Dr. Yang Ziqi
The efficacy and functions of drinking water infused with white artemisia (Bai Hao) and jujube (red date) are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
1. Clearing heat and resolving dampness: Bai Hao is cold in nature and has the effect of clearing heat and removing dampness. It can help alleviate symptoms such as damp-heat jaundice and excessive stomach fire.
2. Strengthening the spleen and replenishing qi: Jujube is warm in nature and serves to fortify the middle jiao (spleen and stomach) and replenish qi. It can improve symptoms such as spleen and stomach weakness, reduced appetite, and loose stools. When combined, these two ingredients complement each other, both clearing heat and supplementing qi.
3. Cooling the blood and detoxifying: Bai Hao also has the function of cooling the blood and detoxification, which can accelerate the metabolism of internal heat toxins and improve symptoms such as sore throat and swelling.
4. Nourishing the blood and calming the mind: Jujube is rich in iron and can nourish the blood and enhance qi, while also having the effect of calming the mind and improving conditions such as insomnia and frequent dreaming.
It is recommended to use this herbal infusion under the guidance of a physician, in conjunction with other professional treatment methods, to achieve optimal therapeutic results.
