7 Recommended Supplements for Women
Tremella and Red Date Soup
Tremella, also known as the "poor man's bird's nest," is similar to bird's nest in terms of color, texture, and effects, but it is much more affordable. Soak the tremella in warm water for 30 minutes. After it has fully expanded, rinse it with clean water, remove the roots, tear it into small pieces, and put it into a pot. Add water (enough to cover all the ingredients) and bring it to a boil. Add cleaned red dates and rock sugar, then simmer for about 10 minutes. Reduce the heat and simmer for another 1.5 hours. Serve.
Black Glutinous Rice Blood Tonic Congee
Wash the black glutinous rice and soak it in cold water for 1 hour, then drain. Put the rice into a pot, add water and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 40 minutes. Add dried longan and red dates, and continue to simmer for another 20 minutes. Finally, add rock sugar to taste.
A little reminderAlthough longan can nourish blood and promote blood circulation, it is not easily digestible. It is recommended to consume only 7 or 8 pieces each time (people with cold stomach can add 2 slices of red ginseng).
Oatmeal Congee for Beauty and Blood Tonic
Soak walnuts, red dates, and dried longan in water. Rinse the oatmeal and put it into an electric rice cooker. Add an appropriate amount of water and cook it. Remember to keep an eye on the time. Once the congee starts boiling, switch to the congee mode and add some brown sugar before serving.
Double Red Blood Tonic Soup
500g sweet potatoes, 10g red dates, and an appropriate amount of rock sugar. Add 2000ml of water to a pot and bring it to a boil. When the sweet potatoes are cooked, add the rock sugar. If you prefer pumpkin, you can replace sweet potatoes with pumpkin.
Astragalus, Red Date, and Pork Rib Soup
One piece of pork rib, wolfberries, 12 red dates, and 4 pieces of astragalus. Blanch the pork ribs in boiling water and rinse off the blood. Put the ribs, wolfberries, red dates, astragalus, spring onion, and ginger slices into a clay pot. Bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer over low heat until the pork ribs are tender. Season with salt and chicken essence.
Papaya and Tremella Soup
Peel and seed the papaya, wash the lotus seeds. Soak the tremella and wolfberries in cold water for about 30 minutes, then tear the tremella into small pieces. Prepare all the ingredients and put them into a pot with an appropriate amount of water. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat. Add the papaya pieces, wolfberries, and rock sugar, and simmer for about 30 minutes. Turn off the heat and the nourishing papaya and tremella soup is ready to serve.
Soybean, Pear, and Pig Trotter Soup
1 pear, 50g soybeans, half a pig trotter, 3 slices of ginger, salt. Blanch the pig trotter with ginger to remove any unpleasant smell, then cut it into pieces.

Cover and continue to simmer over high heat for 15 minutes, then reduce the heat and simmer for another hour. Season with salt according to personal taste before serving.
