Spring season: Lung and immunity
The Lung is the only organ directly in contact with the exterior environment through the airways and the skin. So changes in the external environment will first affect the health of the Lungs and your immunity. For example, in spring it is more windy and there is more pollen in the air. It's also drier and especially in Western Australia the weather changes from being cold and damp to warm and dry. These changes can easily affect the Lung and the body's immunity by causing symptoms such as hay fever, dry skin, rashes, itchiness, asthma, and/or common colds. All these symptoms can not only affect the Lungs but also a person's general health and their quality of life. If some of these symptoms remain unresolved over a longer period of time, the functions of other organs can be affected as well.

Suggestions to improve your Lungs and immunity:
avoid doing physical activities in very strong windy conditions
get exposed to gentle sunshine 30 minutes per day
avoid over-exposure to plants and flowers that may trigger your allergic reactions
avoid eating foods that are hot and spicy in nature such as: chilli, lamb, ginger, shell fish and deep-fried foods
eat more of the following cooling and moistening foods: pears, green leafy vegetables, lemon (not if you have reflux), honey, white fungus, lotus seeds, cucumber, Chinese cabbage, eggplant.
