Dr. Kim DiStefano · March 29, 2020 · 3 min read

Learn about two common kitchen herbs— ginger and cinnamon—and how they support lung health in Traditional Chinese Medicine.

🫚

Ginger (Sheng Jiang)

Warms the Lungs, expels cold, and helps release the exterior when you're catching a cold. Add fresh ginger to tea or soup.

🪵

Cinnamon (Gui Zhi)

Warms and unblocks the channels, promotes sweating to release pathogens, and supports circulation.

☕ Simple Recipe

Simmer fresh ginger slices and a cinnamon stick in water for 10 minutes. Add honey and sip throughout the day when you feel a cold coming on.
