Dang gui is highly valued for the treatment for a host of women's illnesses. My grandma would always prepare a simple chicken or pork soup with a few slices of dang gui and red dates for me at the end of my menstrual cycle. It is believed to help clear the womb of residual blood and cleanse the blood.
Astragalus, goji berries, red dates and dried tangerine peel in this recipe are also mild chinese herbs suitable for general nourishing.
