Cool fall weather is finally being ushered in here in So Cal with the first rains of the season this weekend. Temperature is going to dip a lot with a lot more humidity. . I am making my chicken soup to help my family adjust to this big shift in temperature and humidity. In Chinese Medicine, we say that if you can keep your body warm from the inside out, you’re less likely to catch an upper respiratory infection (or autoimmune conditions, menstrualproblems, arthritis, etc). ... Adding a lot of ginger, garlic, onions and cooking sake to raise the energetic temperature of the soup is key. Every sip will warm my family and I to our deep core and to every cells. This will be ready tomorrow. Yum!! I’ll be adding Qi tonifying herbs into the soup for one hour before consuming, to power up the immune boosting, gut strengthening, life enhancing actions of a soup. These herbs can be purchased through Iyashi Wellness. So consider starting to incorporate warming spices in your cooking, drinking soups and warming teas as the weather gets cooler and cooler. #chinesemedicine #foodasmedicine #chineseherbalmedicine #chineseherbs #soup

I shared this last year and the year before that. And I am going to emphasize stronger now the urgency of having an air purifier system at home. I sell them, medical grade HEPA filter air purifiers. Contact me if you'd like to purchase one. PSA for protection from smoke inhalation It's become all too frequent and common, these massive fires here in CA. ... I am once again posting my article to help combat the effects of the smoke inhalation. Since writing the article, I now also carry a wonderful tincture called Evil Bone Water that you can put directly on your throat and chest and around the sinus cavity to help soothe the irritated throats, sinuses and lungs. Kids 8-9yo and up you can use unless they're very sensitive children. It's all natural using imperial grade chinese herbs that have soothing, menthol-like quality as well as anti-viral/bacterial properties, but it's also warming, so it keeps the area stimulated while the coolness keeps the inflammation down. It's also decocted with drinking alcohol, as opposed to isopropyl alcohol, so it's totally safe to put on skin. No coloring, no chemical preservatives. Because of the antimicrobial properties, this is an excellent product to use as a preventative for colds/flus. I spray this on my neck, chest and throat now regularly to keep infections at bay. And of course, today, with all the bad air. Evil Bone Water can be purchased at my office. Consider sucking on lozenges throughout the day to keep your throat and nose protected with more saliva in the area. I personally like Zand Herbalozenges. Free of corn syrup, sucrase and artificial colors/sweetners, flavors. I'm sucking on one now as we speak, the Menthol one. In addition to drinking water, drink soups, ramen, hot udon, chicken noodle, wonton soup, pho, bone broth, whatever, but drink clear-broth-based soups these next few days to bump up your family's hydration. Doesn't hurt to get into the practice of this now that we're in Fall and the air dries through Winter. Be safe everyone, and wishing for everyone's wellness.
