The 20 15 edition of China Pharmacopoeia officially describes the efficacy and indications of Lycium barbarum:

Lycium barbarum is sweet and flat in nature, belonging to the liver and kidney meridian, so it has the effect of nourishing liver and kidney and benefiting shrewdness. Therefore, if symptoms such as waist and knee pain, dizziness and tinnitus, blurred vision, sallow complexion, excessive internal heat and polydipsia, impotence and nocturnal emission caused by female yin deficiency often occur, it will have a certain health care effect if you don't prevent eating Lycium barbarum in your life.

Lycium barbarum L. contains Lycium barbarum polysaccharides, carotenoids, flavonoids, etc. It is the active component of Lycium barbarum L., and also plays a certain role in improving immunity and antioxidation.

Lycium barbarum, as a kind of traditional Chinese medicine food with homology of medicine and food, is taken according to medicine or as needed. Two points are particularly important. The first is the time of taking, that is, attention should be paid to chronopharmacology. The second is the way to adopt.

The best way to eat is to eat dry, chew a few tablets half an hour before going to bed, and brush your teeth before going to bed. Lycium barbarum has a high sugar content and can obviously feel sweet. Of course, soaking in water is also possible, just drink water and eat meat.

Lycium barbarum is actually very similar to cranberries. It is also a very good way to use it instead of cranberries when baking cookies.

Lycium barbarum itself is a bit weak. If it can be used with other ingredients, the effect of tonifying liver and kidney yin deficiency will be greatly increased. For example, medlar+chrysanthemum, medlar+paste, medlar+Ziziphus jujuba seeds are all good ways to eat.

As a good tonic, healthy adults should eat 6~ 12 grams of Lycium barbarum every day. It doesn't matter if you eat more, but you can't overdo it. Excessive use of Lycium barbarum can lead to adverse reactions such as excessive internal heat and red eye. After all, the role of several medlars is limited, and the health care role of medlars cannot be expanded.

This point is emphasized separately because Lycium barbarum is actually easy to deteriorate, especially if it is left for a long time or the storage conditions are not suitable, it is easy to become sticky and deteriorate. It is best to seal and refrigerate, and the sealed medlar is easy to absorb moisture and deteriorate.
