1. **Strengthening the spleen and nourishing the lungs**: The combination of Astragalus, Licorice, and Chinese dates helps promote digestion and absorption in the spleen and stomach, while also moisturizing the lungs and enhancing resistance of the respiratory system.
2. **Relieving fatigue**: Astragalus and Licorice can balance internal energy and enhance the body's resistance to fatigue; Chinese dates are rich in vitamins and are beneficial for improving metabolism.
3. **Nourishing blood and calming the mind**: This combination can also promote blood formation in the body, relieve nervous tension, and achieve a calming effect.
Drinking water infused with Astragalus, Licorice, and Chinese dates can help improve overall health, but it is important to consume it in moderation and follow medical advice.
