   Jade rolling is an ancient beauty technique that uses a specialized tool (the jade roller) to massage the face. Using a jade roller regularly can help reduce puffiness, smooth fine lines, prevent wrinkles, and improve the texture and tone of the skin. How? Moving the jade roller along the face encourages healthy circulation of blood and lymph through the skin. It helps to filter out toxins, relax the facial muscles, and slow the aging process. Jade rolling can also help relieve tension, stress, and headaches!
   
   This jade roller works twice as hard with pointed edges on one side that stimulate key acupoints on the face. Pair it with the silicone cupping set for a DIY beauty lover’s dream gift!

   The Five Seasons TCM Better Than Coffee Culinary TCM Tonic Bag is the perfect gift for any coffee lover who also wants to live healthier in the new year. These tonic bags are delicious blends of Chinese herbs that five the same perky energy that a cup of joe does, but without the jitters, anxiety, or inflammation. In fact, drinking these tonic bags every morning (or instead of the afternoon cappuccino) will improve your focus, lift your mood, and improve your overall wellness.
   
   Plus, they work wonders for the skin! Coffee tends to be drying and inflammatory, which can lead to more breakouts, redness, and dry patches. Better Than Coffee tonic bags, however, are nourishing and cleansing to the skin. Say good morning to healthy, glowing skin!
