About this Event
Blood and Yin in TCM
Join us for this in-person event at the Luminae space in Berkeley, California!
According to traditional Chinese medicine, the health of your Blood and Yin informs mental health, hormones, sleep, aging, hydration, and youthful vitality. Erin Masako will lead an in-depth exploration of how to understand the balance of Blood and Yin in your own body and mind. And we'll draw upon TCM and kitchen herbalism to deepen our understanding of how to use this knowledge at home and in a healing practice. There will be a tea tasting of a nourishing decoction and a discussion on herbalism and food as medicine.
This class will include:
- Introduction to TCM concept, including Blood and Yin.
- How to recognize Blood and Yin imbalances in your body and mind.
- Top 10 herbs - including mushrooms, seaweeds, berries, he shou wu, longan fruit, dang gui and jujube dates.
- Tea tasting of a nourishing Blood and Yin decotion.
- Qigong meditation.
