Ying Yu Jade/Calm Spirit September 2010 Newsletter

September and Chinese Wellness

September is early autumn in Chinese medicine. The element is metal, the color is white,and related to the lung. The yang organ is the large intestine. Food that supports the lung and large intestine has a spicy taste. For health, also eat seasonal fruits, such as apples, pears, peaches, grapes, tomatoes. The weather starts to become cooler, so be sure to keep warm. Although it might be difficult to give up the warm weather clothes you wore in August, this is the time of year when people start to catch colds. If you feel like you need to sleep more, it's because your immune system is trying to get stronger for the cooler weather that will come this month and next.

If you have ragweed allergies this time of year, try Xiao Yao Wan. Drink green tea for your immune system and to keep toxins and allergens flushed from your body. Ginseng is also good for building immunity, and the sliced ginseng root is convenient to carry and use during the day. You can also cook with it.

If you have spent a lot of time outdoors and find that you've been squinting in the summer brightness, don't let that squint turn into a forehead wrinkle. Frown Ease Kits combine the healing power of heat and jade to restore the blood flow to your forehead to help release and prevent wrinkles. The jade rollers have been used for centuries in China, and were found in the Emperor's bedroom in the Forbidden City. In fact, I there is a photo of an old jade roller in the Forbidden City on my 2005 China Travelog.

Jade for September

you wear jade for health and energy, to keep your body qi flowing smoothly, this is the time to wear "moss in snow" or "spinach" colors, or variations of light and green jade. September weather is often hot but by the end of the month it's starting to get cool, so your body needs "yin yang" energy, a little of each, to keep balanced. Ying Yu Jade offers yin yang energy balancing jade in bangle bracelets and pendants.

Ying Yu Jade offers this color pattern jade in smooth Burmese jadeite bangle bracelets, carved jadeite bangle bracelets, and pendants. There are options for ordering pendants if you would like your pendant made into a necklace which will be a unique, one-of-a-kind special piece for you.

I found a perfect end of summer pendant that has all the colors of jade that correspond to the Chinese medicine organ meridians, limited supply

Ying Yu Jade is NOT a discount web site. The prices are below retail and there are prices and jade pieces for every budget. They are not artificially marked up, and you won't see a discount "sale" every month on every item. So a Ying Yu Jade sale is a REAL sale.
