Traditionel brug

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, 沙棘 (Shā Jí) has been used for centuries. It supports the spleen and stomach — the foundation of post-natal qi production in TCM theory. It is considered a longevity tonic — nourishing the fundamental essence (jing) and supporting the kidneys. It nourishes yin and blood to promote a healthy, radiant complexion in TCM beauty formulations.
