TCM infused with 'autumn dryness' treatments

Dry air that sets in throughout most of the country during autumn can cause health problems - but there are traditional treatments to help.

Chinese have since ancient times used several practices to maintain health during this time.

"The most common issue is qiu zao (literally, autumn dryness) - a lack of water in the environment and body," says Wang Jie, president of Guang'anmen Hospital of the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences.
