Early summer: Naturopathic Seasonal Support for The Fire Element
We come into the Fire Element on the 21st June.
After the year we have had, our Fire Element may be really depleted having had a lack of social connections during lockdowns. We may be craving to be around friends and family to get the connection, to have human touch, to laugh, comfort and support those we care about. But we may also find, as restrictions are easing up, that we feel overwhelmed by too many people, feel the need to retreat back to those quieter, more isolating times. Finding the balance in this is essential. We need to nurture and nourish our Fire but not deplete it, if it is already lacking.
Could your digestive health be affecting your mental and emotional health?
There is no doubt, that suffering with digestive issues will affect how you feel. But could digestive dysfunction cause an imbalance in your mental and emotional wellbeing? A study showed that 70% patients who have been diagnosed with IBS have also sought medical attention for psychiatric comorbidity. With 46% with depression, 34% with anxiety, 31% with panic disorders.
Could your emotions be affecting your digestive health?
We are so connected to our stomach; our guts. We talk about our gut instinct, a gut feeling, but also not being able to stomach a situation. Or being emotionally wounded and feeling like someone has kicked us in the gut. Digestion is all about your ability to absorb and assimilate. Are you struggling to absorb and take on a situation that you do not want to? Or refusing to let go which can cause a sluggishness in your bowel movements and could lead to constipation?
