How It's Used
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Hyacinth bean supports digestion, especially in times of weakness, overexertion, or seasonal changes. It tonifies Qi (energy), harmonizes the Spleen, and clears summer-heat.
From a Western perspective, research indicates Hyacinth bean has antioxidant and liver-protective benefits. Studies show it may help support healthy blood sugar, cholesterol, and metabolism by strengthening the gut lining, balancing gut bacteria, and supporting the gut–brain connection.
Fun Fact: Food as medicine at work. Hyacinth bean, a member of the lentil family, is a staple food in many Asian cuisines. The dried seeds are boiled, lightly sweetened, and enjoyed as a refreshing snack during hot weather.
