How to Choose — 2-Minute Self-Check

How to Choose

Two questions. That's your diagnosis — done by you, in 2 minutes.

You don't need to message us. Tick what sounds like you, and the right starting point picks itself.

QUESTION 1

Is dampness heavy on you?

The more you tick, the more "drain first" matters.

  • Body feels heavy, limbs like sandbags
  • Puffy — face in the morning, legs by evening
  • Stool sticky, sticks to the bowl
  • Tongue puffy with teeth-marks, white greasy coating (or cracks)
  • Head feels foggy, tired even after a full night's sleep
  • Skin oily, breakout- or eczema-prone
QUESTION 2

Do you run dry?

This one decides your first step.

  • Dry mouth, dry lips, dry skin — thirsty a lot
  • Warm palms & soles, heat waves in the afternoon
  • Night sweats
  • Restless sleep, easy waking
  • Dry, hard stools
  • Tongue red with little coating (or cracks)

Your body is a garden. Water before sun — never the other way.

Soaks, baths and moxa are warmth — the sun. If your soil is dry, sun only bakes it harder. So: ticked several "dry" signs → start with Fluids Tea until no dryness before any moxa. Didn't tick them → start moxa from day one. Either way, everyone drains dampness before building — the one rule that never changes.

Your Starting Point

Everyone starts at Step 1 · Open. Here's why that works for you.

Whatever you came in with, the first 3 months are the same: open the flow. Then your kit moves you forward automatically.

If you feel…

Heavy · puffy · foggy

Classic dampness. Your year does exactly what your body is asking for: drain first, in the right order.

→ Start: Open Kit (+ moxa if you're not dry)
If you feel…

Dry · warm · restless

Your soil is dry. Water it until no dryness — then the same journey works with your body instead of against it.

→ Start: Open Kit + Moxa + Fluids Tea
If you feel…

Tired · pale · always cold

You want to "build" right away — we get it. But building into a blocked river is money in the mud. Open first; the build comes in Step 3, and it finally holds.

→ Start: Open Kit — your tonics are already inside
Not sure even after the checks? Default to the Open Kit — Step 1 is designed to be the safe, universal start for every body type. Your monthly tongue photos will tell you how it's going.
One more choice: bath or foot soak. Same formula, same 3-month rhythm. If you have high blood pressure, cancer, are pregnant, or have epilepsy (or severe heart disease, stroke history, asthma, bleeding disorders, open wounds), choose the foot-soak version — never a full-body bath. Foot soaking is the safe choice for everyone.
