Why people make this dish

Some people are so delicate that even a little tonic food leaves them with mouth ulcers, restless sleep or an upset stomach — what the old folks call “too weak to take a tonic.” Sea cucumber is prized precisely because it nourishes gently: it is considered a yin-and-yang balancing food that builds up the body without being heating, so it suits all four seasons. Nourilo likes that this braise tastes good and feels kind to the whole family, young and old.

A subgroup taking 1 g/day or less for over four days had less acute vomiting (OR 0.30).Limitation: Clinical heterogeneity between trials required subgroup analyses, and the authors state that sufficiently large, high-quality RCTs are still needed.PubMed 36501010 · 3 more ginger studies
