Why fall your body ... without understanding why
Each year, as early as mid-August, you feel a sudden soft stroke: persistent fatigue, dry throat, downward moral, small repeated colds.
These signs reflect a reality that traditional Chinese medicine (MTC) knows well: the beginning of autumn is one of the most sensitive periods for our energy balance.
🌿 The good news? Acupuncture, practiced during this period, makes it possible to anticipate seasonal imbalances, strengthen your defenses and prevent chronic disorders.

Summer fire exhausts your liquids and Qi
Summer, season of fire, pushed the body into its entrenchments:
- External heat → perspiration → loss of liquids
- Hot, spicy, barbecue → internal overheating
- Mental stress and intense rhythm → disruption of Shen (spirit)
Result: the kidneys and the lungs, guards of fall energy, are already in difficulty in early August.
The link with the energy of the lung and the yin
These symptoms often indicate an insufficiency of yin and an assault of the lung by drought, a well -known picture of acupuncture practitioners.
🩺 The objective of acupuncture care: nourish yin, moisten the lungs, expel residual heat and refocus energy.
Why do an acupuncture session at the change of season?

Support your body at home: MTC advice for fall
Create an environment that supports lung energy
In autumn, the metal element invites sorting, clarity and internalization. Some simple gestures at home can harmonize your space and your energy:
- Aerate every morning
Repeat the air to stimulate Qi from the lungs and eliminate stagnant humidity. - Unclutter your interior
Sorting, lightening your space, especially in living rooms, promotes a clearer mind and supports the circulation of Qi. - Distribute essential oils
Eucalyptus, ravintsara or cypress: these oils support the respiratory system and provide a feeling of calm and protection. - Conscious cleaning
In MTC, fall is the season of order: taking care of your environment with care, strengthens the Shen (the spirit) and anchors energy.
Gentle rituals to nourish yin and soothe the mind
When the yin declines, the body needs rest, anchoring and deep hydration. Here are some rituals to slow down and refocus:
- Comforting evening herbal tea
Hot infusion based on jujubes, chrysanthemum flowers or linen seeds to feed liquids and calm mental agitation. - Evening writing or silent meditation
A few minutes of introspection or conscious breathing make it possible to prevent emotional imbalances, including the sadness linked to the fall. - Fresh ginger lukewarm bath
Promotes muscle relaxation, releases tensions, and supports Yang while moistening the surface of the body. - Regular and earlier
Sleeping before 10 p.m. helps preserve the yin, regenerate the kidneys and follow the natural slowdown of the season.
Conclusion - In autumn, prevention is your best medicine
Do not leave seasonal fatigue or ENT ills. Traditional Chinese medicine offers concrete tools to prevent rather than cure.
🌿 By strengthening your lungs, nourishing your yin, and accompanying your energy transition, you cross autumn in balance.
