What are the traditional Chinese medicines for health care?

The pace of life is fast now, and we are gradually paying more attention to health care. For example, we generally don’t overeat like we used to. So we should know what Chinese medicines for health care are, and we also need to understand what specific benefits Chinese medicines for health care can bring to our bodies.

1. Wolfberry has the functions of nourishing the liver, resisting aging and beautifying the skin. In addition, it is neutral in nature, neither hot nor cold. It can be used as a daily health food for people with hot or cold constitution. In addition to making tea or soup with wolfberry, it can also be eaten raw as a "snack" or added to porridge, allowing the body to "enjoy" its benefits.

2. Ginseng is neutral and slightly warm in nature, so when taking ginseng, the appropriate use depends on your physical condition. “If you have a hot constitution, you can eat American ginseng (American ginseng is cold in nature). If you have a cold constitution, you can eat warm-natured Korean ginseng and Panax ginseng. Eating it several times a month can promote human health.” But the principle is not set in stone. If your constitution is not suitable for a cold body, you can also use a combination of American ginseng and Panax ginseng to achieve a tonic effect that balances yin and yang. If you take ginseng by stewing it, do not stew it for too long to avoid affecting its effects. This is something you must pay attention to.

3. Cordyceps sinensis is also a very commonly used Chinese medicine. It has a wide range of uses. In addition to its effects in relieving asthma and reducing phlegm, it also has the function of enhancing human immunity. Because of its mild and warm nature, it is suitable for ordinary people to take every day, and it is even more beneficial for middle-aged and elderly people to take this medicinal material. When using Cordyceps sinensis, about 8 cordyceps should be used for daily health care. If it is used for treating diseases, the dosage should be increased. Grinding it into powder and taking it will be simpler and more direct. If you know how to combine it with ginseng, you can achieve higher therapeutic effects.
