TCVM THURSDAY ☯️ Late Summer Season is time for the TCVM 🌎 EARTH ELEMENT that governs the SPLEEN and STOMACH Organs. The color is yellow. DIET: Food and spices to tonify the spleen are carrots, pumpkin, yam, cinnamon, and ginger. Add small amounts of these food items to your pet's diet during this time of the ear to strengthen the Spleen and Stomach for the fall and winter months ahead. LATE SUMER COOKING: Minimize seasoning and spice.Keep meals simple and bland. Limit the use of oil in cooking food and in recipes. LATE SUMMER TIME "Transformation": Now is the time to find rhythms and cycles that are simple and harmonious with your inner soul. Meditate on a walk with your dog or horse. Meditate in the mornings with your cat or bunny. Read a book curled up in a blanket with a warm cup of organic tea with added cinnamon. #TCVMThursday #TCVM #EarthElement #LateSummer #Spleen #Stomach #ChineseMedicine #IntegrativeVeterinaryMedicine #harmonyroseanimalwellness #drrosedvm #ancientwisdom
