Chestnut is sweet and warm in nature. It enters the three meridians of spleen, stomach and kidney. It has the functions of nourishing stomach, strengthening spleen, strengthening kidney, promoting blood circulation and hemostasis, relieving cough and resolving phlegm.

If the middle-aged and old people form the habit of eating dried raw chestnut every day, they can effectively prevent and treat kidney deficiency, lumbago and leg pain. It is suggested that the middle-aged and old people should eat three or four raw chestnuts every morning and evening. When the chestnuts are put in the mouth and chewed until there is no residue in the mouth, swallow them a little bit to maximize the health care effect.

The chestnut kernel is steamed and ground to make cake, which is suitable for children with little diet and thin body to increase appetite and regulate stomach. Making porridge with chestnut and japonica rice is not only beneficial to the early recovery of patients with chronic diarrhea caused by deficiency of spleen and stomach, but also a therapeutic prescription for the elderly with dyspepsia and asthenia of Qi.
