How Supplement Powders and Adaptogen Drinks Sell You on Health - Eater

"I met Erin Masako Wilkins at a now-shuttered San Francisco herb shop called Scarlet Sage. She was teaching a class about moxibustion, the therapeutic East Asian practice of burning mugwort leaves over acupressure points. Wilkins is an acupuncturist and herbalist whose book Asian American Herbalism, published this past October, draws from her Japanese heritage, education in Traditional Chinese Medicine, and clinical practice in Sonoma County, California. Reading the book was a revelation: Asian American Herbalism gave context, provided recipes, shared history. It spoke to an ancestral knowledge I’d been raised with but had been lost to me, personally." - Rachel Khong
