处暑(Chùshǔ ), August 23, 2025 signals summer heat declines, nights cool and the air grows clearer. This is the beginning of “autumn dryness,” which can irritate the throat and lungs. Foods that moisten and replenish Yin—pear, lotus root, honey, lily bulb—are ideal. Soups and gentle broths restore body fluids depleted during the long summer. Breathing practices and quiet evening walks help the body adjust to seasonal change. This is a time for regulating rhythm, guarding health before the deeper autumn sets in. As daylight starts to shorten, perfect time to add some sleep time into the daily routine.
