Interesting read! I’ve tried a few congee recipes for general health, but never with dragon bone.
Interesting! I’ve always been curious about how
Interesting read! My grandmother used to swear by congee for all sorts of ailments. Never heard of adding dragon bone for spermatorrhea though—fascinating how TCM treats both men and women with similar formulas. Might give this a try for my own sleep issues, since it mentions calming the heart. Thanks for sharing!
