As we move deeper into the Fall season in the Northern Hemisphere, we will shed old layers to rebuild anew, both physically and mentally. This is a great time to declutter your space, to let go of what no longer serves you, and to surround yourself with warming foods, hydrating adaptogens & herbs, and nourishing practices. As we enter this colder season dominated by Yin energies, we return to our essence, uninhibited by the clutter of what no longer serves us.
Autumn is a season associated with dryness, a concept held in Traditional Chinese Medicine. In order to combat the seasonal environmental factors that cause pathogenic dryness, we need to rehydrate ourselves both externally and internally, and in a deeper way than simply drinking a glass of water, though that is extremely important, too!
Below is our list of adaptogens and herbs to help nourish, hydrate, replenish and protect you this Autumn season.
