TANGERINE PEEL TEA
Balancing the function of the Spleen and Stomach, tangerine peel, also called Mandarin peel, is helpful for balancing Qi, or vital energy. Tangerine peel’s warm essence helps to clear phlegm and eliminate dampness in the Stomach and upper abdominal area. When you have a cold, take a hot bath, drink this tea, and then go to bed, wrapping yourself up in a warm blanket to sweat the cold out. For a scratchy throat, add a little peppermint to the mixture.
