Cooked soup with black chicken can nourish the liver and kidney, and benefit qi and blood.
Wu Ji, or black-bone chicken, is sweet in flavor and flat in nature. It belongs to the liver, kidney and lung meridians. It has the function of tonifying the liver and kidney, benefiting qi and blood, and reducing deficiency heat. It can be used for diseases such as yin deficiency, deficiency of liver and kidney, spleen deficiency and slippage, and dysmenorrhea due to deficiency of qi and blood.
Wu Ji is boiled in soup together with white fruit, lotus seed meat, glutinous rice and pepper to tonify the liver and kidney, and benefit qi and blood. It is used for conditions such as red and white leucorrhoea (abnormal leucorrhoea with blood or blood clots), seminal emission and leucorrhoea (cloudy urine like white slurry) when the lower element is weak and exhausted.
Wu Ji, together with cardamom and grass nuts, can be used in soup to warm the middle Jiao, move Qi, astringe the intestines and stop leakage. It is used for those with loose stools, shortness of breath, and even prolapse and incontinence.
However, when used as food, it may not be able to achieve the effect of treating the disease, so it is recommended that patients with treatment needs should consult a doctor in time for systematic treatment under the guidance of the doctor’s diagnosis.
