Health Cultivation at Five Seasons

Based on “unity of human and nature” theory, TCM approaches the human body as part of the natural world and thus inextricably linked to natural cycles. In Chinese medicine, each year is divided into five seasons ---- spring, summer, late summer, autumn, and winter. Different seasons call for different forms of care: nourishing the liver in spring, the heart in summer, the spleen in late summer, the lung in summer, and the kidney in winter.
