In Chinese Medicine, the time between end of August and the fall equinox is known as Long Summer, a transitional time associated with the Earth element, grounding, nourishment and digestion.
The days are still warm and summer is still abundant, but the light is beginning to change and nature is slowly turning inward. After the expansive energy of summer, this season invites us to slow the pace, come back to center and notice what may need a little replenishing before we move into fall.
It’s a beautiful time to begin shifting toward warmer, more nourishing foods, incorporate bitter and aromatic herbs to support digestion, and make space for simple practices that help us feel grounded and restored.
Below you'll find some of our favorite herbs, teas and everyday supports for meeting this season with a little more intention.
