Introduction
Under normal circumstances, lily bulbs (Bai He) are incompatible with eel, carp, scallions, peanuts, mutton, and other foods. Consuming lily bulbs with eel may cause physical discomfort. Lily bulbs are slightly cold in nature, while eel is warm in nature; their opposing properties may lead to physical discomfort when consumed together, especially for individuals with a cold body constitution, potentially exacerbating internal coldness. However, moderate combination of these foods generally does not cause serious problems.
Under normal circumstances, lily (Bai He) is considered incompatible with eel, carp, scallions, peanuts, lamb, and other foods. A detailed analysis is as follows:
1. Eel
Consuming lily with eel may cause physical discomfort. Lily is slightly cold in nature, while eel is warm in nature. Their opposing properties may lead to discomfort, especially for individuals with a cold body constitution, potentially exacerbating internal coldness.
2. Carp
Consuming lily with carp may lead to indigestion. Lily is slightly cold, while carp is neutral in nature. Due to their differing properties, combining them may result in symptoms of indigestion such as abdominal distension and diarrhea.
3. Scallions
Consuming lily with scallions may lead to indigestion. Scallions are pungent and warm, while lily is slightly cold in nature. Eating them together may irritate the gastrointestinal tract, leading to symptoms such as abdominal distension and pain.
4. Peanuts
Peanuts are rich in oils and proteins. For individuals allergic to peanuts, consuming them with lily may increase the risk of an allergic reaction, causing symptoms such as skin itching, swelling, and difficulty breathing.
5. Lamb
Lily has properties of clearing heat and nourishing yin, whereas lamb is warming in nature. The opposing natures of these two foods may cause discomfort in individuals with a heat body constitution, such as heatiness, dry mouth, and constipation.
Although the above foods are considered incompatible with lily, the actual effects vary from person to person, and problems typically occur only after consuming large quantities.
