Putting yourself in your own heart — that is the best beginning.
Astragalus Root is a familiar herb in traditional Chinese medicine, and it often appears in everyday soups as well.
Picture someone who always prepares dinner for the whole family.
She remembers what her husband won't eat, what the children love, what the elders need — yet often forgets what she herself likes to eat.
One day, her family asked: "What would you like to eat today?"
She paused — she realized she had not properly answered that question in a very long time.
So she decided to cook a dish she herself loved today.
Caring for others is beautiful, but it should never come at the price of forgetting yourself.
Today, treat yourself as the main character of your own life — you don't always have to stand in a supporting role.
This series takes herbal plant culture, everyday imagery, and wordplay as inspiration for quiet companionship and self-reflection. It does not constitute Traditional Chinese Medicine diagnosis, medication advice, or guidance for the treatment of disease.
