GINSENG SOUP WITH ANGELICA ROOT
December 15, 2016This is one of the soups to calm upset stomachs resulting from irregular sleeping routines. It is said to be suitable for those who often stays up late at night, with weak blood and often feels lethargic. Ginseng is effective in protecting lungs and enhances Qi. Angelica root invigorates blood and regulates menstrual cycle. Chinese wild yam tonifies spleen and augments stomach. Dried longan nourishes blood and calms spirit. Black-bone chicken replenishes blood, enhances yin and brightens eyesight.
