Why during change of season most people fall sick,when we know that pathogens like viruses,bacteria ,protozoa cause disease?
"There are millions of tiny nerve endings in the lungs that are very sensitive to changes in temperature, humidity and barometric pressure,"
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, we talk about 5 elements – Fire, Earth, Metal, Water, Wood. Each of these elements relates to certain physiological functions in the body, as well as certain seasons of the year. The change in the seasons is a passing of the baton from one dominant energy in the universe to another – and that same change is occurring in our own energy in our body. During these changes, no one particular element’s energy is dominant, and weakness in our defenses can occur during this transitory period. A change in seasons, then, presents a change in the depth and direction of the body’s overall energy. This transition, like the transition between elements, is a time of weakness or susceptibility or we fall sick.
