Tonify Yang

Yang is our internal sun. It provides us with our Yang energy. Ginger is like the match to ignite the furnace of our body. Picture the digestive system like the kitchen of the home that is our body. The Spleen and Stomach are our centre, our grounding Earth, where all pathways and channels connect to get what they need to function. Ginger is perhaps the most beloved food of the Spleen system, it has all the properties which complement the Earth element. It is grown in the soil, yellow in colour and has the essential warming essence which is crucial in powering the digestion. Ginger increases circulation so it helps cold hands and feet and even hair loss.
