Chinese medicine has always recognized the deep connection between human health and the natural world. From the guidance of Feng Shui to classical teachings on seasonal attunement, the tradition emphasizes balance between Heaven, Earth, and Humanity as essential to well-being.

Seasonal and epidemic disease patterns through the lens of Chinese medicine

Shen disturbances related to environmental imbalance

Clinical tools for supporting patients during ecological stress
