First: Polygonatum paired with Radix Adenophorae (Nan Sha Shen) and Fritillaria (Bei Mu)

This combination moistens the lungs, nourishes yin, and relieves coughing. If you suffer from dry cough due to lung deficiency—characterized by persistent dry coughing, dry mouth, a parched throat, and recurring waves of uncomfortable feverish sensations—this pairing is ideal. Radix Adenophorae nourishes yin and supplements the lungs while clearing heat, and Polygonatum nourishes yin to moisten the lungs.

Second: Polygonatum (Huangjing) paired with Atractylodes (Baizhu)

For those with weak spleens and stomachs who often suffer from poor appetite, loss of interest in food, abdominal bloating, mental fatigue, and a lack of energy to move, this combination can be used to strengthen the spleen and replenish Qi.

Third: Polygonatum (Huangjing) paired with Goji Berries (Gouqi)

This combination forms the classic Traditional Chinese Medicine formula "Er Jing Wan," specifically designed to tonify the kidneys and nourish the essence. If you feel your kidneys are weak—experiencing symptoms such as soreness and weakness in the lower back and knees, soft legs, dizziness, tinnitus, increasing gray hair, or hot flashes and night sweats—you can refer to this pairing. Polygonatum broadens the middle and replenishes Qi, harmonizing the five internal organs and filling the muscles, while Goji berries nourish the liver and kidneys. Together, they work to tonify the kidneys and replenish essence.

A reminder to everyone: Traditional Chinese Medicine requires syndrome differentiation. If needed, please consult a professional physician for timely diagnosis, treatment, and conditioning.
