		<description><![CDATA[In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) the season of spring is associated with the Wood element, the Liver organ, the color green, the attribute of wind and the emotion of anger. This is the season we associate with the beginning of growth. Though it?Äôs easy to see the association with wind and the color green, it [...]]]></description>

It gets colder, the days shorten and the rains (usually) lengthen. Instead of taking it easy (like TCM suggests) many of us are caught up with [...]]]></description>

Soon, gobs of it will be everywhere, especially if you?ve a few young ones in the house.

		<description><![CDATA[According to the Chinese calendar, autumn will begin this year on September 23.

It?s harvest time, [...]]]></description>
