Winter Solstice and Immune Support - RAW Forest Foods

Winter Solstice and Immune Support

The 21st of December (11:19pm EST to be exact) brings us the Winter Solstice. The shortest day of the year. And while the Winter Solstice marks the return of longer days ahead—the sun reaching higher and higher into the sky—it also marks the true beginning of winter. It is, after all, still Fall, and as I write this right now, the temperature is reading 8 degree Fahrenheit. We’re in the middle of it.

The seasonal change offers a point of reflection on seasonal changes—around and within us. We can feel our energy ebb, both physically and mentally, as the cold sets in, and we can feel our energy flow as the world begins to thaw. I love living somewhere where I can experience the raw seasons. Winter is not a time to push ourselves—it is a time of rest. Spring arrives soon enough. That rampant growth is just around the corner.

A study into Classical Chinese Medicine offers the 5 Phases (5 Element) model.

Within this, each season, or phase, engenders a certain set characteristics, and these characteristics offer a lens of reflection with which we can use to better understand the seasons, or phases, within ourselves. These are, ultimately, tools of introspection and reflection—not prescriptions.

Upgraded Tongkat Ali Extract Capsules Much More Than "The Original Indonesian Aphrodisiac" Over the years—through our website and through our Amazon store—our   Tongkat Ali Extract Capsules  are consistently one of our top selling products. And for good reason: Not only is Tongkat Ali an outstanding pro-androgenic herb, but the Tongkat Ali that goes into our products (either our bulk powder pouches or our extract capsules) is always of the highest quality and integrity. We've long been proponents of using a broad, full spectrum Tongkat Ali Extract. This is because Tongkat Ali is much more than "The Original Indonesian Aphrodisiac." There are roughly 65 identified therapeutic compounds present in Tongkat Ali, not just the single isolate of Eurycomanone, that compound which is understood to responsible for Tongkat Ali's pro-androgenic, testosterone promoting properties. Focusing solely on whether or not Tongkat Ali can increase testosterone and focusing solely
