🍂 TCVM Five Elements Series: The Metal Element 🍂
In Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM), each season is linked to an element.
Autumn belongs to the Metal Element 🌬️ a time of transition, letting go, and preparing for rest.
The Lung is the organ most connected with Metal. It governs breath, immunity, and the skin–hair coat.
When strong and balanced, pets have:
✨ Clear breathing
✨ A shiny, healthy coat
✨ Good resistance to illness
But when the Metal Element is out of balance, we may see:
⚠️ Coughing or breathing issues
⚠️ Nasal discharge or congestion
⚠️ Dry, itchy skin or a dull coat
⚠️ Digestive changes linked to the Large Intestine
🐾 Metal-type personality in animals:
Pets with a Metal element prevalence are often disciplined, orderly, and thrive with routine. They can be loyal and obedient, but may become withdrawn, rigid, or overly sensitive when out of balance.
🍃 By supporting the Metal Element during autumn through nutrition, acupuncture, herbs, and lifestyle - we help pets stay resilient, comfortable, and in harmony with the season.
💡 Now is the perfect time to come for a visit and give your pet’s immune system a seasonal boost. Let’s strengthen their Metal Element and keep them thriving this autumn. 🐶🐱🍁
