Dear friends new and old, Ervina and co-founder of YINA here. As many of you may know, one of the reasons I started YINA was my battle with triple-negative breast cancer.⁠ ⁠ When I started chemotherapy, I was constantly exhausted and had no appetite. I was given an aggressive protocol to match my aggressive tumor. The chemo was attacking every cell in my body, cancerous or not.⁠ ⁠ My Chinese medicine doctor at the time, Dr. Kong, gave me gentle auricular acupuncture treatments and prescribed topical herbal patches to tape over my belly button. Within a week, my appetite was back to normal and I began to feel my energy returning.⁠ ⁠ When I started YINA, I wanted to create products that went beyond skincare and improved your sense of wellbeing. I wanted to create products that uplift, calm, energize, and center you. Something that we all need in this day and age ❤️⁠ ⁠ In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we're donating 10% of this month's sales to Charlotte Maxwell — a Bay Area clinic that offers complementary integrative care to low-income women with cancer.
