Red jujube, i.e. jujube, is sweet and warm in nature and belongs to the category of qi tonic, with the effects of tonifying the middle Jiao (treating qi deficiency by tonifying the spleen), nourishing the blood and calming the mind (stabilizing the mind and soothing the emotions by nourishing the blood). It is mainly used for spleen qi deficiency such as unformed stools, and blood deficiency such as yellowish complexion (yellowish color with no luster). Jujube can help generate dampness and heat, so people with dampness-heat syndrome or phlegm-heat syndrome should be cautious of using it. 2. Colla Corii Asini is sweet and flat, belonging to the blood tonic medicine, with the effect of tonifying blood, stopping bleeding, nourishing yin and moistening the lungs (replenishing the body’s yin to nourish the lungs), and is mainly used in cases of blood deficiency, such as a yellowish face (yellowish face without luster), bleeding cases, such as heavy menstruation, and cases of lung yin deficiency, such as a dry cough without phlegm, etc. It is also used in cases of weak stomach and weak digestion. It should be used with caution for those with weak spleen and stomach and indigestion.
