As the autumn deepens, the chill in the air becomes more pronounced, and the nights grow cool and refreshing. On the final day of the National Day holiday, we welcome the Cold Dew solar term. This period marks a significant transition towards cooler weather, a time when nature gradually shifts into a phase of receding warmth and growing coolness. To align with this natural rhythm, our personal nourishment should focus on conservation and inner nurturing.

Three Nourishing Practices for Cold Dew

Embrace Acidity

Incorporating acidic foods can help nourish the lungs. Fruits and vegetables such as tangerines, lemons, pomegranates, tomatoes, dark plums, and grapes not only support lung health but also contribute to the well-being of the liver.

Focus on Hydration

Autumn dryness may lead to internal discomfort. As the principle goes, “dryness calls for moistening.” During this season, it is beneficial to include nourishing ingredients like lingzhi, lotus seeds, lily bulbs, sesame, and glutinous rice in your diet to help maintain balance and comfort.

Enjoy the Heights and Autumn Views

The phrase “frost-kissed leaves rival the blossoms of early spring” perfectly captures the beauty of the Cold Dew period. It’s an ideal time to hike up high and take in the breathtaking views of crimson leaves, immersing yourself in the vibrant colors of late autumn.

As the seasons transition, it’s important to cultivate inner calm and preserve your energy.

Consider incorporating lingzhi spore oil into your routine—a couple of drops daily to support your wellness and vitality!

Outside your window, chrysanthemums bloom in the crisp air, and the landscape is painted in rich autumn hues.

May you continue to find warmth and comfort in the days ahead.
