御方 壮腰壮阳 健腎茶/汤药茶 A Strong Back, Muscles and Bones / Zhuang Yao Jian Shen Tea 成分：杜仲，熟地，枣皮，续断，淫羊藿，芡实，枸杞，首乌，巴戟 功效：补肝肾，益精髓，强骨健筋 用法： 煎服，五碗水煎成一碗后内服。 溫馨提示：請先向醫師咨詢是否合適服用此茶 A Strong Back, Muscles and Bones 壯腰健腎茶 (Zhuang Yao Jian Shen Herbal Tea): Effect: For weakness or pain in the lower body: low back pain, weak back, hips, knees, legs, weak tendons. A Strong Back, Muscles, and Bones may prove to be a useful fall/winter tonic for weak or aging people or anyone who suffers from chills and weakness, and chronic deep aches and pains that improve with the application of heat and gentle massage. Chinese doctors recommend this remedy for people with kidney yang and kidney qi deficiency: 补肝肾、益精髓、强骨健筋 which may manifest as the body’s inability to support strong muscles and bones with many resulting health issues ranging from chronic diarrhea, bone fractures, back and leg pain, poor circulation, low sexual vitality, and osteoporosis. Since the Kidney/adrenal Qi impacts many aspects of health in the body, there may be accompanying troubles such as low immunity, depression, obesity, heart weakness, or being accident-prone. Either men or women may use A Strong Back, Muscles, and Bones for exhaustion with chronic pain and weakness. However a warming tonic will have side-effects for people who already have inflammation issues. It should be avoided during a cold or flu, fever, headache, acne, or other internal heat discomforts. Inflammatory heat feels hot, burning, pounding, unrelenting, and sometimes disorienting. Otherwise heating sexual tonic herbs such as epimedium (lusty goat weed) may be used by men or women when balanced, as it is in this formula, with cooling, moistening rejuvenating herbs such as wolfberry (goji berry) Polygonum multi. (fo-ti) and rehmannia. (If you want a formula to tone energy and blood without warming herbs see Ten Warriors. ) Cautions and Contraindications: Heating. Avoid during a cold or flu Ingredients :  Eucommia Bark, Rehmannia Root Tuber, Fructus Corni, Himalayan Teasel Root, Epimedium Herb,  Euryale Seed, fox nuts, Wolfberry Fruit, Sharpleaf Galangal, Polygonum multiflorum, Morinda Root Directions: Add five bowls of water. Boil five bowls of water into one bowl, then filter and take the soup.  The amount of water is a key point because it can directly affect the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine, so if cooking the herbal soup according to the guidelines, the best results will be achieved. Suggestions: The traditional method of cooking this herbal tonic is to make a strong water extract: 五碗水煎至一碗 : Boil five bowls of water to one. It makes a strong-tasting brew that some people prefer. However it can be cooked twice by blanching the herbs in hot water, simmering them the first time for 30 minutes, drinking the tea, then cooking a second time for up to two hours for a stronger beverage. The beverage can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Add some to your home-cooked bone broth. The herbs may be added to a liter of vodka to make an alcohol tincture.

昆布（6 oz/包） Herba Laminariae/Khumbu  (6oz/Bag) A member of the kelp family, kombu is a versatile pantry ingredient that provides dishes with umami flavor, nutrients, and minerals. Dried kombu can be used to make broth, added to beans to make them more digestible, and eaten in salads. Most kombu comes from Hokkaidō, Japan. What's it taste like? Because of the high concentration of glutamic acids, a building block of MSG, kombu is filled with umami. It's not fishy at all, with a briny, almost mushroom-like flavor. Don't wash kombu under running water or in water; instead, wipe any dirt off it with a cloth. The whitish powder adds flavour; that is why you don't want to wash it away. It needs to be soaked at least 20 minutes before use, unless simmering it for dashi. It is a rich source of iron and potassium. . . some people use laminaria as medicine. Laminaria is taken by mouth for weight loss, high blood pressure, as a bulk laxative for constipation, and for treating radiation sickness. It is also used for preventing cancer.

The medicinal properties of the Dahurican root has been dated back to Ancient China as early as 400 BC. Zhang Cong Zhen (1156–1228), a famous physician in the military, believed that diseases were caused by (external evil”) pathogens that entered the human body. He listed Bai Zhi as an herb that purge the body of any negative influences such as heat, clamminess, dryness, and cold on the skin. Today, the roots are used for other numerous treatments of illnesses such as headaches, relieving nasal obstruction, detoxification of the blood, as a pain reliever, an anti-inflammatory, a laxative, sedative, anti-fungal cream for skin, as well as treating swollen gums and toothaches.  The seeds are often used as a seasoning condiment in food as well as a source of flavoring in liqueur. Another popular usage for this herb is its ingredient in cosmetic products.  Cautions: Aside from the medicinal properties that this plant offers, this species also may increase skin sensitivity to sunlight and may cause dermatitis. A compound called the angelicotoxin, is an active ingredient within the root which has an excitatory effect on the respiratory system, central nervous system, and the vasculomotor system of the body.
