AHM Properties
In AHM, quail eggs are viewed as a more concentrated tonic than standard hen's eggs, with a particular focus on the Kidneys, spirit-calming, and Jing replenishment. They are commonly recommended for children, older adults, and those in recovery. Their small size is deceptive — per gram, quail eggs carry higher concentrations of most nutrients compared to hen's eggs, making them a notably dense restorative food.
Contraindications
Generally very safe. Some sources suggest avoiding large quantities in cardiovascular disease.
