The snow has melted, the sun is shining (and unfortunately here in Canada, there's been more rain than I would like), and I don't know about you, but I am SO ready for warmer weather, spring cleaning, fresh air and nature. In Traditional Chinese Medicine the spring and fall months are ideal times to cleanse [...]
Problem - you're feeling fat, frumpy and fatigued. And guess what? You're not the only one.
