FROM NATURE
Goji Berry
Name Goji Berry
Key Benefits Energy Restoration, Eye Health, Fatigue Relief
Goji berry is recorded in the Donguibogam as an ingredient that “nourishes the liver and kidneys, and brightens the eyes.” It was traditionally prescribed to treat heoro (虛勞)—a state of deep exhaustion where the body and mind are depleted beyond ordinary fatigue.
Goji berry’s key compounds—polysaccharides (LBP), betaine, and zeaxanthin—help restore what chronic fatigue has worn away. While ginseng energizes by boosting gi (氣), goji berry nourishes by replenishing jeong (精). When used with warm water, these compounds absorb through the skin, helping restore depleted energy from the root.
