Summer’s here, and it’s time for vacation, holidays, and fun! In Chinese medicine, summer vibes with the Fire element, bringing warmth, brightness, and lots of activity. This season encourages us to be open, social, and expressive. The Fire element is all about warmth and brightness, making us more connected and expressive. It’s linked to the heart and small intestine, and emotions like happiness, euphoria, and sometimes petulance or feeling startled.
In Dien Chan reflexology, focusing on the heart and small intestine helps balance our bodies. This can improve emotions, circulation, immune function, digestion, and even help with skin issues like acne. The heart is super important in Chinese medicine, governing the circulatory system and blood vessels. Keeping it balanced is key, especially in the lively summer months.
Essential oils can also help keep the Fire element balanced.
For emotional balance, if joy and laughter are missing, try basil, lavender, ylang ylang and geranium. Feeling burnt out? Basil, peppermint, and black spruce can bring back vitality. For enthusiasm and creativity, try ylang ylang, lavender, sweet orange, grapefruit, frankincense and our beautiful Elevate essential oil blend.
