Instructions for Use: Dried Mulberries

A traditional reference amount is 12–30 g of dried fruit per day, depending on individual needs and professional advice. Remove damaged berries, rinse briefly and drain before preparing.

1. Brew fruit tea

Place the fruit in a teapot, add hot water and steep until softened. Red dates may be added for extra natural sweetness.

2. Cook sweet soup or porridge

Add the rinsed fruit near the end of cooking lotus seed dessert or porridge. Simmer gently until tender.

3. Prepare a herbal decoction

For medicinal preparations, follow an Herb doctor’s directions rather than increasing the amount yourself.

4. Traditional herbal combinations

• Blood nourishment: Sang Shen with Dang Gui (Angelica root).
• Yin and fluid nourishment: Sang Shen with Mai Men Dong (Ophiopogon root).
• Liver and Kidney support: Sang Shen with Shu Di Huang (prepared Rehmannia root) and Nu Zhen Zi (glossy privet fruit), when professionally recommended.
