TCM Internal Conditioning Recipe | Drink this for 30 days to completely clear away that dull yellow complexion
This Apple and Astragalus (Huang Qi) tea from a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner uses gentle, non-drying ingredients for anyone who often stay up late and struggle with a sallow, dull yellow complexion.
The natural sweetness of apples, combined with the mild warmth of longan, means there’s absolutely no need to add sugar. There’s no bitter taste from the astragalus—just a sweet, refreshing flavor with a pleasant lingering aftertaste.
Astragalus boosts Qi and brightens the skin tone, Ophiopogon balances out the warmth, longan and red dates nourish the blood, and apples moderate the herbal properties. Even during the days of summer, it won’t cause internal heat.
Radix Ophiopogon — Nourishes yin and moistens dryness; tonifies qi without causing internal heat.
