Nine-story pagoda, also known as fragrant nutmeg, is a commonly used spice, which is common in Southeast Asian dishes and also has the value of traditional Chinese medicine. It is pungent, warm and toxic in nature, and has the effects of promoting qi circulation, promoting blood circulation, detoxicating, reducing swelling, reducing blood fat and blood sugar, and can improve the flavor and taste of dishes. However, eating the nine-story tower is not without taboos. The following are some things that people need to pay attention to:

First of all, pregnant women should avoid eating nine-story pagoda, because its characteristics of promoting blood circulation and activating stagnant vitality may lead to miscarriage or premature delivery. Secondly, it may affect the quality of milk and cause babies to refuse to eat, so lactating mothers should also avoid eating. For people with blood deficiency and anemia, although the nine-story tower can promote blood circulation, its characteristics may lead to blood stasis, so people should choose carefully. People with allergic history should be more cautious. The pungent and warm characteristics of the nine-story tower may cause allergic reactions.

When eating nine-story towers, you should choose fresh ones to avoid deterioration. Use in moderation, not in excess. In addition to cooking, you can also choose to decoct water or make tea to play its role. Generally speaking, although the nine-story tower is effective, we must be aware of its potential limitations when enjoying it, especially for certain people, so as to protect our health.
