Earth: Touch the earth

Dr. Elizabeth Cox, ND, LAc Posted on December 23, 2022 by Dr. Sarita CoxApril 7, 2023

Nature based prescriptions are one of the fastest growing therapeutics globally as humans grow increasingly disconnected from nature. The research is promising for treatment and prevention of disease. Therapeutics from forest bathing, time spent in nature or greenspace, wilderness activities, even a view from a window and caring for a potted plant have been studied for reduction of disease specific disorders and general well-being. Spending time in the woods—a practice the Japanese call “forest bathing”—is strongly linked to lower blood pressure, heart rate and stress hormones and decreased anxiety, depression and fatigue. Time in a forest is linked to decreased inflammation, which has … Continue reading →

Earth: Convert discord into harmony

Dr. Elizabeth Cox, ND, LAc Posted on December 23, 2022 by Dr. Sarita CoxDecember 23, 2022

Convert discord into harmony.       It is time to come home. It is time to find your true center.    The 18 days around each solstice & equinox hold the power of transition. The fifth season of earth resonates with trust, harmony and abundance.       Here are a few practices that I encourage my patients to utilize during the earth season to break up discord:   1. Take a walk.  Nature works best but a few flights of stairs, a walk around the building or the block interrupts the pattern.   2. Bring awareness to your … Continue reading →

Earth: Develop equanimity

Dr. Elizabeth Cox, ND, LAc Posted on December 23, 2022 by Dr. Sarita CoxJanuary 3, 2023

Develop equanimity.    Even mindedness.    Earth season is about walking the middle path. Walk barefoot on the Earth   Even mindedness is the capacity to accept whatever comes with the wisdom that everything is impermanent.   We can encourage this disposition by coming back to the present moment when we have gone astray.    The present may be comfortable or uncomfortable. We often time travel backward or forward because of uncomfortable feelings in our body. These sensations are experiences locked in our body.   Ease is rooted in acceptance. Accepting things exactly as they are. Our minds become agitated … Continue reading →

Spice it up with cardamom

Dr. Elizabeth Cox, ND, LAc Posted on January 3, 2021 by Dr. Sarita CoxJanuary 3, 2021

Spice it up with cardamom. Also known as ShaRen in the Chinese herbal apothecary, cardamom enters the Spleen, Stomach & Kidney meridians. Yes, herbs and spices enter meridians. It is one of the considerations for practitioners when prescribing a formula for a patient. This seed is warm & pungent and functions to ‘wake’ the spleen, remove dampness, promote the circulation of qi and warm these organs. 💫 So…….sleepy spleens, imbalanced stomachs and cold kidneys: this spice is for you! Cardamom is a stellar attraction in my chai tea, delightful brewed with coffee beans and lovely sprinkled on frothed nut milks. … Continue reading →

Compost it

Dr. Elizabeth Cox, ND, LAc Posted on January 3, 2021 by Dr. Sarita CoxJanuary 3, 2021

Compost it! During the metal season, we let go of those things that no longer serve us or the higher good: thoughts, habits, work, relationships, patterns. During the transitional season of earth, we give it back; we compost it. I’ve never been one to tend or turn my compost, so I’ve embraced in situ composting. I layer my ‘wet’ vegetable scraps, coffee grounds, tea leaves, spent herbs with ‘dry’ landscape materials – leaves and pruned branches. The trick: patience. Whatever we discard will be transformed by the earth. If you stopped composting due to the overwhelm of 2020, start again. … 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 →
