Dr. Yang Ziqi
Drinking water infused with Huang Qi (Astragalus) and Lycium (Goji berries) has various functions and benefits, mainly including the following aspects:
1. **Tonify Qi and Strengthen the Spleen**: As a Qi-tonifying herb, Huang Qi, when consumed in combination with Lycium, can enhance blood and Qi circulation in the body, alleviating symptoms such as fatigue and loss of appetite caused by Qi deficiency and spleen deficiency.
2. **Nourish the Liver and Improve Vision**: Lycium is known for its function of nourishing the liver and kidneys, and nourishing the liver can help improve vision. The combination of these two herbs in infused water helps improve blurred vision and dry eyes caused by liver and kidney deficiency, benefiting overall eye health.
3. **Promote Body Fluid Production and Nourish the Blood**: Both Huang Qi and Lycium act on the spleen and kidney meridians. Drinking their infused water helps promote the production of body fluids and nourish the blood, thereby helping to alleviate symptoms such as pallor and dry mouth caused by blood deficiency.
4. **Enhance Immunity**: Both Huang Qi and Lycium are rich in nutritional components, which can help boost the body's immune system, strengthen resistance, and prevent colds and other illnesses.
