Can I drink water infused with Astragalus, Lycium barbarum (goji berries), and red dates every day?

Under normal circumstances, the water infused with Astragalus, Lycium barbarum (goji berries), and red dates can be consumed long-term; however, it is not suitable for individuals with damp-heat constitution or excessive internal heat symptoms. Detailed explanations are as follows:

Astragalus invigorates qi and strengthens the defensive system, goji berries nourish yin and improve vision, while red dates fortify the spleen and nourish blood. Together, they are suitable for individuals with deficiency of both qi and blood. Long-term consumption may help improve physical constitution and enhance disease resistance for individuals experiencing chronic fatigue, pale complexion, low immunity, or recovery after surgery, although daily intake should be controlled.

This infusion may exacerbate symptoms in individuals with internal damp-heat or excessive internal heat. Those experiencing symptoms such as dry mouth and throat, constipation, skin breakouts, or irritability with insomnia should avoid it, as the nourishing ingredients might intensify internal heat and worsen symptoms. Such individuals should discontinue use.

The Astragalus, Lycium barbarum, and red date infusion may contain a certain amount of natural sugars; therefore, diabetic patients should use it cautiously or under the guidance of a physician. Individuals with excess syndromes or heat syndromes should also use this herbal infusion with caution.
