Dr. Lv Aiming
People with cold uterus (gonghan) should not consume mulberry leaves. Mulberry leaves have effects of dispelling wind, clearing heat, moistening dryness in the lungs, and calming the liver to improve vision. They are sweet in taste and slightly cold in nature. Therefore, individuals with a cold body constitution should avoid drinking mulberry leaf tea. Patients with cold uterus may instead consume foods such as longan, goji berries, and red beans. Red beans have functions of clearing the mind, nourishing the blood, and are rich in iron, which helps strengthen qi and blood. They are among the best warming foods.
