Introduction
In general, the effects of drinking water infused with Dang Gui (Angelica sinensis) and Huang Qi (Astragalus) include strengthening the defensive Qi to stop sweating, moistening the intestines to relieve constipation, regulating menstruation and alleviating pain, promoting wound healing, and reducing fatigue. Huang Qi has the function of enhancing the body's defensive Qi and consolidating the exterior.

This combination is suitable for conditions such as night sweats and spontaneous sweating caused by spleen-stomach deficiency-cold or dual deficiency of Qi and blood.

Generally, the effects of drinking water infused with Angelica sinensis (Dang Gui) and Astragalus (Huang Qi) include strengthening the body's defenses to stop excessive sweating, moisturizing the intestines to relieve constipation, regulating menstruation and relieving pain, promoting wound healing, and resisting fatigue. Detailed explanations are as follows:

1. Strengthening the Body's Defenses and Reducing Sweating

Astragalus has the function of reinforcing the protective qi of the body. Combined with Angelica sinensis for infusion, it can help stop sweating by strengthening the body's surface defenses. This is suitable for conditions such as night sweats or spontaneous sweating caused by spleen-stomach deficiency-cold or deficiency of both qi and blood.

2. Moisturizing the Intestines and Relieving Constipation

Angelica sinensis has the effect of moistening the intestines and promoting bowel movements, as well as activating blood circulation and nourishing blood. Drinking water infused with Angelica sinensis and Astragalus can effectively moisten hardened stool, alleviate constipation, and improve symptoms such as dry intestines and difficult defecation.

3. Regulating Menstruation and Relieving Pain

Combined infusion of Angelica sinensis and Astragalus can help regulate conditions such as pallor due to blood deficiency, irregular menstruation, amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, and assist in relieving symptoms including menstrual pain, amenorrhea, lower abdominal pain, and light menstrual flow.

4. Promoting Wound Healing

Both Angelica sinensis and Astragalus have the ability to promote tissue repair and can serve as an adjunct in healing skin injuries or post-surgical recovery. Drinking water infused with these herbs can accelerate wound healing and reduce the risk of infection.

5. Anti-Fatigue

The active ingredients in Astragalus can enhance the body's energy metabolism, while Angelica sinensis improves blood circulation. Drinking water infused with both herbs can increase physical stamina and effectively relieve fatigue after work or physical activity.
