Spring cleaning is not limited to one’s house, our bodies also need to be cleansed for the new season.
Toxins are everywhere: pesticides, household products, processed foods, tap water, airborne pollutants. Poor diet and lack of exercise can compound their effects on us, disturbing the delicate balances in our bodies and causing stomach problems, allergic reactions, lowered immunity, headaches, joint pain, mental fog, anxiety, and irritability, along with other chronic issues. Much more worrisome, though, is that research is linking environmental toxins to obesity, metabolic syndrome and diabetes, autoimmune disease, cancer, and much more.

American Ginseng is a wildly popular herb in Southeast Asia not only for its energy boosting properties, but also for its ability to replenish the yin. Because of this it is an effective way to cool down the body. (Think of yin as water, and yang as heat). Due to its warm humid climate, South East Asian cuisines use myriad spices to whet one’s appetite. On top of that, the vibrant Asian night life contribute to yin depletion. When one’s yin level is on the low side, one is prone to be frustrated easily, restless but unable to concentrate, and have poor skin. Hence, for those who love their spicy foods and play ‘til dawn, instead of reaching for your caffeine boost, try DAAN’s American Ginseng Tea to balance out the yin yang in your body. Contains 50 tea bags.
