Regulate your Qi by following the Qi in the four seasons

Inschrijven – Registration

As a TCM practitioner, we understand that “Kidney is the root of life”. Well, which organ is the generator (mother organ) of the Kidney? the answer is the Lung according to the Five Element theory. The Lung governs the Qi, where the clear Qi from the nature comes to human systems and promotes our life, our vitality.

In the Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine, there is a very important chapter that discusses the change and feature of the Qi in the Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. It explains how the Qi in the nature influences the Qi of our body, how we can follow it in order to promote our vitality and health.

The element that associated with each of the seasons tends to have a stronger energy manifesting in the body at that time. To attain balance, one must be careful about eating foods that would further enhance that energy, while increasing the intake of those foods that would boost the strength of the element (and organ system) suppressed by the dominant element. So, for spring, sour foods are minimized, as they promote the energy of the dominant wood element (liver), while mildly sweet foods would be increased because they promote the energy of the earth element (spleen), which is suppressed by the wood element. A brief table may help:

Season	Dominant Element/Organ	Affected Element/Organ
Spring	Wood (Liver); eat less sour foods	Earth (Spleen); eat more mildly sweet foods
Summer	Fire (Heart); eat less bitter foods	Metal (Lungs); eat more pungent foods
Autumn	Metal (Lungs); eat less pungent foods	Wood (Liver); eat more sour foods
Winter	Water (Kidneys); eat less salty foods	Fire (Heart); eat more bitter foods

As to medical therapies, sometimes of general nature and other times in relation to specific symptoms or medical conditions. A table will help sum up:

Season	Examples of Cautions	Some Methods to Use
Spring	Do not simply use herbs to overcome stagnation. If there is no sign of disease, there is no need to take any medicine	When a disease is coming on, extinguish [or dispel] wind, harmonize qi, cool the diaphragm
Summer	Avoid draining yin qi, either by laxatives that induce diarrhea or by draining methods of acupuncture or moxibustion	Ingest warm substances during the summer solstice, and take tonics for the kidneys
Autumn	Avoid using dispersing therapies such as emetics or strong diaphoretics	use acupuncture/moxibustion and some herbal decoctions or powders which assist the patient’s yang qi
Winter	Warm diaphoretics should not be used excessively	Dispel existing pathogens with emetics. Take a combination of tonic materials steeped in wine; dioscorea wine is also good

In this seminar, Dr. Yifan Yang will introduce the changes of Qi in four seasons, and give the suggestion to follow it by using

acupuncture
physical exercises
diet
adjusting the life style. This information can be used for yourself, your family and your patients.
