In terms of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Cashew is known to enter the lung and kidney[22]. The flavor of Cashew is sweet, and it is considered to be neutral[2] to warm[22] in temperature.
Sources state that cashews can help to strengthen the bones, tonify the kidney, nourish qi and blood, and promote bowel movement. Cashews may help to alleviate lower back pain, frequent urination, dizziness, fatigue, poor libido, infertility, and constipation. [22]
For lower back pain dry roast cashews in a pan and sprinkle with curry powder for 2 minutes on high flame. Remove promptly without burning the cashews. Eat daily. [22]
For infertility or poor libido make a trail mix from equal parts of dried cranberry, walnut, sesame seed, longan fruit, and cashews. For constipation grind cashews into a powder and mix 1 teaspoon of cashew powder with 1 teaspoon of honey into a cup of hot water. Drink on an empty stomach each morning upon waking. [22]
