Adenophora, Asparagus Root and Ophiopogon Congee (Sha Shen Er Dong Zhou)

Why people make this congee

An overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism) is an endocrine imbalance, and people living with it often feel run-down yet wired: sweating, heat intolerance, big appetite but weight loss, talkative and on edge, restless, with poor sleep, palpitations, facial flushing, trembling, warm palms and protruding eyes. This congee is traditionally taken as a gentle, cooling support — it’s associated with nourishing yin, moistening dryness and calming that inner restlessness and heat.
