October 8th, 2012, "Cold Dew", the 5th small Autumn season arrives

    In 2012, the season of "cold dew" arrives on October 8th,same as last year. Celestial longitude: 195 degree. For most of the seasonal information please read this article.

    For readers from where I am (WNY area), we have had a unusual warm autumn so far, which is nice as it appears but not ideal for our energy to withdraw and store for the winter. The warm weather mainly causes 2 major health (energy) issue to the body:
    1. It makes us sweat too much. Sweat is the the body fluid that connects with the heart system energy, over-sweat cause dryness to the body system. When the real dry cold comes, our body may not have enough good moisture to balance it. 
    Solution: Eat and drink sour, like seasonal fruits, juice and food that are in white color. Try not to exercise too much to over sweat. But meanwhile do not go the other extreme by using air conditioner or fan. Stay balanced, but towards the cool side.

    2. Liver system energy being over active. Spring-like wind and energy directly activate the liver energy, which is totally the opposite energy we need in this season. This can cause symptoms like shoulders and neck tension and pain, high blood pressure, headache, digestion issue, irritability, or other emotional discomfort. 
    Solution: Eat less spicy food, again, stay on the sour side and add some sweet as well. Cultivate the emotional condition, avoid argument with others and try to understand the aggressive attitude of the others. 

    For other readers, if your area is also being warmer than usual, you can apply the rules above as well. If the weather pattern seems to be normal, simply follow the seasonal tips.
