The skin is considered to be a part of the lung function and asparagus root has great benefits for the skin. Prolonged consumption sees the skin becoming soft, supple, and smooth, as good skin is the result of pure blood and healthy lungs. Asparagus root is great for those that have dry skin due to a dry environment or internal dryness.
Asparagus root opens up the heart centre, allowing Shen to flourish. It manifests as feelings of goodwill, patience, and peace of mind.
Asparagus root is believed to enhance feelings of love and compassion when taken regularly. It contains steroidal glycosides, and this may be why it has a reputation for increasing these positive feelings.

Asparagus root is also a restorative tonic for the female reproductive system and it can enhance fertility, relieve menstrual cramps, and improve the flow of breast milk. It can also help to relieve the swelling associated with rheumatism, bloating, and soothing dryness of the throat.
