Chinese medicine holds seasonal passages in high regard. Organs, viscera and sense organs experience the transition. The moment of transition we are experiencing is closely related to the Spleen, whose energy helps to float well in these seasonal passages.
The well-being of the Milza in late summer
In traditional Chinese medicine, an element is associated with each phase of the year. The Spleen is connected with the Earth and its proper phase is that of the Late Summer.
The Chinese classics explain that the virtue of this organ is that in which "one does not remain seated for long". In summary, even if you go towards the cold, the body wants movement, further if not greater movement.
But it must be remembered that gradualism is needed and the increase in physical work must be gradual. To help the proper note of this organs are the light flavors (those of vegetables, lettuce ) and the moderate ones (fruit, especially apples and pears, and cereals - wheat, rice, corn and millet).
These foods nourish the energy of the Spleen. The strong flavors of foods made from refined sugar are very harmful. Sweets hamper the function of the Yin meridian meridian .
To help the internal organs in this transitional phase it can be useful a herbal tea or a sweet infusion (for example of mallow, rich in mucilage and polyphenols).
Thoughts, acceptance, memory
Nourishment at this stage of the year is also spiritual nourishment . Get closer to those who know how to be silent, to those who can dispense a hug without asking anything in return, to those who move around the world with a smile.
The Spleen accommodates thoughts and obsessions, doubts and remorse are harmful to its functioning. In the Spleen "analytic thinking" dwells, intelligence and the ability to put it at the service of the motor center and instinctive, emotional. The short-term memory is passed to the Kidneys who then take care of transferring everything in the form of memories to the Heart.
Openness and acceptance are positive emotions associated with the Spleen. Better not to fear them, but to know them and, indeed, accept them.
