Herbal remedies keep the skin young
Herbs are mainly used to regulate lung, kidney and spleen functioning, promote blood production and nourish yin and qi (vital energy). Common ingredients include ginseng, Solomon's seal rhizome (huang jing), wolfberry fruit, Gynostemma pentaphyllum (jiao gu lan), ginkgo leaf, dates, raspberry fruit, angelica root, fleece flower root, fragrant Solomon's seal rhizome (yu zhu), black sesame , Ganoderma lucidum (ling zhi), Siberian ginseng (ci wu jia) and pollen. They help to maintain a softness, luster and spotless skin. Some ingredients are combined to assist in the elimination of accumulated metabolic wastes, such as giant typhonium rhizome (bai fu zi), peach kernel, dahurian angelica root (bai zhi), Ledebouriella root (fang feng) and Biond Magnolia flower(xin yi), so as to solve specific beauty problems. Traditionally, for long-term consumption, people would consult a physician for a customized prescription. A considerable amount of ingredients (at least two-month's dosage) are prepared as a concentrated decoction, then further concentrated in strained liquid, and finally cooked with the addition of honey to make into a syrup or gel-like extract. They are known as "enriching soft extracts", which are easy to take and sweet to the taste.
