The efficacy of drinking water infused with Dang Gui and Huang Qi

Both Angelica sinensis (Dang Gui) and Astragalus membranaceus (Huang Qi) are commonly used traditional Chinese herbs. Drinking their infusion together offers the following benefits: 1. **Promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis**: Angelica sinensis has a pungent and dispersing property that effectively promotes blood circulation and resolves blood stasis. In clinical TCM practice, this herbal combination often treats traumatic injuries, blood stasis in the chest and abdomen or along the ribs, and blocked meridians. 2. **Tonify Qi and strengthen the spleen**: Angelica sinensis is warm in nature and sweet in taste, acting on the spleen meridian, thus capable of strengthening the spleen Qi. Astragalus can reinforce Qi and consolidate the exterior, thereby enhancing the therapeutic effects of Angelica sinensis. This combination suits individuals with spleen Qi deficiency, fatigue, weakness, poor appetite, and loose stools. 3. **Regulate menstruation and relieve pain**: The combination also helps regulate conditions such as blood deficiency with sallow complexion, irregular menstruation, amenorrhea, and dysmenorrhea. 4. **Moisten the intestines and relieve constipation**: Drinking Angelica and Astragalus infusion helps moisten the intestines and relieve constipation. It is suitable for individuals suffering from dry intestines and constipation caused by improper diet or excessive internal liver heat, effectively softening hardened stool and alleviating constipation. 5. **Consolidate the exterior and reduce sweating**: Drinking Angelica and Astragalus infusion can also help strengthen the body's surface defenses to reduce perspiration. It is suitable for individuals experiencing night sweats or spontaneous sweating caused by deficiency cold of the spleen and stomach or deficiency of both Qi and blood.
