November’s Herbal Sweet: Black Sesame Tangyuan (glutinous rice dumplings with black sesame filling)
Lecture Theme: “Preventative Healing – Treating Before Illness Manifests” (未病治)

Our second session began with a warm and relaxed atmosphere, especially compared to the slightly tense first session.
New members joined the year-long course, and together we explored seasonal lifestyle practices and Kampo-based self-care methods to address imbalances before they become illness.

This month’s medicinal sweet was Black Sesame Tangyuan, featuring a black sesame filling wrapped in white rice dough—perfectly embodying the balance of yin and yang.
Black sesame is a staple ingredient in traditional Chinese sweets and is known for helping to prevent dryness of the skin and hair, while also nourishing the blood—making it an ideal choice for November.

Thank you so much to everyone who joined us!
