The Metal element is associated with the Lungs and Large Intestine, the season of Autumn and the color white. As we move into Fall our diets should start to incorporate heavier foods such as more grains, beans, animal proteins and hearty soups to build warmth and yang for the colder months ahead.
Try incorporating white colored foods such as radishes, white meats and mushrooms and pungent foods such as onions, garlic, turnips and white peppercorn to stimulate the lungs and large intestine.
Flax seed, fennel and fenugreek tea can also help clear old mucous from the lungs.
Beautiful presentation of food nourishes our senses and Metal element within us.
