Yam, lotus and barley soup

Overview

Chinese yam is used as food and medicine. It is sweet in taste and warm in nature. It has the effects of nourishing the spleen and stomach, stopping diarrhea and nourishing the kidneys. It is suitable for people with weak spleen and stomach and loss of appetite. Wild yams are used here. There are different varieties of wild yams, and some will change color after peeling, but this does not affect consumption. Barley is sweet, light, and cool in nature. It has the effects of strengthening the spleen and replenishing qi, clearing away heat and promoting diuresis. It is mainly used to treat diarrhea, edema, stranguria, vaginal discharge, and cervical cancer. Lotus seeds are sweet in taste and neutral in nature. They can nourish the spleen and stomach, stop diarrhea, nourish the kidneys and astringent essence, and nourish the heart. This soup tonifies the spleen and kidneys, and can assist in the treatment of physical weakness and leucorrhea caused by spleen deficiency.
