Tradisjonell bruk
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, 枸杞 (Gǒu Qǐ) has been used for centuries. TCM practitioners use it to reinforce the body's defensive energy (wei qi). 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.
