Dr. Li Mingchuan
Ginseng and Ophiopogon japonicus (Maidong) steeped in hot water offer dual benefits of replenishing both Qi and Yin. Ginseng primarily tonifies the body’s fundamental Qi, while Ophiopogon japonicus mainly nourishes Yin and supports the liver and kidneys. When combined as a tea, they are commonly used to treat dizziness, vertigo, lower back and knee soreness—symptoms arising from liver-kidney Yin deficiency or insufficiency of essence and blood—with notable efficacy. This combination also demonstrates therapeutic effects for erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, excessive leukorrhea, and diabetes.
