Seasons change, and your body and mental outlook change with them in predictable ways.

Oriental medicine at BIOM combines knowledge of seasonal characteristics with your unique health situation to balance your energy (Chi) to help you adapt and thrive during the cool, crisp months of autumn.

The Metal Element
Every season is associated with one of the Five Elements, and for autumn, the element is Metal—the energetic force that governs the health and functionality of your Lungs and Large Intestine.

According to Taoist 5 Element Theory, the Lungs are the primary influence affecting the immune system. So during autumn, it’s important to eat food that builds the overall health of the Lungs to strengthen your immune system now, and in preparation for winter.
