Jujube is a traditional health supplement and is known as one of the "Three Treasures of Health". It is particularly suitable for women, as it has the effects of beauty, blood nourishment, and regulating menstruation. Below, we will introduce several methods of taking jujube.
The most remarkable feature of jujube is its strong ability to replenish qi and blood. Jujube contains abundant protein and trace elements, including a component called serine, which is essential for protein synthesis in the human body.
For women, consuming jujube in daily life can supplement the necessary amount of iron, thereby accelerating the production of blood in the body. It plays a very good role in replenishing qi and blood and conditioning the body, especially for women with anemia or malnutrition.
Jujube can be used to nourish blood during menstruation, whether it is before, during, or after the menstrual period. However, jujube should not be used during the menstrual period for those with blood stasis or excessive menstrual flow. For those with obvious blood deficiency, jujube alone is not enough and must be combined with other Chinese herbs.
According to traditional Chinese medicine, qi and blood are closely related, so jujube can be cooked with 20 grams of jujube, 20 grams of astragalus, and an appropriate amount of brown sugar and glutinous rice to make a "double nourishing qi and blood porridge".
The jujube commonly seen on the market is often made into jujube blocks, which are hard in texture. If possible, the jujube can be ground into powder and soaked in hot water before consumption.
However, it should be noted that consuming too much jujube can easily cause internal heat. Therefore, when consuming jujube, it is recommended to add some Chinese herbs for better effects, such as wolfberry and American ginseng, which can greatly enhance the benefits.
If women frequently experience problems such as irregular menstruation, scanty menstrual flow, dysmenorrhea, and insomnia, or if men have problems with kidney deficiency or short "endurance", consuming more jujube can effectively improve these adverse reactions.
Therefore, jujube is a good medicinal material suitable for people of all ages. Children above 10 years old can also benefit from its consumption, as it helps in brain development with excellent results.
