Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Edible, Chinese yam is good for regulating the spleen and stomach and will not cause constipation. It can also benefit the spleen, stomach, lungs, and kidneys. You can buy Chinese yam at the market (the long, spiky kind). It's best to use Huai yam. When the porridge is almost ready, put the mashed yam in and stir a few times before boiling. Don't cook it for too long, as it will destroy the digestive enzymes inside and affect the effect. Alternatively, you can steam it.
