yin yang water
Not really an herb mix, but it’s something my Chinese mom does and she told me about it. It’s a way to clean your energy centers. By combining yin and yang, dark and light, cold and warm, negative and positive, etc…it is also supposed to stimulate circulation and rejuvenate the system. Also good for digestion (will make you poop) and clear skin. It’s very simple. This is all it is:
Boil water and fill a mug/cup/glass about 2/3 with the hot water. Fill the rest with cold water, then chug the whole thing immediately before the hot and cold waters mix
I just copied this explanation from someone else who wrote about it, and was also taught by her own Asian (Korean) mom. Explains better than I can
"Hot water goes up. Cold water is heavier than hot water, so it wants to sink to the bottom of the cup. Thus we have a constant circulation within the water – and when we drink it, it creates the very same phenomena within our bodies. This circulation process is helpful for distributing the heat inside our bodies. It keeps our heads cool and clear, while heating up our lower body where all our other organs are. It is an excellent remedy for indigestion, bloating, constipation AND diarrhea (yes, both of them), since the Yin Yang water creates activity within our intestines and makes their work easier. Yin Yang water is good at any time of the day.
The women in my Asian family always tell me, “Never drink cold water! You need to keep your belly warm!” The warmth keeps the inside your tummy very active, whereas cold water keeps it in a stagnant state. Warm water is therefore better at breaking down the fat inside your intestines, which is a great plus when it comes to weight loss. And for girls, a warm tummy means stronger female organs and a healthier cycle.
It’s best to drink at the spot while the hot-cold circulation is the most active. If you naturally have a lot of heat in your body (need to stick those feet out of the covers when you sleep? enjoying the air conditioning too much? You probably have a lot of heat in your system), change up the hot-cold water proportions so that you fill up about 1/3 of the cup with boiling water and fill the rest with cold water.
If you have a cold body like me (are your hands and feet always cold? Can’t live without gloves in the winter?), you need more heat in your system. Slightly increase the amount of hot water"
