AHM Properties
Venison is one of the most potent Yang- and Jing-building meats in AHM dietary therapy, ranking just below deer horn (Lu Rong) in its capacity to tonify Kidney Yang and Essence. It reinforces bones and sinews, brings warmth to the middle burner, drives out cold, and replenishes both Qi and Blood. For cold constitutions with Yang deficiency, it is the go-to winter tonic meat.
Contraindications
Avoid in heat patterns or Yin deficiency with heat. One of the most warming meats — use sparingly in warm constitutions.
