Yam is a Qi-tonifying medicine, which is the dried rhizome of Dioscorea opposita Thunb. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that yam is a food that has the same origin as medicine and food. Eating it steamed has the effect of nourishing the spleen, lungs and kidneys, nourishing yin and replenishing qi. Eating it in moderation is good for your health.
