Trees across Hong Kong and mainland China’s south are bursting with fragrant, golf-ball-sized red fruit, which can mean only one thing – lychee season is here.
In TCM, lychees are classified as “warm” or “heaty” – a concept known as yit hei (“hot air” – also written yeet hay) in Cantonese that describes a build-up of heat in the body.
