Consuming raisins in moderation will not lead to fire, nor does it have a fire-reducing effect. Raisins are made from fresh grapes that are air-dried. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, grapes are flat in nature, so moderate consumption will not lead to fire, nor do they have fire-reducing properties. However, due to the high sugar content in raisins, over-consumption may lead to phlegm growth, which in turn causes throat discomfort, similar to the symptoms of fire.

Raisins are not useful in treating hair loss. Hair loss can be caused by a number of factors, including hyperandrogenism and malnutrition. Raisins are not helpful in regulating androgen and replenishing proteins, so they generally cannot improve the symptoms of hair loss. Hair loss patients are advised to go to the hospital for checkups and treatment to avoid worsening of the situation.

Women regularly consume raisins for a variety of benefits, including anti-aging, potassium supplementation, rejuvenation and strengthening of muscles and bones. In addition, consumption of unwashed raisins does not cause discomfort in most people, but a few may experience gastrointestinal discomfort.
