Does "Lichun" mean autumn has arrived?
Lichun (Start of Autumn) is one of the 24 solar terms, usually falling on August 7th or 8th each year, symbolizing the beginning of autumn. However, in Canada, August weather is still hot, so Lichun does not mean immediate "heavy tonics." Instead, it reminds us to start preparing for autumn and winter wellness.
Is it essential to take heavy tonics during Lichun?
Many people believe that once Lichun arrives, they should start consuming a large amount of tonics, but this is not the case.
Wellness should be gradual, focusing on mild nourishment, coupled with a balanced diet and adequate rest, allowing the body to slowly adapt to the seasonal transition.
