    People with indigestion can take some yam. Chinese medicine believes that yam is flat and sweet, and belongs to the lungs, spleen, stomach and kidney channels. "Compendium of Materia Medica" mentions that yam benefits kidney qi and strengthens the spleen and stomach. According to records, the "eight treasure cakes" Cixi eats to strengthen the spleen and stomach contains yam ingredients. Yam contains amylase, polyphenol oxidase and other substances, which can promote digestion and improve gastrointestinal function.
