When stirred into hot water or simmered in a decoction, it disperses smoothly and yields a warm, naturally sweet infusion with a mild earthy undertone, adding roundness and balance to herbal blends without overpowering them.

It is one of the most common companion herbs in TCM formulas, traditionally added to balance the energies of other botanicals and to lend a naturally sweet, mellow flavor. In everyday food therapy, it appears in herbal tea blends with chrysanthemum, goji berry, or jujube, and in slow-simmered soups as a gentle, harmonizing ingredient.
