Features: In Traditional Chinese Medicine, it is believed that a person's constitution is composed of Qi, Blood, and Body Fluids. When these three are balanced and sufficient, the outward manifestation is what we call good complexion. Since ancient times, the Chinese have used medicinal materials and foods to nourish Qi, Blood, and Body Fluids in the body, creating many beverages suitable for daily health maintenance. The various materials used in health beverages have different effects in nourishing the body's functions. Many materials even possess multiple functions, such as Goji Berry, which primarily replenishes Qi but also has the functions of nourishing Blood and replenishing Body Fluids.
