Why people make this dish
In traditional Chinese food therapy there is the idea of “guiding herbs” — ingredients believed to direct the effect of a remedy toward a particular area of the body. For pain felt over the brow bone, the forehead, or the upper and lower gums (the so-called Yang Ming region), baizhi is the classic guide. Nourilo shares this steamed egg as a gentle, kitchen-friendly way to use chuanxiong and baizhi together when a headache comes with chills, dislike of wind, and a heavy, stuffy nose.
