Zongzi feasts, family reunions, and epic boat races – the Dragon Boat Festival is a vibe 🎏. But let’s be real: post-celebration bloat and travel fatigue can hit like a tidal wave. This year, CGTN host Julian Waghann ditched the post-holiday crash by diving into Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) – and the results? *Chef’s kiss* 👌.
Yang Energy 101: TCM’s Summer Survival Guide
According to 2,000-year-old TCM wisdom, summer is all about balancing yang (active energy) and yin (cooling energy). Think of it as nature’s original biohack 🌞❄️. Julian swapped sugar-laden snacks for herbal teas and acupressure sessions, proving you don’t need a time machine to tap into ancient rituals.
From Zongzi Comas to Holistic Harmony
"TCM isn’t just about healing – it’s about preventing burnout before it starts," Julian shared. His tips? Sip chrysanthemum tea for digestion, snack on hydrating watermelon (a TCM-approved summer superfood 🍉), and try midday meditation to recharge. Who needs energy drinks when you’ve got millennia of wisdom?
