Springtime spinach medicinal value

Spinach is known for its ability to nourish yin and support overall health. It can be particularly beneficial in addressing conditions such as high blood pressure, headaches, dizziness, diabetes, and anemia—common issues that often arise from liver yin deficiency during spring. Here are some simple and effective ways to prepare spinach to enhance its therapeutic benefits: 1. **For high blood pressure, headaches, dizziness, and constipation**: Boil 100 grams of fresh spinach with its roots for about 3 minutes. Remove and mix with a bit of sesame oil. This dish can be consumed twice daily to help relieve symptoms. 2. **For blurred vision, dizziness, and limb tremors**: Combine 200 grams of fresh spinach with fresh oysters. Boil the spinach briefly in a small amount of broth, then add thinly sliced oysters. Season with salt, sesame oil, and a pinch of MSG. This recipe helps to clear the liver and improve eyesight. 3. **For dry, tired eyes**: Use 500 grams of fresh spinach and 500 grams of goat liver. First, cook the goat liver in boiling water, then add the spinach and simmer together. Season with salt, sesame oil, and MSG. This soup supports liver health and eye function. 4. **For iron-deficiency anemia, blood stasis, bloody stools, and scurvy**: Cook 500 grams of fresh spinach with 500 grams of pig’s blood. Stir-fry the pig blood first, then add it to a pot with broth, wine, salt, pepper, and spinach. Cook until the liquid is absorbed. This soup helps to nourish the blood and promote yin balance. However, it's important to note that spinach contains a high level of oxalic acid, which can interfere with calcium absorption. To reduce this, it's best to blanch spinach in boiling water before cooking, then drain and stir-fry. For infants and young children, who have higher calcium needs, or those suffering from tuberculosis, rickets, kidney stones, or diarrhea, it's advisable to limit or avoid spinach consumption.
