June traditionally is when we see ourselves fully immerse ourselves into the summer vibe of heat and light, with the summer solstice on the horizon.??According to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), the season of summer is associated with the element of Fire and the organs of the heart and small intestine.
The heart is considered as the ?king? of the organs by TCM for the vital role it plays in controlling our circulation and distribution of blood, and the consequent dependence of all other organs on it for good health. It is also said to house the body?s spirit and therefore plays an integral role in our emotional world.
