Great advice now the winter season has arrived

Winter's Arrival Wellness Tip

According to the Chinese lunar calendar, winter starts today and yin energy deepens, So nourish your body with a cuppa red date, fresh ginger, and astragalus tea. This gentle tonic helps strengthen Qi, warm the body, and support circulation through the cold season.

TCM tip: Avoid this tea if you have a cold, fever, or acute illness- tonics can trap pathogens instead of helping you recover.

Sip mindfully, stay warm, and let your inner yang energy stay bright through the winter months.
