Fall – Detoxify the Lungs ✨

The energy is peaking in the lung meridian in the body during the fall season. It is time to take care of your lungs.

Hegu (LI-4) is an important acupoint to help detoxify the lungs. It is located on the highest spot of the muscle when the thumb and index fingers are brought close together. You can pinch this spot with your thumb and index finger and press firmly and then release for about 3-5 minutes for each hand.

The lungs govern our skin, sweat is a great way to remove toxins in the lungs and refresh your lungs. A hot bath or sauna is also a great way to detoxify your lungs.

Between 3 am to 5 am, the body enters the best time to detoxify the lungs. It is important to let your body rest in a deep sleep state to support the detoxification process in the lungs. When you wake up early in the morning, your body is fully energized and the air outside is relatively fresher. You can take a deep breath and raise your arms, cough a few times, and then quickly drop your arms to help squeeze out the phlegm in your body. The sputum can carry a lot of toxins; this exercise can not only help keep the throat clean but also detoxify the lungs deeper.

Foods with a white color help soothe the lungs, such as cauliflower, mushroom, lobok, radish, and pears.
