The Chinese yam has been cultivated across parts of Asia for centuries for use as both food and medicine. In its dried form it is known as Shan yao and can be taken daily in porridge or tea to help gently nourish people recovering from long illness or who are otherwise having a hard time taking nourishment into the body. It is also used this way to address xiao ke, or “wasting and thirsting” syndrome.
As an ingredient in TCM formulas, it is used variously to promote healthy digestion, stop loose, watery stools, address dry cough, wheezing, and shortness of breath, and help with various forms of leakage from the urinary system (e.g. spermatorrhea, frequent urination, and nighttime enuresis (wetting the bed).
