Boosting Immunity with TCM Remedies
In today’s society, stress is omnipresent. Stress weakens our immune system. Here is a simple remedy: Huangqi Gouqizi Dazao Tang (Astragalus, Goji Berry, and Jujube Decoction), regularly consumed to strengthen immunity.
The recipe is simple: 12 grams of Astragalus (Huangqi), 9 grams of Goji berries (Gouqizi), and seven jujubes (Dazao). Pour boiling water over the ingredients, steep for 20 minutes, then drink as tea. Regular consumption enhances immunity and effectively prevents colds and other illnesses.
Astragalus tonifies the spleen and lungs, serving as a key herb for boosting qi. Modern pharmacological studies confirm that Astragalus is among the most effective herbs for enhancing immunity. Goji berries nourish the liver and kidneys, while jujubes tonify the middle energizer, invigorate qi, and calm the spirit. Together, these three herbs replenish qi and blood, ensuring abundant vital energy.
In TCM, sufficient vital energy enables the body to defend against disease and maintain immune resilience.
