Intangible Cultural Heritage Nine-Steamed Nine-Sun-Dried Sesame Balls
Nine-Steamed Nine-Sun-Dried Sesame Balls are a traditional Chinese medicinal food derived from ancient wellness practices. Made primarily from black sesame seeds, they undergo a unique processing method called "nine cycles of steaming and sun-drying." While their purported benefits are widely recognized in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and folk remedies, modern scientific evidence remains limited. Below is an overview of their claimed effects and related analyses:
I. Traditional TCM Perspectives
1. Promotes Hair Health
- TCM theory states that "hair reflects the state of blood, and the kidneys manifest their vitality in hair." Black sesame seeds, believed to nourish the kidneys and liver, may help address premature graying or hair loss caused by kidney deficiency or insufficient blood essence.
- The nine-cycle processing reduces the greasiness of raw sesame, enhancing digestibility and absorption.
2. Tonifies Kidneys and Essence
- Black sesame is classified as a kidney- and liver-tonifying ingredient in TCM. It is traditionally used to alleviate symptoms like lower back pain, dizziness, tinnitus, and fatigue associated with kidney deficiency.
3. Relieves Constipation
- Rich in natural oils, sesame may lubricate the intestines, potentially easing constipation caused by intestinal dryness (requires adequate water intake).
4. Anti-Aging Properties
- Black sesame contains antioxidants like vitamin E and sesamin. TCM attributes its "five-organ-nourishing" properties to improving vitality and delaying aging.
II. Modern Nutritional Insights
1. Nutrient-Dense
- Black sesame is rich in unsaturated fats, protein, calcium, iron, and vitamin E, which support skin, bone, and overall health.
2. Antioxidant Activity
- Lignans (e.g., sesamin) in sesame exhibit antioxidant effects, potentially reducing free radical damage.
III. Suitable Populations
- Individuals with premature graying or hair loss (effects vary; long-term use required).
- Those experiencing kidney deficiency, weakness, or chronic fatigue.
- People with constipation or dry intestines.
- Middle-aged/older adults seeking daily wellness support.
Recommended intake: 2-3pcs daily, better take it during 7-9am, or 5-7pm
