Autumn Wellness: Acupuncture for stress and immunity Towson MD. Acupuncture for Grief & Seasonal Balance in Towson MD.

Jean Donati Acupuncture – Towson, Maryland

Autumn invites us to slow down, breathe more deeply, and release what no longer serves us. In Chinese Medicine, this season aligns with the Metal Element, which governs breathing, immunity, clarity, and emotional letting go.

Understanding the Metal Season

Lungs (Fei)

• Support breathing & immunity

• Regulate emotional balance

• Process grief

• Influence skin health

Large Intestine (Da Chang)

• Helps the body release physical & emotional waste

• Supports clarity and boundaries

When the Metal Element is balanced, you feel calm and steady. When it’s out of balance, you may notice low mood, fatigue, constipation, allergies, or emotional heaviness.

 Why Autumn Can Feel Heavy

Shorter days and cooler temperatures impact mood and energy. Many people experience:

• Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)

• Lower motivation

• Increased sleep

• Difficulty concentrating

• Emotional heaviness or resurfacing grief

Autumn is often the ideal time for a seasonal acupuncture tune-up for stress and immunity in Towson MD.
