AHM Properties
Squid replenishes Blood and Yin, supports the Liver, and settles the Heart spirit. It is especially helpful for Blood deficiency presenting with menstrual irregularities, forgetfulness, and anxious feelings. Classical AHM sources highlight its capacity to supplement Essence and Blood, promote female reproductive wellness, and nourish the Liver to support clear, healthy vision.
Squid provides omega-3 fatty acids, selenium, and taurine that contribute to mild anti-inflammatory activity, consistent with its AHM role in nourishing Blood and Yin and supporting Liver function.
Contraindications
Avoid in exterior conditions with fever. Must be fresh. Some individuals sensitive to its phlegm-promoting properties.
