Embracing Autumn: How TCM and Functional Medicine Support Seasonal Wellbeing

October 18, 2025  /  Charlotte Tiffany

As a Functional Medicine Naturopath, my approach is rooted in understanding the whole person—not just their symptoms. I see health as a dynamic balance between body, mind, and environment, and my role is to help patients uncover the underlying causes of imbalance while supporting the body’s natural ability to heal.

While Functional Medicine offers a detailed, science-based view of how the body’s systems interact—from hormones and digestion to detoxification and immune health—Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) adds a beautifully intuitive, energetic perspective.

TCM recognises that we are influenced by the changing seasons, our emotions, and the natural rhythms of life.

By weaving these two approaches together, I can offer a truly holistic path to wellbeing. I use modern testing and nutritional insights alongside time-honoured TCM principles such as the Five Elements, meridian theory, and seasonal living. This blending of the two aspects allow me to guide patients not only towards physical balance but also emotional harmony and resilience.

And as the seasons shift, so do our internal energies. Autumn, in particular, invites us to slow down, reflect, and strengthen the systems that help us release and renew.

In TCM, each season corresponds to an organ system, and in autumn, the Lung and Large Intestine take centre stage. This dynamic duo governs our ability to take in what nourishes us—through breath, food, and inspiration—and let go of what no longer serves us.

The Lung is known as the great distributor of Qi (vital energy). Once the Stomach and Spleen have transformed food into nourishment, the Spleen sends this essence to the Lung, which then distributes Qi throughout the body to fuel and protect every organ system.

The Lung also extends this protective Qi to the space between the muscles and skin, shielding us from cold and wind. When the weather turns chilly, your body uses more Qi to keep you warm—so wrapping up well isn’t just about comfort, it’s also about conserving energy.

The Lung “moistens” the skin, so if your skin becomes dry, rough, or itchy at this time of year, it may be a sign that your Lung Qi needs some extra support. A simple tip? Add a little honey to your diet—it’s naturally moistening and nourishing.

The Lung also connects to the outer world through the nose and throat, which is why low Lung Qi can show up as a hoarse voice, shallow breathing, or frequent coughs. Gentle breathwork, singing, or even reading aloud can strengthen your voice and energy flow.

Paired with the Large Intestine, the Lung also teaches us about letting go. In both physical and emotional terms, holding on too tightly can create stagnation—whether that’s in the body (constipation, for example) or in the mind. Autumn encourages us to release, make space, and allow renewal.

A simple way to support your Lung Qi is by stimulating Energy Gate #1, an acupressure point found where the bones of the thumb and index finger meet in a small “V”. Gently massage this area with your opposite thumb, then continue along the index finger towards the first knuckle. This helps Qi flow freely through the meridians, promoting warmth, vitality, and balance.

Flowing with the Season -

When we live in tune with nature’s rhythms, our bodies respond with greater ease. By supporting Lung energy through warmth, breath, nourishment, and mindful release, we align ourselves with autumn’s gentle wisdom—a season of reflection, letting go, and preparing for renewal.

As the air turns crisp and the trees trade their green for gold, take time to truly savour the beauty of this season. Enjoy warm comforting foods, long walks wrapped in scarves, and deep breaths of cool, fresh air. Let the rhythm of autumn remind you to pause, reflect, and embrace change with elegance. Just as the trees release their leaves, so too can we let go—making space for rest, restoration, and the promise of new growth to come.
