In the 7th and 8th Months of Pregnancy, the Lung and Large Intestine Meridians of the expecting mom is responsible for nurturing the fetus. These Meridians help form bones, skin, pores, and nine orifices of the fetus. It is advised to avoid acupuncture or acupressure along the Lung meridian in the 7th month and Large Intestine meridian in the 8th month.
From 5 Elements’ point of view, Lung and Large Intestine are Metal element, correlating to the season of Autumn. Imagine in autumn, fruits are ready for harvest, branches are shriveled up to release fruits, and energy is descending: keep your skin pores covered, keep warm when you dress or bathe, take walk or stretch to move qi an blood.
Emotion related to Lung and Large Intestine is grief. Crying and feeling emotional, is actually normal in pregnancy. As hormones surge in an expecting mom, you may find yourself sobbing over the funniest things, well, in retrospect. But at the moment, those feelings are real deal! Remember, our energy is naturally descending to prepare for birth, thus anything that exhausts energy must be avoided such as bawling or shouting. According to Huang Di Nei Jing (Internal Classic), all disorders start with the Qi: Anger raises Qi. Joy slows the Qi. Grief depletes the Qi. Fear sinks the Qi. Overthinking clumps the Qi.
Metal element relates to the color of White and the taste of Pungent. To nourish the Lung and Large Intestine Meridians, choose tonifying foods from families of rice, wheat, and white colored whole foods. Avoid the following: hot fried and spicy foods, hunger and overeating, and drinking ice cold beverages. Some Lung tonifying foods include: pears, white onion, honey, almonds, lotus root, white daikon radish, etc.
妊娠7-8月，
行走肺和大腸經，
胎兒皮毛骨骼及九竅成形。
五行的肺和大腸屬金，情志為悲傷，
如同秋天，大環境自然產生肅殺之氣。
情緒會慷慨激昂，為了避免耗氣，
無大言，無號哭，收斂神氣。
無薄衣，無洗浴，無寒飲。
無食燥物，無輒失食，無忍大起。
勿過飽或飢餓，避免乾燥辛辣食物。
可挑白色系列食材，補肺食物
如: 白梨白蘿蔔蜂蜜杏仁蓮藕百合等。
