AHM Properties
Rice vinegar has astringent properties, activates and moves Blood, breaks up Blood stasis, neutralizes toxins, and softens areas of hardness. Its sour character sends its action into the Liver, establishing it as a go-to liver-supporting condiment in AHM food therapy. It helps the body break down proteins and fats, encourages Stomach acid secretion, and is commonly used in the kitchen to tenderize meat and preserve vegetables.
Contraindications
Avoid excess in Spleen and Stomach weakness or gastric ulcers. Not recommended with bone-strengthening herbs.
