TCM Soup Recipe For Clear Skin
Ingredients:
1/2 radish
1/2 carrot
1/2 great burdock (niu bang)
6 dried mushrooms
Seasoning:
Sea salt
Method:
1. Rinse radish, carrot and great burdock.
2. Peel and cut into pieces.
3. Rinse mushrooms and then soak in water.
4. Remove stems of mushrooms and set them aside.
5. Place all ingredients into a pot, pour in sufficient water and bring to boil.
6. Lower heat and continue cooking for 1 hour.
7. Add in sea salt to taste.
Here are some tips by my TCM practitioner if you want to have a nice skin complexion:
- Great burdock expels heat and removes toxins. Mushroom nourishes the skin, while carrot improves skin lustre. When you combine the three together in a soup, it helps promote the metabolism of the skin, giving it a nice smooth complexion.
- The soup is suitable for women who are in their middle ages and who would like to have a glowing complexion.
- Those with a “cool” body constituent should cook the soup without the radish.
