First Stirring, Quiet Ascent: Chinese Climatic Medicine Extrait (Jan 19th – Mar 20)
Chinese Climatic Medicine 30% Extrait
First Stirring · Quiet Ascent
2 ml sample or 10 ml
The perfume of early movement held inside restraint.
This is not spring bloom, not ignition, not release.
It marks the moment when Yang first begins to rise beneath lingering winter, when life stirs but does not yet show itself.
Quiet Ascent supports emergence without rupture.
It strengthens the pivot between storage and movement, allowing intention, breath, and will to rise together - slowly, coherently, and without agitation.

In Daoist / Chinese medical language
Qi Period: 1st Qi (一之氣)
Dates: January 19 – March 20, 2026
Guest Qi: 厥陰 風木 · Jueyin Wind Wood
Seasonal function: Yang arriving within still-dominant Yin
This Qi governs the first stirring of life.
Wind Wood begins to move beneath containment. Fire has not yet taken command. The task is guidance, not propulsion.
⸻
Pathodynamics
Yang arrives quietly.
Movement begins at depth and rises slowly toward the surface.
If rushed, Wind becomes agitation.
If constrained, Qi knots and turns inward.
The correct motion is guided ascent — movement that remains rooted, breath that opens without scattering, intention that forms without pressure.
⸻
Therapeutic principle
-
Guide Wind without agitation
Mobilize Liver Qi gently so movement is orderly, not erratic.
-
Support ascent from depth
Strengthen the lower axis so Yang rises from storage rather than tension.
-
Preserve breath and structure
Protect Lung Metal as Wood begins to move, preventing dryness or collapse.

Clinical indications
• Early-spring fatigue or hesitation
