Cold low belly? Warm cinnamon ginger tea
Cinnamon ginger tea for cold-womb patterns
Warming cinnamon, ginger, and red-date tea for cold-womb patterns. Kitchen recipe with TCM framing, not a fertility cure.
Read biteIn brief
Simmer 400 g peeled lotus root, 200 g Chinese yam, 250 g lean pork, and one or two slices of ginger in 6 to 8 cups of water until tender. Season with salt and pepper. The pot supports Spleen digestion when bloating and fatigue sit before the period. It is kitchen food therapy, not a PMS medicine.

FAQs
Quick questions
Can I use pork ribs instead of lean pork?
Yes. Lean pork keeps the pot lighter. Ribs make a richer broth. Keep the same lotus root and Chinese yam amounts.
Is this the same as lotus leaf Chinese barley soup?
No. That pot uses dried lotus leaf with Chinese barley for damp-heat patterns. This pot uses lotus root rhizome with Chinese yam and pork for milder Spleen support.
