Dr. He Haochen
Eucommia tea offers excellent benefits for tonifying Qi and nourishing blood. For individuals experiencing low, weak voice and easy fatigue due to Qi deficiency, or pallor and limb weakness due to blood deficiency, moderate consumption of Eucommia tea—by replenishing Qi and blood—can significantly enhance overall physical fitness. Additionally, Eucommia tea effectively strengthens tendons and bones. Since Eucommia bark tonifies the Spleen and Stomach meridians, and the Spleen and Stomach constitute the “foundation of acquired constitution,” regular intake of Eucommia tea promotes nutrient absorption. This helps alleviate symptoms such as weak tendons and bones, soreness and weakness in the lower back and knees, and sallow complexion—thereby improving physical constitution.
