This season’s healing dishes aim to support the Lung & Large Intestine, the organ pair dominated by the Metal Element.
According to time-tested wisdom and Traditional Chinese Medicine, we must tonify these organs because they are most receptive during this time.
Just as metal is found deep within the earth, the issues and opportunities it calls up are our core ones, questions of identity, boundaries, purpose.
As Autumn’s abundant root vegetables reach down into the earth, we too turn our attention within, to assess what our choices and behaviours have manifested - our personal harvest.
