It has certain curative effects on hypertension, coronary heart disease, hyperlipidemia, etc. Sulfur-containing compounds also have certain antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects.
Leek is a pungent, warm and nourishing yang product. It contains a certain amount of zinc element, which can warm and nourish liver and kidney.
