Take 20-30 grams of wolfberry, brew it with boiling water, cover it and simmer it for 10-20 minutes before drinking. After soaking it two or three times, eat the wolfberry. Chewing wolfberries directly is more conducive to the absorption of nutrients. When the modern physician Zhang Xichun was 50 years old, he chewed 30 grams of wolfberry before going to bed every night. It is recommended that people with a hot constitution take 15-40 pills each morning and evening, and persist for 1-3 months to see results. People with a cold constitution should not eat it raw, but they can steam it in a bowl for 30-40 minutes and eat it as a snack.

The preparation method is to add appropriate amount of water to 150 grams of japonica rice and cook porridge, and then add 30 grams of wolfberry when the porridge is almost cooked. The main manifestations of kidney yin deficiency in men are impotence, infertility, spermatorrhea, premature ejaculation, low back pain, and urinary incontinence. You can often eat wolfberry porridge or soak in wolfberry water. Symptoms of kidney yin deficiency in women include irregular menstruation, sallow complexion, insomnia, etc. Eating wolfberries regularly can strengthen the body, produce essence and nourish the marrow. Ladies may as well eat wolfberry and tremella soup regularly. Add 25 grams of wolfberry and 15 grams of tremella, add appropriate amount of water and boil into a thick juice, add 20 grams of honey, and boil for another 5 minutes.
