Recently several clients of the clinic have become pregnant! (If you’re not trying to conceive, don’t worry, it’s not contagious.. although often times they were receiving treatments together so maybe their combined qi helped influence each other’s fertility!)

I wish all of you a happy and healthy pregnancy and birth and look forward to meeting the new arrivals in the spring!!!

Sticking Together

Hope you’re all staying cool!  Last Week I recommended to someone that they make Chrysanthemum tea for dry eyes during the summer.  Then I happened to stumble upon a recipe for it online so I decided I’d pass it along.  It’s a really cooling drink and tastes pretty great.  You can probably find all the ingredients at the Spring Garden Market!

Summer Treat for Heat
Summer is the season of Yang energy and activity.  Under the rising temperatures, our bodies are especially prone to accumulated Heat and Dampness. The high metabolic rate causes much perspiration at the expense of Qi (vital energy) and body fluids. Certain foods and drinks can help cool the body and keep the symptoms of summer heat in check.

Cold Chrysanthemum Tea
This is an ideal drink for hot summer days. It helps to prevent sunstroke and clears Heat, benefits Qi, promotes body fluid secretion and is an excellent thirst quencher!

Ingredients:
60 - 80 White Chrysanthemum Flowers
3 teaspoon of Jasmine Green Tea
Rock sugar or honey
4 liters of water

Instructions:
Wash the chrysanthemum.
Put chrysanthemum and tea into a cooking pot.
Pour in 4 liters of water and bring it to boiling.
Reduce heat and continue to cook for 20 minutes.
Put in rock sugar or honey.
Remove pot from the heat and allow it to cool until it reaches room temperature.
Strain the tea and put into refrigerator
Serve the tea chilled and enjoy.
