In traditional Chinese practice, Huang Jing has long been valued as a tonic herb and is traditionally associated with nourishing qi and yin. Nine-times steaming and drying is a classic folk processing method believed to mellow its flavor and reduce any raw irritation. Traditionally it is eaten on its own, simmered in soups, cooked into congee, or steeped with goji berries and other herbs, especially in autumn and winter.
