1, wormwood stewed chicken soup is a traditional nourishing soup of Hakka people, with excellent nourishing effect. It is said that local women in Meizhou must drink wormwood chicken soup in confinement. In fact, it is not only very suitable for women with postpartum weakness, but also has the effect of nourishing and warming the stomach for men. Wormwood stew chicken soup can regulate menstruation, replenish blood, dispel wind, warm stomach, clear away heat and toxic materials, calm liver and purge fire, dispel wind and remove dampness, diminish inflammation and relieve cough. It has certain curative effect on dysmenorrhea, irregular menstruation, palace cold and miscarriage prevention. Because the old hen has a good effect of expelling wind, it is generally used in wormwood soup.

Besides nourishing, this soup tastes very attractive. The fragrance of vegetation, coupled with the sweetness of chicken, is very comfortable to drink and warms the stomach. But to make wormwood soup with good taste and efficacy, the selection of materials is very particular. The wormwood used to make this soup is not fresh wormwood, but wormwood picked before the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. Only after drying can it be used, so that the wormwood is fragrant enough, while the wormwood after Qingming is bitter and no longer suitable for use.
