Polygonatum lily chicken soup
Overview
After entering summer, sometimes the palms and soles of the feet will be particularly hot, which is caused by internal heat caused by yin deficiency. In traditional Chinese medicine, exogenous pathogenic factors are divided into six evils: wind, cold, heat, dampness, dryness, and fire. Summer belongs to the heat evil and it is easy to sweat. Sweat is called Jin in Chinese medicine, and Jin is yin fluid. It will damage qi and consume yin, making it easy to cause fatigue. Excessive sweating in summer can cause damage to both Qi and Yin, so the palms of the hands and soles of the feet become hotter and cause sweating. To replenish yin, you can eat more foods that nourish yin and qi, such as Polygonatum odoratum and lily. This soup has a very good antioxidant function, and the ingredients used are all good for moistening the lungs, nourishing yin, and strengthening the spleen and stomach, so it is especially suitable for women who love beauty. In addition to its antioxidant and emollient effects on the skin, this soup also has the effects of moisturizing the lungs and throat.
