The universal truth ☯️🧘‍♂️

The ancient sages taught their followers to avoid abnormal climate factors, admonishing them at the right time.
Be calm and peaceful, and true Qi will flow. The spirit will be preserved within, and illness will never come.
Thus, the mind will be at ease and desires will be few, the heart will be at peace and fearless, the body will be physically tired and Qi will flow freely. Each will follow his or her desires and achieve what he or she desires.
Therefore, they enjoy food, wear whatever they want, and enjoy their customs. The high and the low do not envy each other, and their people are therefore called simple.
Consequently, lust cannot tire their eyes, immorality cannot confuse their hearts, and the foolish, the wise, the virtuous, and the wicked are not afraid of things. Thus, they are in harmony with the Tao. Therefore, some people can live to be a hundred twenty years old and remain active without decline, because their virtue is complete and unfazed.

Health Awareness ☯️🧘‍♂️

5 types of physical or emotional labor/overstrain that can cause certain damages.
1. Excessive visual activity harms the blood.
2. Excessive lying down harms the vital energy (qi).
3. Prolonged sitting harms the muscles.
4. Prolonged standing harms the bones.
5. Prolonged walking harms the tendons and ligaments.

The quote comes from the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon. It illustrates how different bodily functions are affected by specific types of overwork, which can lead to various health issues.

Humble stinging nettle

While the sky gets brighter, the weather is warmer, the flowers are blooming, spring is here. When we enjoy the beauty of this season, some may have an unpleasant allergic reaction to pollens.

However mother nature has offered the solution quietly--the stinging nettles. The nettles start having new shoots at this time of year, providing the natural remedy for hay fever, if you dare to give it a go!

Stinging nettles have been used for food, herbal remedies for hundreds of years. It's a very nutritious plant, contains a variety of vitamins, minerals, fatty acid, amino acids, and polyphenols, which reduce inflammation, hay fever symptoms, blood pressure and blood sugar levels ect. Ancient Egyptians used it to treat arthritis and lower back pain.

Simply pick the top of the nettles ( with gloves or without it), even the stinging on your fingers has an effect for healing. Wash it with a bit of salt in the water, then you can make tea with it, or nettle soup.

Happy spring 🌸🌱

Hay fever remedy: stinging nettles seeds tea

I have heard about nettle seeds were good for energy boost from other foragers. So I collected some last summer, put some in a small jar in the kitchen. But never feel like to drink it.

A couple weeks ago, I started having hay fever symptoms with blocked nose for the 1st time. Didn't sleep well and feeling tired. I saw the jar with nettle seeds in it, thought to give it a try. Wow! Not long after drinking a cup of tea, I felt so energetic! I am sure it's the stinging nettles seeds boosted me. And my nose felt better the next morning, double effects from one cup of tea. Now I looking forward to drink a cup of nettle seeds tea every morning. I certainly feel better in myself. 🍵💚

While the Hay Fever season starts, share my own experience to help someone to deal with the annoying allergic reaction.

Below is the quote from www.forager.org.uk

Nettle seeds are great for skin, hair, your brain, supporting the kidneys, strengthening the adrenals (best if you have hypothyroidism, an underactive thyroid). They are full of vitamin-c and essential fatty acids. As Monica Wilde explains; the ‘feel-good factor’ of nettle seeds is caused by neurotransmitters acetylcholine and serotonin and is often prescribed as a tonic for people who need a boost in life.

Whilst we wouldn’t suggest it; flogging yourself with nettles - urtification - was a common remedial action taken by Roman soldiers who originally brought nettles to the UK in order to combat illnesses brought on by the damp climate.

How to identify a superfood? Well, you could do worse than asking; have we ever fed it to horses to improve their overall health? In the case of nettle seeds, yes - in order for sellers in the 1800s to get more for their stock they fed them seeds for two weeks before markets to improve their coat and vitality (source: Henriette's herbs). Then take Sea buckthorn (genus: Hippophae); another superfood of sorts - whose Latin name derives from from hippo (horse), and phaos (shining). If it’s good enough for an animal of that size, then it will likely have no trouble fixing us up.

I went foraging today, it is a quiet winter season, and nature starts its rest period, waits for the next Spring.

I did notice that the wood ear/jelly ear mushrooms started growing on tree barks. The wood ear mushroom is very commonly consumed in my hometown region, it has many health benefits.
