Breathe Deep.  Are you mindful of your breathing? Healthy lungs are vital to our overall health.   The autumn season represents the Lung (肺)  phase of our body’s seasonal cycle as it is the season associated with the Lung and its partner, the Large Intestine (Colon).

Earth Transition

Dr. Elizabeth Cox, ND, LAc Posted on by

EARTH TRANSITION In Sanskrit, Ayurveda means knowledge of life.  Ancient Ayurvedic medicine classifies a person’s physical and emotional state of being using the three doshas—vata, kapha, and pitta. The doshas are the energies running throughout our bodies and minds that control all of our physical and mental systems.

A person’s body contains elements of all three of the doshas with one element usually taking precedence over the other two elements. These energies create the characteristics and particulars that … Continue reading →
