Per the acupucturist's directions, I have been adding warming herbs to my food. I tend to eat a lot of raw foods all times of the year. According to the Eastern medicine point of view, eating a lot of raw foods in the fall and winter months can strain your body. Such was my case, and apparently I am showing signs of a damp spleen. Yes, a damp spleen. I have been remedying it with cinnamon, curry, ginger, garlic, cayenne, and red peppers. Today, I balanced out my raw carrot/lemon/celery/beet juice by adding cayenne to my drink. It was really good and had the added benefit of adding a little kick to the drink!
I've included some pictures of the foods I have added warming herbs to:
