Goji berries are a wonder food that is nicknamed “treasure tree” and “medicine tree” for their curative properties. Their tender stalks and leaves are a great source of fiber, while their fruit and root bark can be used for medicinal purposes. Goji berries can help improve the immune system and are good for internal organs and blood circulation. Even people with a weak constitution can consume them. They can also help prevent greying and thinning hair, as they aid the body’s circulation and promote hair growth. Here is a simple recipe for goji and chrysanthemum tea.
