Adding to the supplements idea, collagen is very popular right now.
Also worth considering are American ginseng and products derived from them. American ginseng, cultivated in Wisconsin and Ontario, are "cooling" whereas Asian ginseng from China and Korea are "warming," so the two types are not interchangeable. American ginseng can be a very appreciated gift for those who use medicinal ingredients regularly in cooking as well as the daily health regimen. You can find them and their related products in Asian supermarkets and herbal stores. They almost always come in packages with an American flag motif.
