Yam has many effects such as strengthening the spleen, replenishing the lungs, strengthening the kidneys, and replenishing essence. It also has a certain therapeutic effect on cough due to lung deficiency, diarrhea due to spleen deficiency, seminal emission due to kidney deficiency, leucorrhea and frequent urination.
Yam skin contains saponin or alkaloid contained in mucus, which often causes allergic reactions, itching, and even redness and swelling after skin contact.
Therefore, after washing the yam skin, it is best to wear gloves or put a fresh-keeping bag on your hands before peeling it; or soak the yam and hands in diluted vinegar solution for a while, which can also effectively prevent allergies.
However, I personally feel that wearing gloves or putting a fresh-keeping bag on my hands is the easiest and safest method. Of course, you must first make sure that the gloves or crisper bags you wear are in good condition!
