This soup is excellent for enhancing the skin and expelling heat from the body. Superb for our crazily hot weather these days! It is easy to make, and I cook this regularly for my family.
American Ginseng
Amercian Ginseng is cold in nature, taste bittersweet, enhances qi and expels heat. It may also help to fight diabetes, fatigue and the common cold.
