July is a month connected especially
with blood circulation. Learn how to
improve your blood circulation and

46 Deng Shen
Deng shen is an herb certainly worthy
of note. One does not hear so much
about it, and that’s a shame, for herbalists
call it the “poor man’s ginseng.” It’s

effects on the body. It fights
fatigue, increases the libido and the resulting
effects, helps with high blood
pressure, and can bring the body back
into shape after surgery.
