Soaking and drinking Codonopsis and Angelica sinensis in water has multiple functions and benefits. This combination can replenish qi and nourish blood, promote blood circulation, increase hemoglobin levels, and thereby improve anemia, especially suitable for conditions of qi and blood deficiency. Both Codonopsis and Angelica sinensis have the effect of moistening the intestines and relieving constipation. When consumed together as a soaked preparation, they can stimulate gastrointestinal motility, aid digestion and absorption of food, and alleviate symptoms of indigestion such as constipation. Additionally, this combination can strengthen the spleen and stomach, nourish the body, and enhance middle-jiao qi, helping to alleviate symptoms caused by spleen and stomach weakness or deficiency of middle-jiao qi, such as fatigue and poor appetite. However, it is important to note that consumption should be done under the guidance of a physician to avoid any adverse effects.
