By Chris Helmstetter, LAc

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is recently in the news for all the wrong reasons.  One of the main criticisms is the lengthy wait for America's veterans to get medical appointments and treatments.  Veterans often deal with more complex and more intense medical issues than the general population.  Disruptions in care and limited medical options exacerbate their issues.  But even while the VA struggles to care for its veterans, it does try to listen to their needs.

In Chinese medicine, summer is the season associated with the fire element, and with the organs of the Heart, Small Intestine, the Pericardium, and the Triple Heater (more about those last two in a moment). They are the organs of warmth, connection, joy, and passion and by using the principles of Chinese medicine, we can learn to have balanced fire in our own lives.
