In Autumn we focus on detoxification and purging, specifically of the lungs and large intestine. We eat nourishing and healing foods to prepare us for cold and flu season and choose foods that dispel cold and phlegm from the body. Some of the best foods to enjoy during autumn are apples, pears, persimmon, ginger, honey, green tea, pumpkin, squash, rosemary, broccoli, brussel sprouts, celery and yams.
