Yam and chestnut porridge

There are many foods that can nourish the kidneys and strengthen yang. Today I will introduce to you a kidney-nourishing dish - yam and chestnut porridge.

Chinese Yam - a holy product for nourishing the kidney. "Compendium of Materia Medica" says: "It is best to use it raw in yin-nourishing medicines, and to stir-fry it until it turns yellow in spleen and lung-nourishing medicines." "It is a food, and although its qi is warm, it is flat, and it nourishes the yin of the spleen and lungs. Therefore, it can moisturize the skin and hair, grow muscles, and tastes sweet and salty, and it can also nourish the kidneys and strengthen yin."

Chestnut - the fruit of the kidney. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that chestnuts are sweet and warm in nature, non-toxic, and have the effects of "tonifying qi and spleen, strengthening the stomach and intestines, strengthening the kidneys and tendons, and activating blood circulation and stopping bleeding". Lycium barbarum - tonifies the kidneys and improves eyesight. Treats liver and kidney yin deficiency, improves essence and improves eyesight.
