Hakuro

 The season of the middle September is called ‘’Hakuro’’ – the white dewdrop.

Rising Yin Qi makes dewdrop cloudy white.  This is the sign that autumn begins.  The breeze becomes cool and refreshing in the morning and in the evening.  It may even become cold this season. 

Our body will become autumn body, influenced by Yin Qi.

In Oriental Medicine, we consider Autumn as a season of ‘’Shuren’’,  means harvest, accept, stock, or fasten and close.  It also means our pores close.  They have been opening to sweat in summer, and need to be closed in autumn.  If you keep sweating and stay wet, you will easily get sick or unwell, especially related to water, like swelling, diarrhea, etc.

It is very important to wipe out your sweat.

Over intake of fat may shut or block you rpores.  It prevents to let sweat out and your skin may be over-dried condition like desert.

Go-koku, LI-4, is an effective acu point for these desease.
