Women should appropriately consume more nutrient-rich foods daily, such as high-quality proteins rich in "blood-building" materials, essential trace elements (iron, copper, etc.), folic acid, and vitamin B12. Examples include animal liver, blood, fish and shrimp, eggs, bean products, black fungus, black sesame seeds, red dates, peanuts, and fresh fruits and vegetables. You can also achieve your beauty goals by trying several of our recommended blood-nourishing porridges.

Medicinal Nourishment: Those with anemia should consume blood-nourishing medicinal diets. You can use 15 grams of Codonopsis root and 15 red dates, decocted into a tea to drink. Alternatively, you can cook a porridge with 20 grams of Fo-ti root, 20 grams of goji berries, 60 grams of japonica rice, 15 red dates, and an appropriate amount of brown sugar, which has the effect of nourishing the blood.
In addition, boiling water with winter melon vines to wash the face and bathe can moisturize the skin and eliminate freckles. Marigold leaf juice also has skin-care and freckle-removing effects. Mash marigold leaves to extract the juice and apply it to the face; this can eliminate freckles and also refresh and whiten the skin. Dandelion flower water can also be used to remove freckles. Take a handful of dandelions, pour in a cup of boiling water, let it cool, then filter. Use the dandelion flower water to wash your face in the morning and evening to keep your face clean and reduce the risk of dermatitis.
