TCM & Tea

TCM views winter as a season that corresponds to the Water element and the storage of energy. It is associated with the Kidneys, the Bladder, and the ears.
Winter in TCM is associated with reflection, introspection, and stillness. It is considered a time for conserving one's energy and nourishing the spirit.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), certain teas are often recommended during winter to help warm the body, support circulation, and provide comfort during the colder months.
Here are some tea recommendations to keep you warm this winter:

Ginger Tea: Ginger is known for its warming properties and is commonly used in TCM to promote circulation and digestion.

Chai Tea: Chai tea is a spiced tea that typically contains a blend of warming spices such as cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, cloves, and black pepper.

Dandelion Root Tea: Dandelion root tea is believed to have a gentle warming effect on the body. It is often used in TCM to support digestion and promote liver health.

Ginseng Tea: Ginseng tea is believed to help boost vitality, support the immune system, and increase circulation.
