Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. He Haochen
The benefits of drinking water infused with Huang Qi (Astragalus) and Lycium (Goji berries) are diverse, primarily including:
1. **Improving bodily functions**: Huang Qi invigorates qi, nourishes blood, strengthens the spleen and stomach, and calms the mind, while Lycium nourishes the liver and kidneys, improves vision, and moistens the lungs. Together, they help enhance overall body function.
2. **Alleviating qi and blood deficiency**: For symptoms such as pale complexion, fatigue, and tiredness, drinking Huang Qi and Lycium infused water can bring about significant improvement.
3. **Antioxidant effects**: Both Huang Qi and Lycium are rich in antioxidant components, which can remove free radicals in the body, slow down the aging process, and help maintain a youthful state.
4. **Lowering blood pressure**: Both ingredients contribute to lowering blood pressure—Huang Qi achieves this by dilating blood vessels, while Lycium relaxes the smooth muscles of the blood vessels.
