You may not believe this but plant medicine has its own benefits when it comes to keeping our energy stable, improve emotional function, prepare our energy reserves, and even enhance our spiritual growth. In ancient Asian Medicine, the heart of our energy is referred to as Jing or “essence”. It is said that the essence of our energy is found in our kidneys. Our Jing is actually linked to longevity, adaptability, creativity, and vitality just to name a few. But with the constant stress that we are putting to our body, poor diet, and exposure to harmful substances, our energy levels can be depleted. Fortunately, there are steps that can be taken to revive your Jing like the ones below.

Walnut

It is believed that walnuts are good for nourishing your Jing by warming the kidneys. When eaten, walnuts can help make your body stronger, improve your brain as well as your nervous system, and even make you sleep better too. Walnuts are often used in many traditional medicines in Asia because of its anti-inflammatory properties that can reduce swelling and pain in the joints. Eating walnuts can also improve your skin’s quality in the long run.

Eggs

Jing is also related to reproduction so it is not surprising to find that eggs are considered as good foods that you can add to your home pharmacy to build up your depleted energy levels. It is important that you look for high quality eggs because they are far more potent compared to others. Eggs that come from chickens that were factory farmed may not contain the nutrients that you need to revitalize your energy.

Maca

The maca root, which is common in many Andean cultures, has been found to tone and strengthen the Jing. Consuming maca has been found to regulate one’s hormones, improve sexual function, and boost fertility even. It can also combat fatigue, improve cognitive function, and even boost your bone’s density. If you are suffering from hormonal imbalance, adding this to your diet is highly recommended.

Seaweeds

Another food that you should include in your home pharmacy to enhance your Jing is seaweed. This is because they contain plenty of vitamins and minerals that are needed by your body to become stronger and healthier.

Apple

Apples are good for your Jing because they have quercetin which is a known anti-inflammatory. Eating apples can help detoxify your body so that it will flush out any toxins or cells that are no longer functioning from your body so that healthier cells will be able to form once more. And because it is rich in fiber, your belly will feel fuller for hours so you are less likely to eat more than usual. 

These are just a few examples of foods and herbs that you can take advantage of if you want to revitalize your energy levels. By adding this to your home pharmacy, you will see a significant improvement to your overall health in no time.
