In fact, ejiao jujube is only suitable for people with qi deficiency or blood deficiency, which helps to improve symptoms such as yellow complexion, fear of cold, mental fatigue and weakness of limbs. As the saying goes, three dates a day keep you young. However, ejiao jujube is not easy to digest, and should not exceed 10 tablets per day. In addition, candied dates are greasy and difficult to digest, and it is easy to get angry if you eat too much.

For example, they are usually flushed and impatient, can speak many languages, often have swollen gums, oral ulcers, dry stools, like to drink cold water and eat cold food. Herbal tea should not be drunk much, nor should it be drunk as water. Excessive consumption of herbal tea will consume the yang of the human body. Drink 200-400 ml every day, not much. But people with cold constitution should try not to drink herbal tea. People with cold constitution are usually pale, short of breath, lazy, easily tired, cold hands and feet and loose stools.

Fuling cake also has certain therapeutic value for edema of limbs and unfavorable urination caused by kidney deficiency. At present, poria cocos cakes on the market are all added with honey, white sugar and other raw materials, and the sugar content is often high.
