Desiree de Lunae, L.Ac.
I am a healer, author and licensed acupuncturist with more than two decades of experience in Chinese Medicine and Elemental Medicine. I help empaths and highly sensitive people work with their bodies and their emotions rather than against them.
Food is medicine in this tradition, and the kitchen is the easiest place to start. A cup of the right tea at the right time of year does more than you would think.
Winter Asks Something
Different Of You
In Chinese Medicine, winter belongs to the Water Element. It is the season of stillness, storage and deep rest — the time when the body wants to conserve rather than spend. Push against that and you feel it: depleted, run down, catching whatever is going around.
This tea is built for that. Sweet, sour and spicy flavors working together to warm you, hold your fluids in, and keep your defenses strong through the coldest part of the year.
My soul feels alive for the first time in 3 decades. Desiree, her knowledge, her energy and her sincere love of helping people is a true blessing. I truly do not have enough words to say THANK YOU! Desiree is the real deal. My gratitude is beyond words.Crystal
