Its nature is sweet and neutral, making it a mild yet profoundly nourishing herb suitable for daily food-therapy use.

It is a classic ingredient in longevity formulas and seasonal tonics, often paired with chrysanthemum for eye support, with jujube for gentle blood nourishment, and with Yu Zhu for yin-moistening soups.
