Stay Cool This Summer!

 
The days are getting longer and warmer, school's out for the summer and we find ourselves outside more enjoying all that nature has to offer.

From a Chinese medical perspective, we have already entered the Summer season. It is recommended to enjoy cool foods and drinks, avoid over-working and over-exercising, and nourish the Yin aspects of our bodies.

Yin (as opposed to Yang) represents the moistening and nourishing aspects of our body such as blood and body fluids. Over time and with age, our Yin reserves become depleted. This is especially true of those who over-work to the point of exhaustion.

Keep reading on to learn more about Yin nourishing herbs and formulas!

Featured Products

American Ginseng

Known as one of the best Yin-nourishing tonics, American Ginseng is the perfect Ginseng for those living in tropical areas like Hawaii.
It is cooling, Qi-tonifying, and non-stimulating. We especially recommend it if you tend to feel over-heated or deal with chronic stress that leads to burn-out.

Chrysanthemum Flowers


These beautiful flowers are cooling and slightly diaphoretic, meaning that they help to open the sweat pores and release Heat. In China, it is common to drink Chrysanthemum Flower tea as a way to cool down during the summer.

Goji Berries

These juicy, plump, red berries are wonderful for our Blood. Since Blood is considered a Yin constituent, and Yin is cooling and moistening in nature, then Goji berries are nourishing to the Yin aspects of our bodies, nourishing our Blood, eyes, Liver, and Heart.

Featured Chinese Formula
Liu Wei Di Huang Wan, or Six Flavor Teapills, is a classic Chinese formula for Liver/Kidney Yin deficiency. What does that mean? As mentioned above, Yin is the moistening and nourishing aspects of our body such as blood and body fluids. Over time and with age, our Yin reserves become depleted. This is especially true of those who over-work to the point of exhaustion.According to Mayway herbs, this formula is helpful in Liver and Kidney Yin deficiency presenting with mild night perspiration, a sense of heat in the soles and palms, afternoon flushing/hot flashes, dry mouth and throat, weakness or soreness of the low back, lightheadedness, mild tinnitus, chronic dry sore throat, fatigue, and spermatorrhea. More advanced cases of Liver and Kidney Yin deficiency symptoms may manifest as wasting and thirsting disorder with excessive urination.Stay cool and nourish your Yin with Chinese herbs💧Disclaimer: This information is for educational purposes only.

This month we'd like to feature
Amber Lee Dambacher!
Growing up, Amber Lee was exposed to allopathic and Western medicine from a young age but was always interested in Holistic and natural remedies with a deeper desire to understand them.

For 9 years, Amber Lee worked as a pharmacy tech and assistant in Western medicine. Seeing people in pain with no true solutions spurred her to move into more holistic practices. A good friend, a pharmacist, inspired her to explore holistic medicine and natural healing.

Amber Lee started researching more about natural healing, and took an energy medicine course receiving a certificate with Eden Energy medicine.

From that coursework, she found herself fascinated with Chinese medicine and energy healing. Amber Lee decided to work in alternative health centers focusing on chiropractic, massage, and acupuncture, which inspired her go to massage school in 2018. She also completed a holistic health practitioner program in San Diego, involving massage therapy, Reiki, craniosacral therapy, and vibrational healing). She completed the program in 2019 before moving to Maui in 2020 just before the pandemic. On island, Amber Lee began offering craniosacral work in private practice and joined the Dragon’s Den team in May of 2020. She puts her healing energy to use by packaging all of the amazing Dragon's Den products we offer as well as offering her herbal and holistic health expertise to customers.

Amber Lee currently offers craniosacral sessions in a beautiful healing space above the Dragon’s Den available by appointment. You can reach her at 808-866-9972 and at holisticharmonymaui@proton.me.
