During Fall, moisten and nourish with Walnuts!

Walnuts! 👏🏼 
I’m an acupuncturist and herbalist so of course I also LOVE medicinal herbs and see wonderful healing with them every day. 🌱 And I also love whole foods! 
There’s nothing better than getting the nutrients and healing medicine you need from whole foods. 💥
In their natural state whole foods are more balanced, more biologically active and they are less processed. 🌼 The more you process foods or herbs, the more the benefits diminish. 👎🏼 
(A post about processed food research to come soon.)

🌰 Walnuts (Hu Tao Ren in Traditional Chinese Medicine) have great health benefits, especially in the Fall when “dryness” is an issue.

📣 Benefits:  
💩 💩  -Moisten the intestines and address Constipation from dryness.
👐 👐  -Moisten the lungs and help the kidneys grasp the lung qi. 
🔥 🔥  -Reduce inflammation.
😷 😷  -Help relieve chronic cough & wheezing (best for white sputum not yellow).
🔬  -Nourish the Kidney-adrenals, brain and enrich sperm.
💥  -Warming and sweet in nature.

💡And here’s something you probably didn’t know: Walnuts are often combined in herbal formulas for premature graying & hair growth with herbs like He Shou Wu (Radix Polygoni Multiflori), Nu Zhen Zi (Fructus Ligustri Lucidi), and Dang Gui (Radicis Angelicae Sinensis). See my herbal supplement “Luscious Hair” on my website store for more info on herbs for healthy hair growth and color. 💆🏻💆🏼‍♂️
