Soup Cleanse

Dr. Elizabeth Cox, ND, LAc Posted on January 27, 2021 by Dr. Sarita CoxFebruary 26, 2021

Soup Cleanse…….aka a winter reset    The number one question I get in January is “What do you think about this detox kit or that cleanse program or this product? My general answer is Winter is NOT the most harmonious time of the year to detoxify – save it for spring and fall.  And always, always prepare your body for a detox by opening the 5 avenues (emunctories) of elimination  ~ more on that later. Winter is for resting, restoring, dreaming, merging – hibernating in essence. I do understand the desire, even the need to reset after the overindulgence of … Continue reading →

Earth/transitin Dirt Immune function June 2

Dr. Elizabeth Cox, ND, LAc Posted on June 15, 2020 by Dr. Sarita CoxOctober 1, 2020

Traditional Chinese Medicine is divided into 5 seasons, Spring/Wood, Summer/Fire, Fall/Metal, Winter/Water, and Earth/Transition. Earth is a season of changes that reoccurs on the 18 days in between each of the other seasons. To celebrate the start of Earth season let’s get down to the nitty, gritty and talk DIRT!   If you grew up in the south it is likely you have heard the old adage “God made dirt, and dirt don’t hurt,” but is there something really to that?  You many have seen a tv show about individuals with a drive to eat non-food items also known as … Continue reading →

FIRE CREATES EARTH

Dr. Elizabeth Cox, ND, LAc Posted on September 27, 2019 by Dr. Sarita CoxNovember 5, 2019

Love Heals. Period. In Memoriam In a recent post about Fire pericardium, I introducted you to Dr. Rachel Eppinga, ND, LAc.  Rachel passed from this world into the light on the autumn equinox. Her body was diseased with cancer. I’ve included the last message she sent out to her community/tribe below. Rachel was a wayshower of how to reflect and transmute beauty in any situation; she was a beacon of light, a gatherer of women to heal together. I was recently gifted a very special Love Qigong from my dear colleague Rachel Eppinga, ND, LAc, when we gathered in Hara Mara, … Continue reading →

Dr. Elizabeth Cox, ND, LAc Posted on September 20, 2019 by Dr. Sarita CoxJanuary 19, 2021

F4: Separator of the Pure from the Impure

Dr. Elizabeth Cox, ND, LAc Posted on July 26, 2019 by Dr. Sarita CoxAugust 12, 2019

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. The element of fire embodies the bright, light, energetic essence of yang. However, fire without the grounding influence of Earth easily flares out of control.  The 2nd century dictionary Shuowen jiezi defines the heart as an Earth element, predating the concept of Heart … Continue reading →

E6: Simple food preparation for transitional times

Dr. Elizabeth Cox, ND, LAc Posted on June 28, 2019 by Dr. Sarita CoxJuly 15, 2019

In the South, cooking and eating are central to bringing people together, spending time with loved ones, and developing new friendships.   The seasonal return to the Earth element invites simple methods of food preparation that allow more time for self-love and beloveds.  Golden and earth toned foods like millet, corn, amaranth, rice, garbanzo, golden split mung and soy beans, hazelnuts, mushrooms, sweet potatoes, yams, squash, carrots, apricots, and cantaloupe are harmonizing choices.  All root vegetables strengthen our internal Earth.   Keep spices, seasonings and flavors mild during these days of transition and keep food temperatures not too hot and … Continue reading →

E4: Return to the Earth

Dr. Elizabeth Cox, ND, LAc Posted on June 14, 2019 by Dr. Sarita CoxJuly 15, 2019
Doyo

Return to the Earth Element The concept known as the Doyo in Traditional Chinese Medicine means the transitional time between the changing of the seasons. Each season corresponds to a specific element and the seasonal transition period relates to the Earth element. Human beings are  grounded in and supported by the Earth below and, ideally, open to the flow of divine blessings from the heavens above. The Earth element is associated with times of change throughout the year, which happen between each of the seasons around the two equinoxes and the two solstices. These transition phases begin about 7 days … Continue reading →
