Hello, this is Beatrice.  Today, we’re going to look into teas that are great for relieving constipation. In Oriental medicine, the cause of constipation isn't seen simply as a "lack of fiber."

Today, I’m recommending the "Best 3 Oriental Teas for Beating Constipation" —those that are generally helpful, have minimal side effects, and are perfect for consistent home consumption. 1.

"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...

Drinkable Sunscreen: The Antioxidant Tea That Fights Melanin

Image
Hello, this is Beatrice_JiEun . Pigmentation issues such as melasma, freckles, blemishes, and age spots are caused by the excessive production of melanin due to UV exposure, hormonal changes, and aging. By supplying your skin with antioxidants and brightening components from within through the tea you drink every day, you can significantly help fade existing spots and prevent new pigmentation from forming. However, before we begin, it is important to note that drinking tea is not a "medicine" or a "laser treatment." Realistically, it is difficult to completely "erase" deeply rooted age spots with tea alone. Nevertheless, with consistent consumption, you can expect a definite supplementary effect, as your skin tone becomes clearer and the pigmentation begins to fade. Introducing the BEST 5 Teas for Skin Brightening and Antioxidants 1. The Queen of Vitamin C, "Rosehip Tea" Vitamin C is undoubtedly the most effective ingredient for directly managin...
