Candied Dates (Honey Dates) – Mi Zao is the jujube date (Da Zao) stir-fried in honey to enhance its therapeutic effects on digestion and mood. It can be helpful to use in cases of anorexia, shortness of breath, loose stools, severe emotional instability, fatigue, and restlessness. Eat Mi zao to address:

Weak digestion
Recovering from convalescence (e.g. long illness)
Chronic trouble maintaining weight/nutrition
Fatigue & weakness
Poor absorption of nutrients
emotional instability & anhedonic mood states

Other thoughts about this herb: The (Honey-fried) jujube date is one of the main herbs used in TCM to “harmonize” formulas … so this is a good one to have around if you are taking a number of different herbs and supplements, because it has the quality of helping to blend the different energies and constituents of widely different herbs, nutrients, and other minerals into something your body can more easily recognize and absorb into the body.

Herbal Ingredients:

Candied Dates (Honey Dates) – Mi zao premium raw herb

Suggested Usage for Candied Dates (Honey Dates) – Mi Zao:

This “herb” is food, so there is no “dosage” as such, although they are quite high in sugar content. You can eat the dates singly, cook them into oatmeal, porridge, or congee, which is a good prep method for folks with very weak digestion that are having trouble keeping enough food down to recover from a weakened state. They are also yummy baked into cakes, cookies, muffins, etc.
