A word from David Brun
(Graduate of the Nanjing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine)
Chinese yam is a medicinal food, so it can be eaten in cooked dishes, soups, gruels or decoctions.
Chinese yam does not interfere with digestion, but tones the spleen-stomach pairing. Its mild astringent action stops diarrhea, calms frequent urination and protects the Essence (Jing) of the kidneys.
