Recently, some friends gave me a few Korean ginsengs and wolfberries. My father now likes to steep them in hot water and drink it. I was wondering what are the health benefits and effects of drinking Korean ginseng and wolfberry infused water?

Dr. Shen Yonghua
Drinking water infused with Jinshen (a type of ginseng) and Lycium barbarum (goji berries) offers multiple health benefits. They can replenish qi and nourish yin, alleviating symptoms such as fatigue, shortness of breath, dry mouth, and sore throat. This combination also clears heat and detoxifies the body, effectively relieving symptoms like swollen throat, mouth ulcers, and tongue sores. Additionally, Jinshen and goji berry water can nourish the liver and kidneys, helping to improve conditions such as weakness and soreness in the lower back and knees, dizziness, and tinnitus. It also benefits the eyes by relieving symptoms such as dryness, irritation, and blurred vision. Furthermore, it moistens the lungs and alleviates coughing, offering some therapeutic effects for chronic cough due to lung deficiency and symptoms such as coughing with blood-tinged sputum. However, it is important to note that both Jinshen and goji berries are traditional Chinese medicinal herbs, and their use is recommended under the guidance of a physician.
