Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. He Haochen
For kidney yang deficiency, it is appropriate to consume a moderate amount of goji berries before bedtime, but overconsumption should be avoided. Goji berries are both a food and a traditional Chinese medicinal herb; consuming them in moderation can help improve symptoms of kidney deficiency. However, goji berries are considered a warming and heat-inducing substance, and excessive intake may exacerbate symptoms of kidney yang deficiency. Therefore, it is essential to control the amount of goji berries consumed to avoid worsening bodily damage.
