Dang Shen Tea (黨參茶)

This Dang Shen tea has the abilty to rejuvinate your 'Qi' in your body. Dang Shen is considered as a poor's man ginseng, accordingly it is considered as a weaker version of ginseng. Do remember that if you consume Dang Shen it is best to avoid carrots as these 2 are opposites. If you feel a little fatigue and has no appetite this tea does help. It has also been proven to rejenerate red blood cells as well. For me myself I just drink this tea so that my body blood circulation will improve.

This tea can be consume during confinement, after birth.
