Spinach is a common wild vegetable in life. It is a highly nutritious food material that not only supplements nutrients but also has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying. It has many benefits for the body and can also treat acne. Let's learn about the efficacy and function of spinach below!
[The Efficacy and Function of Spinach]
1. Clearing heat and detoxifying
Spinach contains rich proteins, fats, vitamins, and amino acids. These substances will form a new substance during the absorption process in the human body, which has good efficacy in clearing heat and detoxifying.
2. Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory
Spinach has the effects of clearing heat, promoting diuresis, stopping diarrhea, and reducing inflammation. It has a strong inhibitory effect on various bacteria such as dysentery bacillus and Escherichia coli, and is known as "natural antibiotic".
3. Diuresis and dampness elimination
Spinach is cold in nature, with a sour and slightly sweet taste. Eating spinach can promote diuresis and dampness elimination. Regular consumption of spinach can also help with bowel movements and enhance immunity.
[Methods to Remove Acne with Spinach]
1. First, wash the spinach clean, remove the roots, and use a juicer to squeeze it into juice. Then put it in a refrigerator at a temperature of 4-8℃ for 2 hours, and it will naturally separate into two layers. The upper layer is dark green and the lower layer is light red. Pour out the upper layer and pour the lower layer of juice into a glass container for later use.
2. Spread out the mask paper, apply 15 grams of prepared spinach juice evenly on the mask paper, and then wrap it on the face. Use it once a day for 20 minutes each time, and it will take about half a month to see results.
3. When using homemade spinach mask, avoid applying it on skin wounds. If the skin is sensitive, you can slightly reduce the concentration of spinach juice. If the skin is sensitive, you can dilute it with purified water moderately, or try it on a small piece of skin first. If there is no problem, you can use it. If any allergic reactions occur, stop using it immediately.
[People Who Should Avoid Spinach]

If you have diarrhea caused by cold stimulation in the abdomen, you should eat less spinach because spinach itself has diuretic and digestive functions, which will worsen the condition.
2. Pregnant women
Spinach is slippery and can cause miscarriage risks for pregnant women.
3. People taking certain Chinese medicines
Spinach is incompatible with turtle shell, so if the prescribed medicine contains turtle shell, you must avoid eating spinach.
