What are the benefits of drinking water infused with Dang Gui and Huang Qi?
I am 30 years old this year, and recently I have always felt weak and experienced palpitations. A friend mentioned that this might be caused by insufficient qi and blood, and suggested drinking water steeped with Angelica sinensis (Dang Gui) and Astragalus (Huang Qi) to help relieve the symptoms. May I ask the doctor, what are the benefits of drinking water steeped with Angelica sinensis and Astragalus?
Doctor's answer (1)
Angelica sinensis (Dang Gui) and Astragalus (Huang Qi) are two commonly used medicinal herbs in traditional Chinese medicine. Drinking water infused with these herbs offers the following benefits:
1. Regulating menstruation and relieving pain: Angelica sinensis can help regulate menstrual disorders and alleviate dysmenorrhea in women, while Astragalus can assist in reducing physical discomfort associated with these symptoms.
2. Enhancing immunity: Both Angelica sinensis and Astragalus have immune-modulating properties, which can strengthen the body's immune system, help prevent colds and other illnesses, promote the production and activity of white blood cells, and increase resistance to pathogenic microorganisms.
3. Nourishing and enriching blood: Angelica sinensis, known as the "sacred herb for blood," has excellent blood-nourishing and blood-activating effects, helping to improve anemia and promote blood circulation.
4. Alleviating fatigue: Combined use of these two herbs can boost energy levels, relieve fatigue, and enhance physical strength, making them suitable for individuals experiencing high work pressure or significant physical exhaustion.
Although both Angelica sinensis and Astragalus are natural medicinal herbs, they also have certain contraindications and side effects. Therefore, it is advisable to consult a physician before use to avoid self-administered combination therapy.
