there are things that can help. It is the belief in Chinese Medicine that herbal balms for external applications along with herbal formulas taken internally help to benefit skin conditions and infections. Together these help regulate the pores in the skin which have become blocked due to a pathogenic factor, which is why the skin reacts. It is also the belief that acupuncture and herbs can be used to regulate the body's functions which enable blockages and heat to be released from the body. So summer CAN be the season of fun and happiness. Though as with all medicines - Chinese and Western, individual results may vary.
