The Golden Glow Recipe:

  • Ginger: To warm the body and move stagnation.
  • Turmeric: To soothe inflammation.

  • Raw Honey: To coat the throat and moisten the lungs.
Method: Boil sliced ginger for 10 mins. Stir in ½ tsp turmeric and lemon juice. Let it cool slightly, then add a generous scoop of honey. (No time? Just a spoonful of raw honey works wonders for the "Metal" element/respiratory system!)3 Quick TCM Tips to Clear the Heavy Head:
  • Eat Warm: Avoid cold salads/dairy for a few days; they add to the "Dampness."
