Burdock root, 牛蒡茶, Niu Bang, is one of the more well known traditional herbs and can even be found at your local supermarket. In Chinese medicine, burdock root is beloved for its profound effects on the body.

Burdock is also called "da li gen" which translates to "big power root'' in Chinese. The ancient story is that it was discovered by a farmer when his ox plowed more quickly after eating wild grass growing at the roadside. The farmer then pulled up the plant and found a huge root below, tasted it and felt refreshed. He collected some of the root and cooked it with turnip as vegetable soup for his family. After a week, the farmer's mother found that her sight had greatly improved, while his previously pale little son had healthy rosy cheeks.

In Chinese medicine, this root is used to unblock energy channels and dispel various pathogenic energies. It is considered cold in essence, so it is able to remove heat and naturally detoxify the body of heat-related conditions and swelling. It is known to treat constipation, sore throat, mumps, tonsillitis and coughing when caused by pathogenic heat.

Burdock root reinforces the Kidney system, purifies Blood, cools internal Heat and strengthens the lymphatic system.

Modern research notes that this root offers anti-aging benefits, reduces high blood sugar, fat and pressure and can restrict cancer cell growth. It helps skin problems including psoriasis, eczema, contact dermatitis and gout. Furthermore, burdock root can reduce inflammation, swelling, pain and Liver damage.

One 2008 study found that topical treatment with a natural burdock extract significantly improved the metabolism of the dermal extracellular matrix and led to a visible wrinkle reduction PMID: 19146605.

It helps aid digestion by removing food retention, helps gastrointestinal conditions and digestion due to its high inulin and mucilage and bitter components, promotes bowel movements, helps defecation, reduces the accumulation of toxins and waste in the body.

Many Western women like to eat chocolate for comfort during their period, but Japanese women like to eat black sugar, while Chinese women go one step further to take warm brown sugar drinks which are enhanced with other nursing ingredients such as ginger, jujube, or goji berries. That's why Chinese brown sugar got named "oriental chocolate" [1].

Chinese brown sugar has been used for thousands of years in Chinese medicine and alongside Asian cultures. It is made up almost entirely of sugar cane which has a long list of benefits and is not the same as the brown sugar seen in Western supermarkets. After being pressed to remove any bacteria and impurities, it is evaporated over fire to transform to thick brown sugar. The longer it's cooked, the darker the color. There is no chemical method used to extract it so by its nature, it contains iron, calcium, vitamin A and its original minerals like magnesium because it's unrefined. Black sugar is an alternative name.

According to Chinese medicine, it has amazing benefits:
〰️Tonifies (strengthens) the middle Jiao which is the core of digestion— the Stomach, Liver and Spleen, the areas where food is converted to energy and Blood.
〰️Warms the Stomach, expels coldness, dampness to stop pain— very beneficial to those with painful periods, diarrhea and cold extremities.
〰️Nourishes Blood, removes wind and cold, and activates Blood to remove stagnation.
〰️Soothes the Liver and brightens eyes— the Liver governs high eye health and detoxification.
〰️Benefits the intestines to promote good bowel movements
〰️Great for postpartum— drink for 7-10 days after childbirth to increase energy and strengthen the body, increase Blood and lactation, and heal the uterus.
〰️During the period it helps the uterus expel more toxins and reduce pain in the abdomen

You can consume it in your Ginger Power tea or just in warm water or tea. Just like everything, consume moderately, because it's so warming to the body. I love to put it in my red bean soup that I have a reel making.

You can purchase Chinese brown sugar at Asian food markets or online, it’s normally sold in 1-pound bricks that separate into wafers.

Black sesame seeds are full of calcium, iron, magnesium, healthy fats, protein, B vitamins, minerals, fiber, and several essential antioxidants.

⚫️ In Chinese medicine, black sesame seeds, 黑芝麻 hei zhi ma, are used regularly and beloved for their properties and their actions in supporting the body.

“Taking black sesame seeds can heal all chronic illnesses after 100 days, improve skin tone on body and face after 1 year, reverse gray hair after 2 years, and regrow teeth after 3 years.” — from the Compendium of Materia Medica, the largest and most comprehensive medical writings in the history of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

⚫️ In TCM, the color of food provides an important clue to some of its properties. Black foods nourish the Kidneys— supporting the reproductive systems, strengthening bones, increasing libido, and favoring longevity.

What makes these little seeds amazing?
〰️Strengthen the Kidney and Liver meridians— helping our complexion, hair and nails
〰️Tonify Yin, which is essential for aging healthfully for our skin, for our joints and for our reproductive organs
〰️Tonify Jing which is our life essence stored in the Kidneys
〰️Tonify Blood which is essential to a healthy life
〰️Help build our Shen which is our Spirit and mind

Chlorella in the books of, Healing with Whole Foods Asian Traditions and Modern Nutrition By Paul Pitchford:

Chlorella, is known as another form of algae food that's high in nutritional value like spirulina, but with twice the nucleic acid and chlorophyll. It's also considered the least cooling, very tonifying, gentle with cleansing the body and the safest use for deficiencies of the body.

The important factors are binding with heavy metals, pesticides and other carcinogens like PCBs (polychlorobiphenyls) and carries these toxins out of the bodily system.

Chlorella contains a great quantity of fatty acids than either spirulina or wild blue-green. It's about 20% of the fatty acids being artery-cleansing, omega-3 and alpha-linolenic varieties; leading to a few reasons chlorella can be effective in reducing cholesterol and a prevention of atherosclerosis.

These information are by no means to promote the intake of Chlorella, but to share important facts of the foods related to use of modern nutrition and asian traditions together.
