Revitalize and boost your skin's natural glow with this perfect summer skin tonic recipe.

If you’re looking to enhance your skin’s natural glow and radiance this summer, this summer skin tonic will do the trick (and it’s super easy to make).

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), our Qi is our life force, similar to how our blood circulates throughout our body. Healthy blood flow ensures that everything is functioning harmoniously. If Qi becomes stagnant, it can create blockages. Using “warm” energetic foods increases blood flow and helps reduce inflammation.

Cherry and ginger are both warm foods that clear cold dampness, while rosemary is known specifically for enhancing blood circulation and aiding digestion. Green tea, with its bitter flavour, acts as an astringent helping to clear dampness, much like cranberries do.
