The significance of complexion for a woman is self-evident. A rosy complexion and smooth skin will make you look young and full of vitality, while a dull and sallow complexion will make you look old and lackluster. In the present day, women often have to endure various pressures from family and work, and the problem of poor complexion troubles many people. For this reason, they often choose to cover it up with layers of makeup instead of addressing the root cause. If women want to have a good complexion, blood supplementation is crucial. Today, we will recommend several dietary methods for blood supplementation.
Si Wu Tang (Four Substances Decoction)
This is a traditional medicinal food that nourishes and replenishes blood. It is recorded in medical books from the Tang Dynasty. It uses four Chinese medicinal herbs: dang gui, bai shao, shu di, and chuan xiong. They are boiled together and consumed, or these herbs are placed in a gauze bag and cooked with other ingredients in a soup. This not only moisturizes women's complexion but also has a good effect on relieving dysmenorrhea and menstrual irregularities.
Hong Zao Xiao Mi Zhou (Red Date and Millet Porridge)
The prominent medicinal value of red dates is blood supplementation and nourishment. When cooked with millet, it not only becomes fragrant and sticky but also has the effects of replenishing qi and blood and strengthening the spleen and stomach.
Prepare an appropriate amount of millet and red dates. First, wash the ingredients clean and cut the large red dates into small pieces. Then put the rice and dates in a clay pot and pour in an appropriate amount of water. Bring it to a boil over high heat and then simmer over low heat. When the porridge becomes soft and mushy, it is ready to be served.
Yin Er Nan Gua Tang (Snow Fungus and Pumpkin Soup)
Snow fungus has a sweet taste and neutral nature. It is rich in various nutrients and has excellent nourishing effects on women's skin. Pumpkin is also a good blood supplement. When cooked together in a soup, it is a perfect combination.
First, remove the stem of the snow fungus and wash it with warm water. Clean the pumpkin and cut it into pieces. Then add an appropriate amount of water to a pot and add the soaked snow fungus. Bring it to a boil over high heat. When the water boils, reduce the heat to low. When the soup starts to thicken, add the pumpkin pieces. Continue to simmer over low heat until the pumpkin becomes soft. Add an appropriate amount of rock sugar to taste and it is ready to be consumed.
Bo Cai Zhu Gan Tang (Spinach and Pig Liver Soup)
Both spinach and pig liver are rich in vitamins and trace elements such as iron, which can have excellent blood supplement effects. Cooking them in a soup can greatly benefit the regulation of women's complexion. The preparation method is also very simple.
First, clean the spinach and drain it. Wash the pig liver and soak it in clean water for half an hour. Then take it out and slice it. Add starch, salt, cooking wine, and other seasonings to mix well. Add an appropriate amount of water to a pot and add a few slices of ginger. Bring it to a boil over high heat. When the water boils, add the spinach leaves. When the spinach turns darker in color, add the marinated pig liver and quickly stir with chopsticks. Reduce the heat to medium and continue stirring while observing until the pig liver no longer shows any signs of blood. Turn off the heat and add the appropriate amount of seasonings before serving.
