Sweet, cold. Moistens the Lung and Kidney, resolves deficiency heat.

Contraindicated for those with Yin deficiency, pregnant women, and those with internal heat.
Mr. Danxi said: "Tuberculous weakness in humans is mostly due to Yin deficiency. If it were truly Yang deficiency leading to tuberculous disease, death would be rapid. Moreover, pungent and hot substances cause Yuan Qi to scatter further upon ingestion, leading to irritability and dryness; how could mutton save even a fraction of such cases? Furthermore, if consumed by those with Yin deficiency, it exacerbates Minister Fire, making the disease harder to treat and medicines ineffective. Why do people today fail to examine the root cause and eat it recklessly?"
