FAQs

Quick questions

Who is this soup for after COVID?

People who feel weakened and tired after COVID and need a Qi-Blood kitchen pot. Prefer the Dang Shen yam porridge when low appetite leads more than deep fatigue.

How often can I eat it?

One to two times a week is the scrape habit. It is food therapy for a named deficiency picture, not an everyday tonic for every constitution.

Can I use this soup in pregnancy?

If there's any chance of pregnancy, ask a physician before using Dang Gui in kitchen pots. Do not self-select strong Blood-moving herbs in pregnancy.
