AHM Properties
Goji berry, known in classical texts as Gou Qi Zi, ranks among the top Liver and Kidney Yin tonics in AHM dietary medicine. It replenishes Blood, supports clear vision, enriches Yin, and moistens the Lung. As a traditional longevity food, it is well matched for dizziness, blurred or dry eyes, lumbar weakness, and Kidney Essence deficiency. The goji berry has long been celebrated as one of the most valued anti-aging foods within the AHM tradition.
Goji berries are rich in polysaccharides, betaine, and zeaxanthin with documented anti-inflammatory activity that supports their AHM role in nourishing Liver Blood and Kidney Yin while clearing deficiency Heat.
Contraindications
