Introduction to Tianqi Powder

Tianqi can be consumed when ground into a powder form. Tianqi powder offers numerous benefits and is convenient to consume, simply by dissolving it in warm water. It is suitable for individuals with hypertension, anemia, low immunity, and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Regular consumption of Tianqi powder can significantly enhance immunity. Adding honey to Tianqi powder can improve its taste, but many people are unaware of the proper methods for consuming Tianqi. Let's explore when it is best to consume Tianqi.

Best Times to Consume Tianqi

1. After waking up in the morning, the body is at its most needy for nutritional supplementation. Consuming Tianqi powder at this time is akin to a thirsty person drinking water, as all nutrients can be effectively absorbed. Therefore, the absorption of Tianqi powder is excellent at this time.

2. Tianqi can be consumed throughout the year, with November being a particularly good month for consumption. Tianqi usually buds in July, flowers in August, fruits in September, and the fruits mature from October to November. Tianqi roots and stems are used medicinally during this period, and they are considered precious Chinese medicinal herbs. Raw Tianqi can stop bleeding, dissolve blood clots, reduce swelling, and relieve pain. It is a main component of Yunnan Baiyao, and the leaves and flowers of the same plant can also be used medicinally as a tea.

3. Tianqi powder is best absorbed when consumed on an empty stomach, approximately one and a half to two hours before or after meals (except for individuals with a tendency to have cold stomachs). Therefore, taking Tianqi powder on an empty stomach in the morning or two hours before bedtime is most effective.

Methods of Consuming Tianqi

4. There are two main methods of consuming Tianqi: raw and cooked. Raw Tianqi primarily functions to activate blood circulation and dissipate blood stasis. Cooked Tianqi has the effect of nourishing blood and tonifying the body, suitable for individuals with weak constitutions. This is the principle of "raw for activating and cooked for nourishing." The specific method of consumption depends on your purpose and focus when using Tianqi.
