We have focused a lot on Qi herbs and their importance during Autumn, however it's equally as important to ensure the Lungs and body overall are hydrated, lubricated and nourished through the cooler months, preventing dryness and Wind penetrating the body.
Nourishing the Lungs in turn nourishes the skin, as the moistening and lubricating effects of Tremella support a smooth, soft, radiant complexion. This gelatinous, plump and soft mushroom provides this moistness and softness to the skin, via the lubrication it brings to the fascia (deep tissue) and connective tissue.
Tremella also provides nourishment to the Lungs as an immunoprotective Lung tonic, tonifying Lung Yin which can help soothe and provide relief of upper respiratory tract inflammation, especially to an excessively dry cough.
