The benefits and effects of soaking goji berries and mulberries in water mainly include the following: 1. **Nourish the liver and kidneys**: Both goji berries and mulberries act on the liver and kidney meridians. Goji berries are particularly effective in nourishing kidney essence and replenishing liver blood, while mulberries benefit the kidneys and help retain essence. Together, they effectively nourish the liver and kidneys and are especially beneficial for alleviating discomfort caused by yin deficiency of the liver and kidneys. 2. **Enhance vision**: Goji berries are commonly used to improve conditions such as blurred vision caused by yin deficiency of the liver and kidneys and insufficient essence and blood. Mulberries also help clear the liver and improve vision. Drinking this infused water can relieve eye fatigue and dryness and improve eyesight. 3. **Nourish yin and enrich blood**: Mulberries, with their sweet and sour taste, help nourish yin and enrich blood. When soaked in water with goji berries, this combination can be used to treat conditions caused by deficiency of the liver and kidneys and insufficiency of yin and blood, such as soreness and weakness of the waist and knees, dizziness, tinnitus, palpitations, and insomnia. 4. **Promote saliva production and relieve dryness**: Mulberries have a sweet and sour taste and are cold in nature. Soaking them in water can stimulate saliva secretion, relieve thirst, and moisten the intestines to promote bowel movements, thereby helping to alleviate constipation. 5. **Beauty and skin care**: Both goji berries and mulberries are rich in antioxidants, which can delay aging, promote skin circulation, and make the skin smooth and delicate. Although soaking goji berries and mulberries in water offers multiple benefits, excessive consumption should be avoided to prevent overstimulation of gastric acid secretion, which may加重 the digestive burden for individuals with poor gastrointestinal function. Additionally, the therapeutic effects of this infusion are limited; therefore, individuals experiencing persistent discomfort should seek timely medical attention.
