Black sesame is really good food and rich in nutrition. It is highly recommended to eat a spoonful every day, which can supplement a variety of minerals and has practical health care effects. Black sesame is very common, but many friends don't eat it very much. Generally, black sesame seeds can only be added by spices and cakes. In fact, the nutritional components of black sesame are likely to be more colorful than everyone thinks. The appearance design of black sesame is really close to the kidney, so many people think that eating black sesame can tonify kidney and strengthen yang. However, in fact, black sesame is probably not a Chinese herbal medicine for strengthening the kidney at all. Because of its rich nutrition, it also contains many beneficial chemicals, which is beneficial to the repair of kidney. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine.
The five elements of traditional Chinese medicine believe that black is relative to the kidney, and black food is beneficial to the kidney. Black is the hue that controls water and wetness, and the attribute of kidney is "water". Kidney is the key organ to regulate humidity in human body, and black sesame is just a good choice to match kidney. Black sesame is a good product, known as the "best elixir" for tonifying kidney and strengthening yang and protecting kidney. However, the general eating method is not easy to be digested, and white sesame seeds often "pass through the intestines" and have not got the due effect. Black sesame, also known as flaxseed and sesame oil, is pungent and warm. Entering the meridians of liver, kidney and small intestine has the functions of warming kidney yang, nourishing kidney blood and moistening intestine dryness. The ancients called black sesame an elixir. "Compendium of Materia Medica" says: "Taking (black sesame) for a hundred days can eliminate all kinds of chronic diseases. One year, the body luster is not hungry, two years of white hair turns black, and three years of tooth regeneration. "
The original function of black sesame is to tonify kidney and strengthen yang, benefit qi and nourish blood, but it is damp and hot, so it is not suitable to eat more. If it is to be used for nourishing yin and reducing fire, it is usually taken at the end of grinding. There is nothing to eat, it is very easy to irritate the throat, and the actual effect is not good. It is also generally recommended to take it with boiling water, usually one spoonful a day. However, young people should try not to abuse it, because if they feel that they have kidney deficiency and take tonic, it will lead to the problem of internal fire due to cold and dampness, leading to nosebleeds and so on! The old doctor put different colors of ingredients into the five internal organs of the body: bright red goes deep into people's hearts, turquoise goes into the liver, yellow goes into the spleen, milky white goes into the lungs, and black goes into the kidneys. Hair is closely related to kidney, and black sesame can prevent hair loss when it enters kidney. But if you are chronic gastroenteritis or someone prone to diarrhea, you should not eat more.
