Dendrobium, known as the "first of the nine Chinese herbs", plays an important role in the field of TCM health preservation. Its unique effects of promoting body fluid and nourishing the stomach, clearing away heat and nourishing yin, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging make it a leader among many herbs. However, in order to give full play to the health-preserving effect of dendrobium, it is particularly important to use it with other herbs.
The combination of dendrobium and Ophiopogon japonicus is a classic. Ophiopogon japonicus can moisturize and promote body fluid. When used with dendrobium, it can not only enhance the effect of nourishing yin and promoting body fluid, but also replenish qi and strengthen the exterior. It is especially suitable for people who often stay up late, have strong liver fire, and dry mouth. This combination can help keep hydrated skin and abundant energy in the dry season.
The combination of dendrobium and Astragalus membranaceus focuses on replenishing qi and nourishing yin. As a good medicine for replenishing qi, Astragalus membranaceus complements dendrobium. Astragalus can replenish vital energy and refresh the spirit, while dendrobium can nourish yin and blood, and nourish the five internal organs. This combination can help strengthen the body, improve immunity, and allow the body to be fully conditioned.
In addition, the combination of dendrobium and wolfberry is also highly praised. Wolfberry has multiple functions of improving eyesight, whitening, and anti-aging. When used with dendrobium, it can not only regulate the five internal organs, but also improve the physical condition. This combination is especially suitable for people with high work pressure and weak body, and is a blessing for sub-health status.
Of course, the combination of dendrobium is far more than that. According to personal constitution and needs, you can also choose to match it with a variety of medicinal materials such as Kunlun snow chrysanthemum, millet, longan, monk fruit, American ginseng, tangerine peel, etc., to achieve multiple functions such as nourishing yin and clearing heat, strengthening the spleen and appetizing, nourishing blood and calming the nerves, clearing heat and moistening the lungs.
In short, dendrobium plays an important role in TCM health care, but to achieve the best effect, it needs to be cleverly matched with other medicinal materials. When choosing a combination of medicinal materials, it is recommended to consult a professional Chinese medicine practitioner to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the medication.
