Hen is a female, which has the functions of invigorating qi and nourishing blood, invigorating spleen and tonifying deficiency, and is suitable for nourishing people with yin deficiency and qi deficiency. Especially for women with blood deficiency during menstruation or postpartum, it also has the effect of enriching blood. Compared with roosters, hens are more suitable for all ages, especially the elderly with weak constitution. However, you can't nourish yourself too much.

In the way of eating, hens are generally used to stew soup, and cocks are suitable for quick frying. Because hens have a lot of fat, the nutrients in meat are easily dissolved in soup, and the stewed chicken soup tastes more delicious.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that cock belongs to Yang, which has a strong warming and tonifying effect, and is suitable for patients with yang deficiency and weak qi, but not for patients with hypertension and cancer. Hens are yin in nature, and their nourishing effect is mild and slow, which is suitable for lying-in women, the elderly, the sick and the disabled.
