Introduction
Chrysanthemum morifolium can clear liver heat, improve vision, and reduce eye opacity. Cassia seeds (Semen Cassiae) enter the liver and large intestine meridians and are effective for clearing liver heat and improving vision. Goji berries (Lycium barbarum) nourish the yin of the liver and kidneys. Since the liver manifests in the eyes, sufficient liver yin helps nourish and protect vision. When used together, these three ingredients effectively clear liver fire and replenish liver yin. They provide significant relief for symptoms such as dry eyes, redness, swelling, and blurred vision, thereby helping to protect eyesight.
Chrysanthemum flower buds, goji berries, and cassia seeds are all both medicinal and edible. Drinking a mixture of these three generally offers effects such as clearing liver heat and improving vision, clearing heat and detoxifying, nourishing the liver and kidneys, moistening the intestines to relieve constipation, and enhancing immunity.
1. Clear Liver Heat and Improve Vision
Chrysanthemum flower buds can clear liver heat, relieve fire symptoms, improve vision, and reduce eye discomfort such as corneal opacity. Cassia seeds enter the liver and large intestine meridians and have effects of clearing liver heat and improving vision. Goji berries nourish the yin of the liver and kidneys. The liver opens into the eyes, and sufficient liver yin helps nourish the eyes. Together, these three ingredients effectively clear liver heat, supplement liver yin, and help relieve symptoms such as dry, red, swollen eyes and blurred vision, thus protecting eyesight.
2. Clear Heat and Detoxify
Chrysanthemum flower buds have a strong effect in clearing internal heat and detoxifying, helping to remove heat toxins from the body and relieve symptoms such as sore throat and abscesses. Cassia seeds also have some heat-clearing properties. Drinking water infused with these three ingredients can help eliminate internal heat toxins to a certain extent, reduce inflammatory responses, and alleviate physical discomfort caused by excessive internal heat.
3. Nourish the Liver and Kidneys
Goji berries are excellent for nourishing the liver and kidneys, nourishing kidney yin, enriching essence, and improving vision, which helps alleviate yin deficiency of the liver and kidneys. Although chrysanthemum flower buds and cassia seeds mainly function to clear heat, when combined with goji berries, they not only clear heat but also help prevent excessive heat-clearing from damaging the yin of the liver and kidneys. This combination provides nourishing and balancing effects, helping maintain yin-yang balance and enhancing the functions of the liver and kidneys.
4. Moisturize the Intestines and Relieve Constipation
Cassia seeds help moisturize the intestines and relieve constipation by promoting intestinal peristalsis, increasing intestinal moisture, and softening stools, thereby alleviating constipation. Chrysanthemum flower buds and goji berries can also help regulate body fluid metabolism to a certain extent, assisting cassia seeds in their intestinal moisturizing and constipation-relieving effects. This combination can improve symptoms such as dry intestines, constipation, and difficult defecation, maintaining normal intestinal function.
5. Enhance Immunity
Goji berries contain polysaccharides, amino acids, and trace elements that can enhance immune function and improve the body's resistance. While chrysanthemum flower buds and cassia seeds are not primarily known for boosting immunity, their heat-clearing and detoxifying effects help purify the internal environment and indirectly support the normal functioning of the immune system.
It is recommended to drink chrysanthemum flower buds, goji berries, and cassia seeds infusion in moderation, avoiding excessive consumption. In daily diets, maintaining a balanced dietary structure and diverse food intake is also recommended to help maintain overall health.
