Keeping Warm: Countering the Cold with Warming Herbs

There's something about winter that makes us want to bundle up and get warm. And while many of us do this with sweaters, a beanie, and thick wool socks, there's another critical way we stay warm: Through the herbs and food we eat.

That's why it's important to turn to warming herbs and spices that heat us up from the inside out.
