After spending time under the strong summer sun, you might notice your skin feeling a bit rough, with freckles, dark spots, and blemishes looking darker than usual.

Combat Spring Fatigue: 2 Teas to Clear Your Mind

 Hello, everyone. This is Beatrice_JiEun from Wall Street Daily.

As the afternoon sun gets warmer, do you find yourself fighting heavy eyelids? In Korea, we call this "Chungonjeung" (Spring Fatigue). It is that drowsy, lethargic feeling that comes as our bodies adjust to the new season.

For investors and professionals, losing focus in the middle of the day can be costly. While coffee is a common fix, too much caffeine can lead to jitters.

Today, I want to introduce two refreshing teas that will naturally wake up your brain and clear the fog without the caffeine crash.

1. Peppermint Tea: The Natural Wake-Up Call

When your head feels heavy and you can't focus on the charts, Peppermint is your best friend.


  • Why it helps: The main ingredient, Menthol, acts like a cool breeze for your brain. It stimulates the hippocampus, the memory center of the brain, improving concentration and alertness instantly.

  • Bonus Benefit: It is also excellent for digestion. If you feel bloated after a heavy lunch, a cup of peppermint tea will settle your stomach and wake you up simultaneously.

  • Tasting Note: Cool, crisp, and intensely refreshing. It leaves a clean finish in your mouth, perfect for resetting your palate.

2. Chrysanthemum Tea (Gukhwa-cha): Clarity for Tired Eyes

If you spend hours staring at monitors analyzing data like I do, this golden tea is a must-have.


  • Why it helps: In traditional medicine, Chrysanthemum is known to "cool the liver and clear the eyes." It is remarkably effective for relieving eye strain and headaches caused by stress or lack of sleep. It lowers the heat in your upper body, helping you regain a cool, calm state of mind.

  • Tasting Note: It has a subtle, sweet floral scent that is not overpowering. Watching the small yellow flowers bloom again in the hot water is a therapy in itself.


Closing

A clear mind leads to clear decisions. When the spring drowsiness hits you this week, try swapping your third cup of coffee for the cooling sensation of Peppermint or the gentle aroma of Chrysanthemum.

Stay sharp and awake.

Sincerely, Beatrice_JiEun.

  Hello, everyone! It’s Beatrice. We’ve all been there—those weeks where the weekend passes in a blur of work and responsibilities, leaving us even more exhausted on Monday morning. As someone who has balanced a busy career and now manages multiple digital spaces, I know that "heavy" feeling all too well. When coffee just doesn't cut it anymore, I turn to these three nature-given boosters to reclaim my energy. 1. Omija Tea (Five-Flavor Berry): For Mental Burnout If your brain feels foggy after a weekend of heavy thinking, Omija is your best friend. The Benefit: Known as the "five-flavor berry," it is famous for protecting the liver and breaking down lactate (the fatigue-causing substance). It clears "brain fog" and sharpens your focus. My Tip: Enjoy it chilled for a refreshing zing that instantly awakens your senses. 2. Ginseng Tea: For Physical Exhaustion When you feel physically drained and your immunity is at its lowest, go for the "King of ...
