The "Little Yellow Rice" in the kitchen, a common ingredient, holds a great secret for complexion regulation. According to TCM, Little Yellow Rice has the effects of replenishing the middle, benefiting the Qi, and strengthening the spleen and nourishing the blood. It is particularly beneficial for those with a sallow complexion due to long-term staying up late.
> As mentioned in the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon, "The Suwen" - "When the liver is attacked by pathogenic factors, the face turns blue; when the heart is attacked, the tongue turns blue; when the spleen is attacked, the lips turn blue; when the lung is attacked, the nose turns blue; when the kidney is attacked, the ears turn blue." This tells us that a sallow complexion may be related to the unsmooth flow of Qi and blood in the five internal organs.
