First, let's take a look at mussels. Mussels, also known as seaweed, are a marine plant that is rich in minerals such as iodine, calcium, iron, and a variety of vitamins. In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, mussels return to the liver, kidneys, lungs, and heart meridians, and have the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, softening and dispersing knots, and moistening the intestines and laxative. Among them, the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying is very beneficial for reducing fire.
Let's take a look at the salty bones. Salted bone refers to the salted pork bone, which is rich in collagen and bone collagen, and has the effect of nourishing yin and moisturizing dryness, nourishing blood and calming the nerves. The smell of salt in the kidneys can enhance the function of the kidneys and help reduce the fire in the body.
The combination of mussels and salted bones forms mussel salted bones to dispel fire porridge. This recipe is mainly aimed at people with heavy breath and heavy smoking, who tend to have heavier fire in their bodies, resulting in symptoms such as heavy breath and dry mouth. By consuming mussel salted bone porridge, it can effectively reduce the fire in the body and alleviate these symptoms.
