Major Snow
2024/12/06Grab and wear a warm scarf for the arrival of #Majorsnow, the 20th of the 24 traditional Chinese solar terms. Cold winds whisper through branches, hinting at the serenity of winter's embrace. Snow-covered landscapes and delicate, shiny rimes not only turn the world into a wonderland but also bring the promise of a good harvest in the coming year.
Health tips from our Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) physician:
Drink ginger tea: Ginger is excellent at warming the body and dispelling cold. In TCM practices, people often add longan or jujube to ginger when making tea, enhancing both its flavor and health benefits.
A warm foot bath at night: A warm foot bath can help improve circulation and promote relaxation. Soak your feet in hot water (38-43℃) for 10-20 minutes every day, making sure the water covers your ankles.
Maintain indoor ventilation and humidity: Ensure good airflow in your home and keep humidity levels balanced. Regular ventilation and using a humidifier help reduce the risk of respiratory illnesses commonly seen in this season.
