In China, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is very popular for health and wellness. TCM emphasizes the balance of yin and yang in the body, maintaining health and treating illness by regulating this balance and promoting the flow of energy and blood. This Red Date and Goji Berry Tea is renowned for its blood-nourishing properties, making it ideal for women after surgery, childbirth, or menstruation. It's also a great wellness tea for anyone looking to improve their overall health.


1.About Red Date and Goji Berry Tea

The main ingredients in Red Date and Goji Berry Tea are red dates and goji berries. Goji berries are rich in essential nutrients for eye health, including carotene, vitamin A1, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin C, calcium, and iron. Due to their eye-nourishing properties, they are commonly referred to as "bright eyes berries." Goji berries also have pharmacological effects such as enhancing white blood cell activity and promoting liver cell regeneration. Additionally, they help lower blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol levels, making them particularly suitable for individuals with edema-related obesity.


2. Why Share This Recipe?

Are you aware of the International Pelvic Pain Society's International Pelvic Pain Awareness Month? Natural herbal remedies for preventing and treating pelvic pain are an effective way to raise awareness of this issue. Healthy World Cuisine, in collaboration with Root + Spring, has introduced a series of three recipes: Goji Berry and Red Date Tea, Dried Ginger Palm Coconut Tea, and Women's Health Soup.

This is why I'm sharing this healthy tea recipe—with the hope that everyone takes good care of their body.


3.Benefits for Women

For women, drinking Red Date and Goji Berry Tea is especially beneficial after childbirth or during menstruation. During these times, women need to replenish the blood they have lost, and this tea is excellent for boosting energy and blood circulation. It can also help relieve menstrual pain.

A key principle of traditional Chinese medicine is that when there is a deficiency or stagnation of qi (energy) and blood in a specific area, it leads to an imbalance of yin and yang. This imbalance can prevent the organs from functioning optimally, resulting in illness and pain. Maintaining a clean and healthy menstrual cycle is not only crucial for managing menstruation but also for supporting the overall balance and function of the immune system.


4. Benefits for Men

Red Date and Goji Berry Tea is not just beneficial for women; it also offers significant benefits for men. Goji berries are believed to nourish the liver and kidneys, which can help improve sperm quality and quantity, thereby supporting reproductive health. Additionally, this tea may help alleviate anxiety, insomnia, and improve sleep quality. So, Red Date and Goji Berry Tea is a great choice for men as well.


5. Ingredients

- Red dates

- Goji berries

- Dried longan

- Rose petals

In addition to red dates and goji berries, I also added dried longan and rose petals. Dried longan helps reduce fatigue, calms the mind, and nourishes the blood and qi, while rose petals promote blood circulation, relieve stasis, and warm the stomach and strengthen the spleen.

You can find all these ingredients at Asian supermarkets or on Amazon. You'll also need a kettle or any tool suitable for brewing tea.


Now, let’s get started and make this healthy tea together!

Steep the tea for about 10-15 minutes. This allows the flavors to fully develop. Adjust the steeping time to your taste preference.
