Dr. He Haochen
Chinese jujube (Ziziphus jujuba Mill.) is a traditional Chinese herb known for its effects of tonifying the spleen and stomach, invigorating qi, nourishing blood, regulating menstruation, whitening the skin, and enhancing facial complexion. Therefore, consuming jujube—especially after stir-frying it and steeping it in hot water—offers the following primary benefits:
- Effectively alleviates symptoms caused by deficiency of the middle jiao (spleen and stomach), such as epigastric and abdominal distension, constipation, or difficult defecation;
- Helps improve symptoms arising from qi and blood deficiency, including pale complexion, fatigue, lethargy, and poor concentration.
