Brewing Teas: Free Their Medicine

Dr. Elizabeth Cox, ND, LAc Posted on November 8, 2019 by Dr. Sarita CoxNovember 9, 2019

As the days become shorter and we move further into the autumn season, let us embrace this Metal Element time of year. The Fall season is the body’s last attempt to rid itself of toxins and pathogens before Winter, when our bodies naturally slow down and rest. Seasonal Health Refresher: The Metal Element expresses itself as the Lungs and Large Intestine.  It is one of the five elements in Chinese Medical Theory. As Metal relates to autumn, Water relates to winter, Wood relates to spring, Fire relates to summer, and Earth is the transitional time between all of the seasons. … Continue reading →

Dr. Elizabeth Cox, ND, LAc Posted on August 30, 2019 by Dr. Sarita CoxSeptember 5, 2019

  Pericardium The Heart Protector (Xin-Bao) 心包 The fire element, which peaks during the summer season, not only governs the heart but also the small intestine, triple burner and the PERICARDIUM. WHAT IS THE PERICARDIUM? The word pericardium is derived from Latin Peri (around) and Cardium (heart).

SMALL INTESTINES THE SEPARATOR OF PURE FROM IMPURE             As most of the planet is enduring and even setting heat records during the peak of the fiery summer season, in the Southern U.S., we are experiencing an unseasonably cool period this week.  Here we continue with our seasonal theme of the fire element and the elemental organ system.
