In terms of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Blueberry is known for its ability to clear heat, expel dampness, and eliminate toxins.
In general the ancient Chinese medical texts cite that it enters the Lung, Stomach, and Spleen. The flavor of Blueberry is sweet and sour, and it is considered to be cool to warm in temperature by various sources. Try to source organic blueberries whenever possible, as pesticide residue can be a problem.
Bluberries may help with symptoms of kidney weakness such as cognitive decline, frequent urination, and symptoms of blood deficiency such as anemia. For poor concentration or symptoms of ADD eat 1/4 cup of fresh or frozen blueberries for breakfast each day. For memory decline due to kidney weakness combine blueberries, walnuts, pine nuts, goji berries, lychee, and pumpkin seed to make a trail mix. For blood deficiency (anemia) and kidney weakness combined, mix dried blueberries with raisins, figs, and eat a handful each day. [22]
