Winter is a time when all of nature gets quiet and retreats for a bit. Energy is conserved and activity stops so, come spring there is the energy to start again. As humans, we too, are subject to these cycles of energy and activity, and winter is the perfect time to be still, get quiet and listen to that deep wise voice that lives within. Its a time to shore up resources and wait for the spark of inspiration thats just waiting to be heard. Its a time to come home to yourse...lf. These retreats are set up for you to get some much needed self-care time. They are held in Beautiful Muskoka so you can be surrounded by nature and immersed in fullness of the season.All your needs are taken care of: Delicious seasonal food, daily yoga &meditation as well as a therapeutic acupuncture or shiatsu sessions to nourish and replenish your mind and body. The retreat is also set up with some simple teachings based on the wisdom of Eastern medicine to help you embrace the true elements of the season. Ive included simple prompts and seasonally based questions to help you connect to your inner world and what ever is present. This is to nourish your Spirit and Soul. These Seasonal Retreats are focused on self-care, deep nourishment and time away from the daily demands and busyness. These retreats were formed, from the number one need that I see in my day-to-day Eastern Medicine clinical practice - a need for nourishing self-care and the space to stop and simply BE, for a bit. angelawarburton.com/retreat-with-me https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/80553560869 See more

From TCM we know that fall is the season of the metal element, lungs, and large intestine. They are prone to dryness in the presence of seasonal change, therefore have to be given special attention to stay moist and help the body resist environmental dryness. The lung also governs Wei Qi or the bodys surface immunity via opening and closing the pores. Sweating at unusual times can be a first sign that something is not right. Chills and fever suggest a more serious stage. In ...both of these cases and if you want to stay healthy and not get sick, TCM can help. book an appointment now: https://urban-wellness.janeapp.com/ https://www.tcmworld.org//the-five-major-orga/lung-health/ #cold #flu #coldandflu #fall #EPF #TCM #herbs #chiro #homeopathic #moxa #toronto #littleitaly #kensington #chinatown #sorethroat #aches #imsick #lungs #dry #largeintestine

Who knew something a simple as wearing a scarf was such a good idea? If you had someone tell you this before maybe go back and thank them now. Based on what weve learned from Chinese Medicine, the back of the neck is actually a very sensitive area to external pathogens like wind, so wearing covering the neck is actually kind of important especially when the temperature drops and the body isnt ready for it.

Unlike spring and summer, in fall the body is not as resilient to changes which you might be considering making in your diet. The body already has its own stuff its dealing with, such as adjusting to the shortening days and preparing for the winter solstice. Outside leaves are drying and the earth is falling fallow. Even if youre worried about the extra pounds that accumulate in winter, in fall the body might be asking for a little more to make sure you have the nutrition t...o keep your immune system strong and your gut biome balanced. Supportive foods its great to consume include apples, pears, scallions, sweet rice, squash, turnips, goose, and almonds. book an appointment now: https://urban-wellness.janeapp.com/ Streampoint wellness gives you an even more complete story here: http://www.streampointacupuncture.com/tis-season-fall-foods/ #cold #flu #coldandflu #fall #EPF #TCM #herbs #chiro #homeopathic #moxa #toronto #littleitaly #kensington #chinatown #sorethroat #aches #imsick #lungs #dry #largeintestine

In Canada, vitamin D from sunlight exposure can only be synthesized in your bare skin during the late spring, summer and early fall months, from around 10am 2pm, when the UV index is above 3. The amount of time necessary to make sufficient vitamin D depends on many factors including clothing coverage, use of sunscreen, skin pigmentation, and age and there is no one-size-fits-all guideline for the right amount of sun exposure. At Urban Wellness we... take seasonal adjustment very seriously. Dori Skye Engel, our Naturopathic Doctor, can help you understand and navigate change with the many crucial chemical balances that the body relies on.
