Ever since I got Xiaobao, my body's functions have been obviously aging, memory loss, shortness of breath, weakness, limb weakness, insomnia, headache, and stiff fingers. Reluctantly went to a Chinese medicine doctor. The doctor said it was caused by qi deficiency and blood deficiency. He prescribed a Chinese medicine health treatment method, which is to stew with old hen, angelica and astragalus, eat meat and soup, and just eat a few pieces. I talked to my husband when I got home, and my husband hurried to find someone to buy a free-range hen on the mountain, kill it and eat it now, the only thing is not to put salt, otherwise the effect of the medicine will be discounted. In the end, it took 4 hours to simmer. The soup is sweet and delicious, and the meat is soft and tender, and it feels pretty good.

Tips:
The older the hen, the longer it will take to cook. A hen soup is suitable to be consumed in 2 days, otherwise it will not be fresh. If you want to achieve the best results, don't add salt. If you really eat it, you can put 2 grams of salt in the soup to taste at the end, but the effect will be discounted.
