17th seasonal point
Hanlu marks the beginning of the 3rd month/ the end stage of autumn. A month ago, in Bailu, the weather changed from hot to chill. Now, in Hanlu, it is going from chill to cold.
TCM’s tip for this season is KEEP WARM. Stop the cold from getting in, especially from the feet. A hot foot bath before bed warms the whole body and improves sleep quality.
