Detailed Dietary Tips
Applicable Symptoms
Dry hair, early graying, dull skin, and easy fatigue are all related to insufficient body qi or weak kidney energy. Black sesame can gently nourish the body and is suitable for daily health maintenance.
Ingredients Needed
- Black sesame (raw or roasted) 20 grams
- Millet flour or oat flakes 10 grams (to make the texture smoother)
- A little sugar or honey for flavoring
- Enough water as needed
Specific Steps
- Put the black sesame in a flat pan and stir-fry over low heat for about 2 minutes until you smell the fragrance, being careful not to burn it.
- Pour the roasted black sesame and millet flour into a blender, add about 200 ml of water.
- Blend into a smooth paste.
- Pour into a small pot, heat over low heat while continuously stirring until thickened (about 3-5 minutes).
- Turn off the heat, add sugar or honey and mix well. Consume while warm. Have a small bowl every morning or during afternoon tea.
Why It Works
Black sesame is rich in natural oils, vitamin E, and iron, which can nourish hair and skin. According to traditional Chinese medicine, black sesame enters the kidney meridian, and the kidneys govern hair. Regular consumption can help replenish kidney energy, making hair more lustrous. The unsaturated fatty acids in black sesame can also maintain skin elasticity. When combined with millet flour, it gently nourishes the stomach and aids nutrient absorption. This porridge aligns with nature—black foods correspond to kidney water, especially suitable for consumption during autumn and winter, helping the body store energy, regulate the spleen and stomach, and nourish blood and qi, achieving dietary balance.
Summary
Having a small bowl of black sesame porridge every day is simple and delicious. After maintaining this habit for some time, you will find your hair stronger and your skin smoother. Health preservation lies in persistence; this small change can bring significant differences.
