Do you know that black fungus (Chinese name: \u9ed1\u6728\u8033) is classified as a tonic food in \u795e\u519c\u672c\u8349\u7ecf (an ancient classic collection of medicinal plants and foods dated more than 2,000 years ago)? Let’s learn how can black fungus aid our body in healing and who is suitable (and not suitable) to eat black fungus.<\/p>
The thermal nature of black fungus is neutral. This means that almost everyone can eat it despite of body’s constitution.\u00a0<\/p>
Black fungus has great benefits for the lungs, stomach, and liver organs.<\/p>
For the lungs<\/strong> – Black fungus can moisturize them and promote yin energy. This means it helps to relieve cough due to dryness in the lungs. This makes it a great food to eat during the autumn and winter season of every year.<\/p>
For the stomach<\/strong> – It helps to promote yin energy in the stomach. When a person has a yin deficiency in the stomach, this person will experience a dry mouth and tongue. Some people will even have bad breath and hard stools. The black fungus can help to increase the yin energy in the stomach to relieve the dry mouth and other yin deficient (stomach) symptoms.<\/p>
For the liver<\/strong> – From the TCM perspective, the liver helps to regulate blood in our body. Black fungus can help to stop abnormal bleeding inside our body. It can also help to strengthen our blood and relieve giddiness due to blood deficiency.\u00a0<\/p>
The daily recommendation dosage of black fungus per person is about 3 to 10g (dry ones).<\/p>
People Who Are Not Suitable to Eat Black Fungus<\/h2>
As black fungus can help to regulate bowel movements, people who are having loose stools, or diarrhea, should avoid eating black fungus at the moment.<\/p>
