Sol vs Luna: Why You Should Know Your Body Type

Luna(Blue) Sol(Red)

If you are wondering why your stomach hurts after eating a spicy meal while your friends seem to not be fazed by it at all, there might be a reason. In this blog post, we will be discussing the basic theory of the Luna and Sol individual and how these two types are affected by specific circumstances. 

 How A Luna Type Works

The Luna type is described to have a colder inner core. The core includes the throat, the stomach, the gastrointestinal down to the urinary tract. Because the core is the coldest part of the body, it is vital to keep the temperature consistently cool to avoid any ailments. When the core becomes warmer or even too cold, symptoms of sickness may arise. Korean acupuncture upholds the idea that balance is essential to keep the body stable and healthy from the inside out. 

What Might Make You a Luna Type

Sensitivity to Dry Foods: If you haven’t noticed, during the windy winter months, your skin becomes dry, cracked, and dehydrated. To combat that you usually use hand cream or moisturizer to bounce your skin back to some level of rehydration. Now, imagine eating dry ingredients such as bread, pasta, and cereal when your body is dried out and in desperate need of hydration during the coldest time of the year. An excessive amount of consumption of these foods may lead to symptoms such as unsettling, gurgling sounds of the stomach, or even diarrhea. Although having a cooler core is essential for good health, Luna types tend to have a higher tolerance for spicy foods.

Sensitivity to Milk and Beer: There are many drinks out there that are considered harmful to the Luna type’s stomach and gastric intestines due to their “cold” nature. A couple of examples of this would be excessive consumption of milk and beer. The Luna type may experience painful stomach aches and may even find themselves burping frequently.

Weather: Luna types tend to have more sensitivity during winter and fall, especially when it is windy. During the cold months, they may have a difficult time with their health which makes them more prone to sicknesses such as the average cold or the Flu. 

  How a Sol Type Works

This type is described to have a hotter inner core. Because the core is the hottest part of the body, it is important to keep the temperature consistently warm to avoid serious ailments. Just like the Luna type, when the gastrointestinal becomes warmer or too hot, symptoms can arise.

What Might Make You a Sol Type

 Sensitivity to Hot Foods: Maybe you are a lover of spicy foods and can never get enough of that hot sauce. But afterward, you feel the discomfort in your stomach leading to a struggle in the bathroom. An excessive amount of chili and garlic may be very hard on a Sol-type’s stomach. The Sol type tends to experience lower digestive tolerance when it comes to chili and garlic.

Sensitivity to Coffee and Spicy Teas: Coffee is a very acidic beverage. If drunk often, the Sol type might have the common symptom of gut or stomach pain. Ginger is also considered a hot, spicy herb. This herb is very popular when it comes to detox teas and beauty water. However, if consumed daily, the hot properties of the herb can cause an overabundance of heat within the body leading to symptoms such as constipation and bloating.

Weather: Sol types tend to have more sensitivity during the Spring and Summer seasons. During the months of heatwaves, they may have a difficult time with their health which makes them more prone to ailments such as sinus infections and migraines.
