Drinking these foods directly in water can nourish the kidneys, strengthen yang and benefit health

There are always some people around us who like to use Chinese medicine to make tea. Although some Chinese medicine can help people solve physical diseases, excessive drinking may cause trouble to the body. Take the matter of strengthening yang and nourishing the kidneys as an example. In fact, as long as you use the following ingredients to make tea, you can see good results.

1. Wolfberry

According to traditional Chinese medicine theory, wolfberry is sweet and flat in nature, and enters the liver and kidney meridians. It can tonify the kidney and replenish essence, nourish the liver and improve eyesight, replenish blood and calm the mind, and promote fluid production and quench thirst. It is often used to treat liver and kidney deficiency and deficiency of essence and blood.

The simplest way to treat weakness, back and leg pain, weak feet and knees, dizziness and tinnitus caused by insufficient kidney yin is to soak wolfberries in water. Take 20-30 grams of wolfberries, soak them in boiling water, cover and simmer for 10-20 minutes before drinking. After soaking two or three times, eat the wolfberries. Chewing wolfberries directly is more conducive to the absorption of nutrients.

2. Cistanche deserticola

Cistanche deserticola is known as the "Ginseng of the Desert" and is a famous and precious herb that is frequently used in prescriptions for nourishing the kidney and boosting yang. The "Shennong Herbal Classic" of the Han Dynasty states that Cistanche deserticola can "nourish the five internal organs, strengthen yin, benefit essence and qi, and make the body lighter if taken for a long time." Zhen Quan, a famous doctor in the Tang Dynasty, also believed that it "benefited the marrow, improved complexion, and prolonged life." This shows that Cistanche deserticola is a precious herb that can delay aging.

Take 15 grams of it and boil it in water to drink as tea. You can add a little honey to adjust the taste. It should be noted that since Cistanche deserticola can relieve constipation, it is not suitable for people who often have loose stools.
