In East Asian medicine, late summer is associated with the Earth element, which governs the Spleen and Stomach. This is the time of year when the digestive system is most active and most vulnerable.
When Earth energy is balanced, we feel nourished, grounded, centered, and supported. But when it’s out of balance, we may experience fatigue, worry, bloating, sugar cravings, or digestive upset.
A strong digestion is the foundation of good health. When the Spleen and Stomach are working efficiently, the whole body benefits. Here are a few simple ways to support your digestion:
- Avoid excess sugar – Too much sugar thickens the blood and creates stagnation, heat, and dampness.
- Skip ice-cold foods and drinks – Cold weakens the body’s ability to transform and transport food, slowing digestion.
- Reduce cheese – Cheese produces dampness, mucus, and stagnation, which can lead to heat and heaviness.
Eat warm, cooked foods that are gentle on the stomach. Favor naturally sweet flavors like squash, yams, carrots, and millet. Small adjustments in diet can have a big impact on your energy, clarity, and long-term well-being.
