Goji berry and Steamed Rehmannia are two of the primary Jing tonic herbs used in Chinese tonic herbalism. They are both superb Yin Jing tonics that tonify the Kidney Yin. Goji berry is singularly the most popular tonic herb used throughout Asia. It restores Jing and helps build strong blood. It supports the metabolic functions and supports the immune system. It supports the eyes and vision, and has been shown to support other senses as well. It is renowned for its mood supporting effects. And it is one of the primary herbs used to strengthen sexual functions in both healthy aging men and healthy aging women.

Steamed Rehmannia is said to be the "Kidney's own food." It is a fundamental Kidney tonic in Chinese tonic herbalism.

It is considered rejuvenating.  Steamed Rehmannia is a fundamental Yin Jing tonic, providing Yin support to the Kidney. It is quick and effective. Steamed Rehmannia is said to benefit sexual functions in men and women.
