Drinking Shengmai Drink can benefit qi and nourish yin, improve fatigue due to qi deficiency, relieve damage from summer heat and fluid loss, assist in regulating blood pressure, and help alleviate palpitations and insomnia. It is suitable for daily conditioning in individuals with deficiency of both qi and yin, but should be used according to individual symptoms. If symptoms such as internal heat (fire), abdominal bloating, or no improvement occur after consumption, medical advice should be sought promptly.

1. Benefit Qi and Nourish Yin: Shengmai Drink contains ginseng, dwarf lilyturf root (Ophiopogon), and schisandra berries. Ginseng strengthens qi, dwarf lilyturf root nourishes yin, and schisandra helps prevent excessive sweating. Together, they replenish both qi and yin, improving symptoms such as dry mouth, fatigue, and spontaneous sweating caused by deficiency of both qi and yin.

2. Improve Qi Deficiency and Fatigue: For symptoms such as low energy, limb weariness, and shortness of breath after physical activity caused by qi deficiency, this drink helps strengthen the body's vital energy, enhance physical stamina, and reduce daily fatigue. It is especially suitable for people with weak constitutions, those who sit for long periods, or those experiencing overwork.

3. Relieve Summer Heat-Induced Fluid Damage: High temperatures in summer can easily cause heat to consume body fluids, leading to dizziness, thirst, and excessive sweating. Shengmai Drink helps replenish lost fluids and vital energy, alleviating discomfort from heat exposure and helping prevent heatstroke.

4. Assist in Regulating Blood Pressure: It may provide supportive benefits for low blood pressure caused by deficiency of both qi and yin, helping raise blood pressure levels and relieve symptoms such as dizziness and blurred vision due to hypotension. Use should be under medical supervision.

5. Improve Palpitations and Insomnia: Insufficient qi and yin may lead to inadequate nourishment of the heart and mind, causing palpitations, insomnia, and vivid dreams. By benefiting qi, nourishing yin, calming the heart, and soothing the spirit, Shengmai Drink helps improve sleep quality and reduce feelings of heart palpitations.

Dosage should follow instructions on the label or as directed by a healthcare provider; avoid long-term or excessive use. Discontinue use during colds or fever to avoid interfering with recovery.
