Seasonal Health Adjustment β€” Classical Perspective for Each Season

Seasonal Health Adjustment β€” Classical Perspective for Each Season

Classical Chinese medicine recognises substantial seasonal influences on health β€” not mystical but practical recognition that summer heat affects body differently from winter cold, and living in rhythm with seasons supports resilience. At Nature’s Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture Clinic in Belmont (Perth) and Geraldton, Dr. Yang (Traditional Chinese Medicine) applies classical seasonal principles adapted to Perth’s Mediterranean climate.
