On top of work stress, the hate and violence against Asians/Asian Americans has called for a greater need for me to take better care of myself. Since I was a kid, when I find myself feeling isolated or looked down upon because of my racial identity, I find comfort, recovery, empowerment in reconnecting with my Chinese roots.Recently turned to exploring traditional Chinese medicine (specifically herbs) for improving my health. It’s taken me THIS long to realize how much wisdom I’ve been ignoring, despite it being used all the time by my family. I’ve started making this chrysanthemum goji berry tea a few times a week to help my strained eyes and to “cool” my body. I feel noticeably less yeet hay/body feels less inflamed even immediately after drinking the tea.I know processing pain is part of the healing process. The second half is building up your strength to keep going. Let your identity fill you up with comfort, and let it protect you when external forces try to strip away your power. -- source link
