Always cold?

Hands freezing, feet like ice, living in jumpers and still never warm?

This time of year it can feel impossible to warm up. And yes - layer up, live in hot baths (I definitely do!)…

But sometimes the issue isn’t external at all.

You might be COLD internally.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, we talk about your internal fire - the digestive and metabolic warmth that keeps your body nourished, energised, and WARM. If this fire is low, no amount of socks will fix it.

Instead of just adding ginger to hot water, you want to extract its warming properties properly.

Warming Ginger Decoction

Get a small pan and add:

- 1 pint of water

- 1 thumb of fresh ginger, sliced (skin removed)

- 2 tsp goji berries (optional)

- 2 slices astragalus (optional)

Bring to the boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer for 5-15 minutes.

The ginger is the key here - so if you don’t have the others, that’s perfectly fine.

Why these herbs?

- Ginger - warms the body, stimulates digestion, improves circulation, and helps rekindle that internal fire

- Goji berries - gently nourish the blood and yin, supporting energy and resilience

- Astragalus – strengthens Qi and immunity, helping the body adapt to cold and seasonal stress

Sip this slowly, especially in the morning or afternoon, and notice how warmth starts to build from the inside out.

Food is medicine - especially in winter.
