Fuel for the Never-Ending Week: My Top 3 Teas for Burnout Recovery

Image
  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.

Spring Shield: 3 Teas to Protect Your Throat from Fine Dust

Image
Hello, everyone. This is Beatrice_JiEun. Can you believe it is already March?  Here, the air is starting to feel warmer, signaling the arrival of spring. However, along with the blooming flowers come unwelcome guests : Yellow Dust (Asian Dust) and Fine Dust. I have shared stories about 23 different types of tea on this blog so far, but today’s selection is special.

"Secrets from Donguibogam: Korean Herbal Teas for Suppressing Melanin and Achieving Flawless, Translucent Skin"

Image
Hello, I am Beatrice . Today, I would like to introduce traditional Korean herbal teas that are exceptional for skin health. You have a precise understanding of why blemishes, freckles, and age spots appear! Factors like UV rays, aging, and hormonal changes ultimately lead to the accumulation of 'free radicals' and 'waste products (stagnant blood)' within the skin, which triggers the overproduction of melanin. In Oriental medicine (such as the Donguibogam ), while the skin's surface is important, it is believed that a dull complexion and blemishes arise when the internal balance of the five viscera and six entrails is disrupted, and blood circulation is poor. Here are five traditional Korean herbal teas that help purify your skin from the inside out and assist in alleviating pigmentation. 1. Purifying Internal "Dull Energy" – Job’s Tears Tea (Uimum-cha / Coix Seed Tea) In Oriental medicine, Job’s Tears (Yulmu) is known as 'Uimum-in (薏苡仁)' and i...
