Huai Shan 淮山

Huái shān (淮山), also known as Shān yào (山药) or Chinese Yam, is a tonic herb for Qi deficiency. It is good at tonifying the spleen, lungs, and kidneys, thereby strengthening our immune system.

Benefits:
● Invigorates the spleen to promote Qi production, thereby improving spleen deficiency symptoms such as lack of appetite, loose stools, fatigue, general weakness, indigestion, etc.
● Moistens the lungs and tonifies lung Qi, thereby alleviating shortness of breath, and treating chronic cough due to lung weakness.
● Strengthens the kidney Qi, thereby treating soreness and weakness of the waist and knees, frequent nighttime urination, premature ejaculation, thin vaginal discharge in women, etc.
● Improves kidney Yin deficiency symptoms such as soreness and weakness of the waist and knees, involuntary ejaculation of semen during sleep (nocturnal emission), night sweats, insomnia, etc.
● Supports postpartum and post-surgery recovery

Recommended for whom:
Suitable for everyone, especially children and elderly who are susceptible to the common cold, and individuals experiencing stomach issues due to stress. Those who are susceptible to spleen weakness—for instance, due to frequently eating irregular meals, overeating, consuming excessive cold, raw, greasy, deep-fried, or spicy foods—can also benefit from consuming huái shān.

Dosage:
15g to 30g

Suggested use:
Simply add it to your herbal soups for a nourishing boost. Huái shān (淮山) is commonly combined with herbs such as American ginseng (花旗参 / 泡参), yù zhú (玉竹), lotus seeds (莲子), red dates (红枣), and wolfberries (枸杞).
