Take Tonics in This Winter, Fight against A Tiger in Next Spring

An old Chinese saying goes, "take a tonic in this winter, fight against a tiger in next spring". While fighting a tiger might be an exaggeration of the health benefits. What it means is that the winter is a time to reserve energy, and health benefits will follow later on. Winter tonics are based on the idea that people should live in harmony with the seasons.

According to TCM, autumn and winter are the regenerative time for our body, they are the most "yin" seasons, characterized by a cold, dark, slow, inward energy, which makes it a good time for meditation. 

Gaofang, or medicinal gel, also known as "gaoji" or electuary, is one of the eight forms of traditional Chinese oral herbal medicine, which includes pellets, loose form, paste, powder, liquor, syrup, liquid decoction, and ingot-shaped tablets, and is very nourishing for the bodies' overall health. It is composed of about 20 kinds of ingredients and can greatly nourish our body.
