Organic Goji Berries

In the traditional Chinese medicine herbal book, the goji berry is a very important herb. Chinese doctors often use goji in the Chinese medicine formula to balance and strengthen the body. Goji berries are not only extremely beneficial for the health, but they are sweet, delicious to eat and not as expensive as other nutritional supplements.

In China, as goji berries are known for their great anti-aging effects they are bought for their older friends or family as a gift.

1.Health benefits of goji berries

1)Strengthens the kidneys and anti-aging effects

Many traditional Chinese medicine text books mention that goji berries taste sweet and strengthen the kidneys. We suggest that if you have any of the symptoms mentioned above or to prevent aging you can eat goji berries regularly, starting to eat from middle age onwards. Goji berry porridge is a great dish to eat. Please see the recipe below.

2) Benefits the eyes

Goji berries also act on the liver. Generally the liver sends energy and nutrition to eyes to support its function. In my experience in my clinic, most eye disorders are associated with a liver deficiency. These people usually have the following symptoms, dry eyes, tired eyes, blurry vision, pain and burning sensation around the eye. I suggest that if you have any of these symptoms, whilst you are undergoing treatment you can eat goji berry chrysanthemum tea. You can also drink this tea regularly to prevent eye disorders. Please see the recipe below.

3) Beneficial for tight joints

Regular eating of goji berries can help bones and tendons, and reduce or prevent tightness in joints, joint pain, weak knees. Chinese medicine considers tendons and joints are dominated by the liver and kidneys, as goji berries are beneficial for the liver and kidneys they are able to improve conditions in the joints, tendons and bones. Eating goji berries regularly can prevent bone or joint disease. You can eat beef bone soup with goji berries. Please see our recipe below.
