전통적 사용
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, 红枣 (Hóng Zǎo) has been used for centuries. TCM practitioners use it to reinforce the body's defensive energy (wei qi). It is traditionally used to calm the spirit (shen) and settle the heart-mind. It supports the spleen and stomach — the foundation of post-natal qi production in TCM theory.
