Food as Medicine – Dill
Dill, with its warm nature and pungent flavor, is excellent for warming the Middle Jiao and promoting digestion. It supports the Spleen and Stomach meridians, aiding in the relief of digestive discomfort such as indigestion and bloating. Furthermore, dill’s ability to dispel cold makes it particularly beneficial in conditions where digestive coldness leads to sluggish digestion, enhancing overall digestive well-being.
