AHM Properties

Pork liver ranks as one of the most powerful Blood tonics in AHM, with a direct action on Liver Blood — making it a go-to food for anemia, night blindness, blurred vision, and dry eyes. This reflects a foundational AHM principle: that animal liver feeds the human liver. Beyond the Blood, it also supports Spleen Qi, making it useful in AHM dietary care for patients dealing with chronic fatigue alongside Blood deficiency.

Contraindications

Limit to 1-2 servings per week due to high vitamin A and cholesterol. Avoid in heat patterns.
