Today let's talk about a small secret of the body, specifically about our body's "energy reservoir" — essence and blood. Did you know? The strength of our body is intricately linked to essence and blood.

Imagine essence and blood as the body's battery, supplying us with continuous energy. However, as we age, and with habits like staying up late, indiscriminate eating, and excessive indulgence, our "battery" begins to gradually deplete.

When jing and blood are deficient, our body will develop various problems. For example, feeling weak with no energy to do things; memory also worsens, forgetting what happened yesterday by today; also dizziness, insomnia, hair thinning or loss, feeling as if you've aged several years overnight. Worse still, the body can become sensitive to both heat and cold, and the lower back and knees feel sore and weak.

But don’t worry, I have two “miraculous” medicinal herbs here that can help us regain lost energy. They are danggui (Angelica sinensis) and tu si zi (Cuscuta). Danggui is like the body’s “little expert at nourishing the blood,” able to strengthen our blood and qi and make the body more vigorous; tu si zi is a “master at tonifying the kidneys,” able to make our kidneys stronger and our vitality more abundant. Moreover, they can help regulate the body’s yin-yang balance, making our body more harmonious and healthy.

So, friends, if you also feel a bit “deficient,” you might try these two herbs. Steep them in a cup and drink a little each day — you might see unexpected results! Remember, health is our most precious asset; be sure to take good care of it!
