For Nami:DANDELIONThe reason I have chosen the Dandelion for myself is that the Dandelion has the cold and moist nature, which balances the Choleric Hot and Dry nature.

APPLEThe Apple is the other herb I have chosen for myself to balance my dominant temperament, Choleric. It is popular fruit and easy to be taken as daily nutrition.

The Apple is used to stimulate the liver function which has always been my week organ.
