Strengthen body and increase stamina with Pat Chan Soup (八珍汤) - Eight Treasure Tonic

I call this one of the Chinese "Jamu". I love the taste of herbal soup and would boil it at leisure. But the norm is people usually drink it a week after menstruation to replenish blood in our body, increase our stamina and strengthen the body. If you have a heaty body in nature, you may want to boil it with more water so that it is like soup texture and less thick.
