Patient's question:
Because of a certain illness, I have been unable to stop taking medication for a long time. Due to the medication, my endocrine system has become problematic. Now, I want to stop taking the medication and regulate my body. Can people with hypothyroidism eat Ejiao?Doctor's answer:
Ejiao, as a precious traditional Chinese medicine, is widely used in clinical diagnosis. Its main effect is to nourish yin and replenish qi. Therefore, if a patient has symptoms of qi and blood deficiency, it can also be consumed. Generally, Ejiao is from Dong'e, which is considered more authentic. Ejiao pieces are very hard and can be ground into powder, mixed with water to drink, or made into Ejiao cakes, which can then be eaten one piece at a time. Patients with hypothyroidism can also consume Ejiao cakes.
