It is more popular to eat sea cucumber tonic in many areas along the coast of Dalian and Shandong, and it is almost a common saying that it is best to eat sea cucumber from the winter solstice. Why? There are several points in the analysis (because the biggest feature of rumors is that It does not provide any reason, or its reason can not stand up to scrutiny, so it can only be analyzed, and the analysis may not be accurate for reference, believe it or not):

　　 1. The ancients believed that processing and taking Chinese medicine is Very particular about the day, it is generally believed that the spring equinox, summer solstice, autumn equinox, and winter solstice are good days for preparing drugs, and the best effect is in these days. Of course, you can''t wait for a good life with medicine, but you can wait for it. What''s so good about the winter solstice? Winter is yin, "to" means "extremely", the cathode produces yang, it is born out of nowhere, and there is nothing else. (Huaxia Publishing House published in 1997). Obviously, it is best to nourish yin and yang with sea cucumbers, and the effect is the best.

　　 2. This is related to the living habits of sea cucumbers. Sea cucumbers have the habit of "summer sleep". They grow slowly during summer sleep and even shrink. After the end of the summer, there has been growth, and by the winter solstice it just went on sale in large quantities.

　　 3. May also be related to economic conditions and costs. The sea cucumber is expensive, and it''s a bit overwhelming to eat 365 days a year. What should I do? Then I have to eat from the winter solstice to the end of the ninth.

　　 Therefore, I would like to say that sea cucumbers do not have to be eaten during the winter solstice, and can be eaten at other times-as long as you have economic conditions, it is also necessary to do so. The nourishing effect of sea cucumbers (if any) is very mild-unlike ginseng-generally does not cause side effects such as "get angry" (occasionally there are individual exceptions). This is precisely because sea cucumber has a relatively mild effect, so short-term or occasional eating will not see any effect.
