Roasted licorice in the formula has a sweet and neutral nature. Its main function is to nourish yin and blood, and it has the effects of invigorating the middle qi, relieving pain, clearing heat and detoxifying, and harmonizing various medicines. However, remember to avoid spicy food when taking this formula, and it is also not suitable to be used with seaweed, gardenia, croton, and Euphorbia kansui to avoid affecting its efficacy.

If you don't want to use roasted licorice, you can omit it. You can use only papaya and dried plum, or use only one of them. If you don't like the sour taste, you can also add an appropriate amount of honey or ice sugar. In addition, we can also use papaya to cook pork ribs, which has the effects of nourishing yin, clearing heat, promoting skin healing, moisturizing and nourishing the skin.

The specific method is: chop 250g of pork ribs into pieces, blanch them in boiling water to remove the blood water, then put them in a pot with 50g of washed peanuts with skin and a small piece of crushed ginger, add about 1000ml of water, bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer over low heat. At the same time, peel and remove seeds from 300g of papaya and cut it into large pieces. When the pork ribs have been simmered for about 1 hour and are fully cooked, add the papaya and cook for another 10-20 minutes. Season with salt and it's ready to serve.
