What Master Liang says
Sichuan, China · Chinese Herbs · Food as Medicine
“Gou qi zi 枸杞子, goji, wolfberry (Lycium barbarum). Sweet, neutral. Liver, kidney. Nourishes liver and kidney, adds to the essence, brightens the eyes. A handful in soup, congee or tea, with red dates or chrysanthemum. Caution: a handful is food. Concentrated goji tea with a blood thinner pushed one woman's INR to 4.1 in four days.”
“One line: goji in food is food, but concentrated goji tea or goji wine next to acenocoumarol, fenprocoumon or warfarin only if the trombosedienst agrees. Ginseng and dang shen, the old tonics for the tired, are herbs: herbs skill set, safety question first.”
