Is the white radish clear or hot

White radish usually has a clearing effect on fire and does not cause excessive heat. White radish has a cool and sweet taste, rich in water and dietary fiber, which helps to clear heat and promote digestion. However, excessive consumption by individuals with weak and cold constitution may cause gastrointestinal discomfort. White radish contains ingredients such as mustard oil and amylase, which can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and help alleviate constipation or dry mouth caused by internal heat. Its high water content can supplement body fluids and have a certain auxiliary effect on relieving symptoms such as sore throat and oral ulcers. When cooking, it is recommended to eat raw or stew for a short period of time to avoid high temperatures and prolonged cooking that can damage the effective ingredients. Some people may experience abdominal pain or diarrhea after consuming it, which is related to the coolness of white radish. People with spleen and stomach deficiency cold or those who eat a large amount of raw food in winter may worsen their body cold symptoms, manifested as cold hands and feet and decreased appetite. This group of people can pair white radish with ginger, lamb, and other isothermal ingredients to neutralize the coldness.

It is recommended to adjust the intake of white radish for daily consumption according to physical fitness, with a recommended daily intake of 200-300 grams for healthy individuals. Along with a balanced diet, avoid consuming qi boosting herbs such as ginseng. If there are long-term symptoms of excessive internal heat or body coldness, it is recommended to consult a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner for constitution differentiation, combined with comprehensive adjustments such as exercise and daily routine.
