Who should TAKE Gou Qi Zi?
Goji berries are sweet little nuggets of dried fruit that are tasty and full of benefits. They are especially useful for those with Yin Deficiency symptoms (dizziness, tinnitus, vertigo, poor memory, hard hearing, night sweating, dry mouth and throat at night, lower back ache, aching in the bones, nocturnal emission, constipation, scanty dark urine, infertility, premature ejaculation, tiredness, lassitude, depression, slight anxiety) or Blood Deficiency symptoms (paleness: lips, nails, tongue, face; dry skin, numbness, weak muscles, dizziness, poor memory, depression, lack of strength).
Who should AVOID Gou Qi Zi?
While Goji berries are beneficial, there are some people who should avoid taking these berries because believe it or not, they are difficult for the body to digest. Therefore those with a Spleen Qi Deficiency, especially those with Dampness (poor appetite, slight abdominal distention after eating, tiredness, lassitude, pale or sallow complexion, weakness of the limbs, loose stools/diarrhea, slight depression, tendency to obesity, abdominal fullness, a feeling of heaviness, a sticky taste, poor digestion, undigested food in the stools, nausea, dull frontal headache, excessive vaginal discharge) should avoid eating goji berries.
Goji berries are a sweet treat and beneficial in many ways, but if you find you easily have food sensitivities, have loose stools/diarrhea, or easily get bloated and an uncomfortable feeling in your tummy, it might be a better idea to limit your intake of goji berries, cook them before eating them or take them out of your diet until your digestive issues have been resolved. Otherwise, have fun staying happy and healthy!
