A chicken has many parts that contain chicken meat, such as the head, neck, legs, wings, breast, and more. There are also many varieties of chicken, such as free-range chicken, broiler chicken, and Silkie chicken. Each type of chicken and each breed is very nutritious and has its unique effects, but as a beauty food, the Silkie chicken is the best for beautifying and nourishing the skin.
According to records in the materials, when describing the Silkie chicken, it is mentioned that "the Silkie chicken is sweet and warm in nature, and contains various components such as protein, fat, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin A, vitamin C, cholesterol, calcium, phosphorus, iron, and more."
As early as the Tang Dynasty, people used Silkie chicken as a traditional Chinese medicine to treat women's diseases. The famous "Compendium of Materia Medica" mentions that Silkie chicken is a tonic and a nourishing food for women. In modern times, research results from the Chinese Academy of Sciences show that Silkie chicken has special nutritional and medicinal value. Therefore, in Chinese history, Silkie chicken has been a symbol of a tonic for women.
Silkie chicken can enter the kidney meridian and has important effects such as warming the middle and replenishing qi, nourishing blood, making hair darker and shinier, tonifying the kidneys, and moisturizing the skin. For women with symptoms such as a thin face, poor complexion, sallow skin, facial edema, postpartum blood deficiency and insufficient milk, overwork, and excessive stress, Silkie chicken can be used as a food therapy tonic.
