In terms of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Bok Choy is known for its ability to clear heat and regulate water circulation. It also helps to eliminate toxins, lubricate the intestines, and alleviate food stagnation, and improve digestion.
In general the ancient Chinese medical texts cite that it enters the stomach and large intestine. Although some sources cite Bok Choy as being cold in nature, others claim that is cool in nature. The editor's choice is that bok choy tends to be very cool, and perhaps cold if eaten raw. However, since most people prefer to cook Bok Choy before eating, its final temperature is likely to be more cool in nature.
For constipation cook bok choy with beets. For thirst drink bok choy and cucumber juice. For indigestion eat pickled bok choy [22]
