Scientific tonic, healthy as a tiger.

Winter is the time when the kidney governs, so it is necessary to conform to the natural law that the kidney governs the storage of essence, and the yang will germinate after the winter solstice. Moderate tonic in winter can nourish the five internal organs, strengthen the body resistance and cultivate vitality, thus promoting the rise of yang in the body, enhancing resistance and preventing the epidemic of febrile diseases in spring.
Winter tonic is first of all food tonic.
