Health Benefits of Guilinggao
Guilinggao has effects of nourishing yin, moisturizing dryness, clearing heat, eliminating damp-heat, cooling blood, and detoxifying. It can be used to alleviate symptoms such as deficiency-related irritability, mouth ulcers, excessive vaginal discharge, red or white skin rashes, itching, sores, hand eczema, skin dermatitis, and acne. When combined with Poria (Fuling) and heat-clearing, detoxifying herbs like dandelion and honeysuckle, it enhances heat-clearing and yin-nourishing effects, promoting bowel movement and improving skin health.

Guilinggao can promote blood circulation and is considered a cooling, detoxifying food. Generally, it is best consumed during summer, as it can help relieve discomfort caused by hot weather, such as irritability, sore throat, short urination, skin boils, prickly heat, and rashes. Although Guilinggao has high medicinal value, long-term consumption is not suitable for everyone. For example, women should avoid it during menstruation, pregnant women should not consume it, and individuals with weak constitutions should not eat it frequently, to prevent worsening of symptoms or adverse reactions such as abdominal pain and diarrhea in those who are physically weak.

When eating Guilinggao, it can also be combined with ingredients such as silver ear fungus, lotus seeds, apples, and others, which increases the nutritional intake needed by the body and improves the taste of Guilinggao.
