Soy Milk, Walnut and Black Sesame Paste

Why people make this paste

In traditional Chinese food therapy, persistent dark spots or a dull complexion are often linked to deficiencies in blood, yin, and liver-kidney vitality rather than a surface problem. No matter how many expensive creams you apply, the thinking goes, real improvement comes from nourishing the body from within. Walnuts and black sesame are two of the most valued foods for this purpose — rich in healthy fats, minerals, and compounds that have long been associated with skin health and hair vitality. Blended into a warm, creamy paste with soy milk, this is an easy daily ritual that tastes genuinely good.

What studies say about the key ingredients

Traditional use is not the same as clinical proof. Here is the strongest human research we found for each ingredient, limitations included.

  • Walnuts · Randomized controlled trial, 305 participants · 2019
    Office systolic BP changed by -4.61 mm Hg with walnuts versus -0.59 mm Hg in controls (P=0.051); 24-hour ambulatory systolic BP difference was not significant (P=0.111). No diastolic BP changes were observed.Limitation: Only 236 of 305 participants (75%) completed the study, and the main between-group differences did not reach conventional significance.PubMed 30879358 · 2 more walnuts studies
  • Honey · Meta-analysis, 14 studies · 2021
    Compared with usual care, honey was associated with lower combined symptom scores, cough frequency and cough severity. In two pooled placebo-controlled studies, the difference in combined symptoms was not statistically significant.Limitation: Only two studies compared honey with placebo, with high heterogeneity (I2=91%); the review calls for higher-quality placebo-controlled trials.PubMed 32817011 · 3 more honey studies
