FAQs
Quick questions
Can I drink Sheng Mai Yin every day?
The kitchen method on this page can be taken daily as educational food therapy unless a physician changes the plan. Persistent breathlessness still needs clinical assessment.
Is this a substitute for medical review after COVID?
No. It may support Qi and Yin patterns at home. Seek care for chest pain, severe breathlessness, or symptoms that are not settling.
