AHM Properties
In AHM, pork is the go-to meat for nourishing Yin — a very different action from the Yang-building warmth of lamb or chicken. It replenishes Kidney Yin and Jing, relieves dryness throughout the body, and supports Liver Blood. Pork bone broth takes this further, acting as a deeply restorative Jing tonic. Because lean pork moistens without generating heat, it tends to be one of the most broadly fitting meats for a wide range of body types and constitutions.
Contraindications
Avoid excess in heat patterns or Liver Yang rising. Fatty pork is more Yin-nourishing; lean pork less so.
