As the cool air of autumn begins to settle, many of us notice changes in our skin, often becoming drier and more sensitive. In Five Element acupuncture, fall is associated with the Metal element, which is connected to the lungs and large intestine. These organs play an essential role in maintaining healthy skin, our body’s protective barrier. By aligning with the season and incorporating nourishing foods like omega-3-rich salmon and antioxidant-packed leafy greens, we can support our skin’s natural balance and resilience as we transition into the cooler months.
