My #1 Soup for female health → period, skin, energy!

I struggled with everything–irregular periods, cramps, acne & dehydrated skin, fatigue... you name it! 🫠 I never knew this could all be soothed with one soup–herbal chicken soup 🍲 After my TCM doctor learned about all my symptoms, the first thing she asked me to start making was chicken soup (& to start eating breakfasts again 😂). She said chicken soup is the perfect constitution to HEAL a female body, which tends to run more "yin" or "cool". We're constantly expending energy, we're losing blood every month, and all of this needs to be supported with warming foods. Chicken is a "warm"protein, not too "hot" like beef, and so it's the PERFECT everyday soup for us gals. If you want to be healed from the inside out, follow along this easy recipe!! It truly works, and my body feels so different after adding this to my weekly meals 🥰 Disclaimer: This is not medical advice, I'm only sharing my personal experiences and facts that I've learned in my own health journey.
