Is泡水 with Lycium barbarum (goji berries), longan, mulberry fruit, and chrysanthemum good for kidney health?

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, soaking Lycium barbarum (goji berries), longan, mulberry fruit, and chrysanthemum in water indeed has certain kidney-nourishing effects.

Goji berries are believed to nourish the liver and kidneys, improve vision, and help alleviate visual fatigue and enhance immunity. Longan has a warm nature and sweet taste; according to TCM, it benefits qi, nourishes the blood, calms the mind, and is commonly used to treat symptoms such as insomnia and forgetfulness caused by deficiency of both the heart and spleen. Mulberry fruit is regarded in TCM as an excellent ingredient for nourishing yin and strengthening the kidneys, and for moistening the intestines to relieve constipation. Chrysanthemum has a cool nature and can clear heat, detoxify, calm the liver, and improve vision.

Drinking water infused with these four ingredients combines their respective benefits and can promote general health to a certain extent, particularly offering some protection and support to the eyes, liver, and kidneys, thereby indirectly aiding in restoring kidney function. However, herbal tea cannot replace medical treatment; if significant symptoms of kidney deficiency exist, comprehensive regulation using other herbs or methods tailored to the individual's constitution and specific condition may also be necessary.

When consuming such herbal teas, moderation is also important to avoid excessive intake that could lead to physical discomfort.
