Fall is “Lung” Meridian Time

The Lung Meridian is in charge of breathing and the opening and closing of pores.  Fall is “Lung” time. The “Spirit” associated with the Lung Meridian is “Po.”  Po is the body’s “corporeal” soul and needs to be needled to assist with alleviating pain in the body.

The Lungs have a downward action which the Kidney Meridian assists with.  The Kidneys are responsible for “grasping Lung Qi.”   

We see a lot of coughing in the Fall when Lung Qi is deficient. 

Pears (when sliced open look like a pair of “lungs”) are a great “food” to eat in the Fall.

Here’s a great Lung/Pear recipe:

4 Bosc pears - cut in halves

Captain Morgan Spiced Rum
1/3 c. brown sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon

Small bag of sliced almonds

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Place fresh pear halves or canned halves in baking dish.

Pore small amount of Captain Spiced Rum over pears.

Sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon mixture atop halves.

Bake 8-10 minutes – check with toothpick.

Top with sliced almonds when cooled.
