1. Soak the red dates in warm water, wash them and remove the core. (If you don’t remove the core, it will feel a bit hot and dry. If you have a cold constitution, you can also leave it alone.)

2. Soak the astragalus and red dates in clean water for 20-30 minutes. (Normal decoction of Chinese medicine requires soaking the herbs for 20-30 minutes to facilitate the extraction of the medicinal properties)

It is best to use a casserole or porcelain pot for decocting Chinese medicine. If you don’t have one, use stainless steel. Do not use other metal containers.

How to brew Astragalus, Angelica and Red Dates tea

Qi and blood deficiency, what is the ratio of these three Chinese medicines to make tea? Is the brewing method the same as the usual tea brewing method?

There is a famous prescription from ancient times called "Danggui Buxue Tang". It is composed of two herbs: Astragalus and Angelica. There are certain requirements for the proportion of medicine used in Danggui Buxue Tang. The dosage ratio of Astragalus and Angelica is 5:1. Therefore, it is recommended that you use 15g of Astragalus, 3g of Angelica and one jujube (cracked) as tea instead of tea. Use 200 ml of water each time. Change the medicine once a day. For tonic medicine, try to decoct it. If it is inconvenient and you must drink it as tea, try to cut the medicine into smaller pieces and use boiling water each time you brew it. Let me remind you that there is a prerequisite for drinking Chinese herbal medicine as tea: you must have a basic correct judgment of your own condition. Red dates: also known as jujubes, are sweet in taste and warm in nature. They have the functions of nourishing the spleen and stomach, moistening the heart and lungs, promoting fluid production and quenching thirst, improving complexion, and opening the nine orifices. Astragalus has the effects of tonifying the middle and replenishing Qi, greatly replenishing vital energy, and unblocking blood circulation and activating collaterals. Combined with Chinese medicines such as angelica that nourish the blood and promote muscle growth, it does have the effect of beautifying and nourishing the skin.

Through the above interpretation of the effects of Astragalus and Angelica, we can see that they have many functions and effects that we are not aware of. Therefore, in life, when we need to maintain our health, it is best to use some more nutritious herbs. This will not only make our efforts worthwhile, but also allow the herbs to truly play a role.
