- Almonds
Chinese medicine believes that almonds are bitter and warm to disperse the lungs, moisten the intestines and relax the bowels, and are only suitable for diseases such as wind pathogens and intestinal dryness. For those with yin deficiency and stagnation of fire, it is not advisable to take a single herb orally for a long time. Such as tuberculosis, bronchitis, chronic enteritis, dry cough without phlegm, etc., it is contraindicated to take a single medicine for a long time. Modern research has found that people with hair loss are more likely to be deficient in vitamin B6, vitamin E, iron, and zinc. In addition, a high-fat diet can cause an increase in male testosterone, which can lead to hair loss. Almonds are rich in vitamin E and zinc, which can lower cholesterol and are superfoods for curing hair loss.
Almonds also have beauty effects. Modern research has proved that the fatty oil contained in bitter almonds can soften the cuticle of the skin, moisturize dry skin, protect nerve endings, blood vessels, tissues, and organs, and inhibit bacteria. In addition, HCN generated by enzymatic hydrolysis can inhibit the active tyrosinase in the body, and eliminate pigmentation, freckles, dark spots, etc., to achieve the effect of beauty.
