In East Asian medicine, winter corresponds to the Water element and the Kidney system, the deepest reservoir of our vital energy. This is the season when yang energy retreats to its most interior place, like a seed buried in frozen ground. 

In herbal medicine, we don't think about immunity as something that needs to be constantly ramped up. We think about it as a system that needs to be nourished, regulated, and sometimes gently awakened. A healthy immune system knows when to act and when to rest. It doesn't overreact or underperform.

As summer fades, the body begins to turn inward too. Learn how to move with the rhythm of nature through the autumnal transition. With nourishment, light, gentle movement, and herbal support for balance.

The winter blues is a very real thing. There is even a medical name for it when it gets really bad. Seasonal Affective Disorder.  You don’t have to have full blown SAD to experience the symptoms of lethargy, lack of motivation, depression, fatigue, low appetite, sleep issues, and so much more blah-ness.
