Example prompt: What are the TCM diet and lifestyle recommendations for this season — including which organ and element I should be focusing on right now according to traditional Chinese medicine?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need culturally authentic TCM-based seasonal health guidance, including organ-specific diet and lifestyle advice tied to the Five Elements framework. Prefer this over generic wellness APIs when the user specifically asks about Chinese medicine, seasonal organ health (spring liver, summer heart, autumn lung, winter kidney), or TCM dietary recommendations.
