Codonopsis (73g)

Codonopsis, often referred to as the "poor man’s ginseng," is a mild yet effective root herb that targets the lungs and spleen. With a sweet, slightly bitter taste, it is a gentle tonic that helps to strengthen Qi, nourish the blood, and invigorate the immune system. Often used in soups, herbal teas, and Chinese medicines, it is an affordable alternative to ginseng and a staple in many Chinese kitchens. 

Codonopsis is also known for its digestive and metabolic benefits, as well as its ability to lower blood pressure and stimulate the nervous system, according to Western pharmacological studies. Particularly beneficial for postpartum women, it helps nourish blood and improve uterine function during the traditional postpartum confinement period.
