AHM Properties

Quail is considered a gentle, well-rounded tonic for Qi, Blood, and Jing — and in AHM is often regarded as more refined in its action than chicken. It supports the Spleen and Kidney, strengthens the sinews and bones, settles the spirit, and supports healthy growth and development in children. Its mild, neutral temperament makes it a fitting choice across a broad range of ages and constitutions.

Contraindications

Avoid excess. Generally very well tolerated — suitable for children and the elderly.
