The Season of Letting Go: Grief and Fall in Eastern Medicine

As the leaves fall and nature begins to shed, autumn invites us to reflect on the emotions we carry, particularly grief. In Eastern medicine, grief is deeply connected to the season of fall, aligning with the lungs and large intestine—organs responsible for both intake and release. Just as the trees let go of their leaves, we too are encouraged to release emotional burdens. This blog explores how the rhythms of autumn mirror the process of grief, offering insight into healing through mindful practices, reflection, and the natural cycles of change.
