The difference between Huaishan and Yam

China has a history of more than 5,000 years. For China, there is a very magical and unique thing, that is traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine is the essence of China, and it is not an exaggeration to even call it a national treasure, because some knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine cannot even be solved by Western medicine. Moreover, the most important ingredient in traditional Chinese medicine is Chinese medicine, and Chinese medicine is around us, so let us learn about the difference between Huaishan and yam!

Huaishan is different from yam.

Yam, also known as Dioscorea batatas, is also known as Huai yam, Huai yam, native yam, mountain yam, yam, and Yuyan. A perennial herb with creeping stems, often purple, cylindrical tubers, opposite leaves, ovate or elliptical, milky white flowers, and dioecious plants. The tubers contain starch and protein and can be eaten.

The differences between Huaishan and Yam are as follows:

Origin: This can be said to be the most fundamental reason for the difference between the two. Huaishan is a medicine with extremely high medicinal value. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is called authentic medicinal material, which means it is a medicinal material produced from its place of origin. In my country, the origin of yam is near Jiangsu and Anhui, and only the ones produced there can be called yam. The ones produced in other places are what we commonly call yam, and their medicinal and nutritional value cannot be compared with the real yam.

Different functions: Huaishan is a special medicinal material. In health preservation, we regard it more as a medicinal food. As for yam, we regard it more as a kind of food, and I believe many people have eaten ingredients made from yam.

Different composition: Compared with ordinary yam, Huaishan contains an additional youth factor, which is a very important substance for us to maintain vitality. It has a very obvious effect on delaying aging and resisting diseases in our body.

Different medicinal value: Huaishan has very high medicinal value. It has very good therapeutic effects on some common diseases in daily life, such as diabetes, arterial infarction, obesity, and paralysis. In contrast, the medicinal value of yam is much smaller.
