Mai Dong, Sha Shen and American Ginseng Congee

Why people make this congee

When the seasons turn, plenty of folks find their nose gets dry, stuffy and over-reactive. In traditional Chinese food therapy, allergic-type nasal symptoms are tied to the lungs, spleen and kidneys not moving qi smoothly. This congee leans on three gentle herbs to moisten the lungs and quietly support qi, and it is aimed at the warm, dry constitution rather than the cold, watery type.
