Chicken meat is incompatible with sticky rice and sesame salt.

According to traditional medicine practitioner Bui Hong Minh, chicken is delicious, but it loses its flavor if not combined with other dishes and spices. However, according to traditional Chinese medicine, chicken is also incompatible with many other things.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, chicken meat is sweet in taste and warm in nature, with the effect of warming the body, replenishing qi, and nourishing bone marrow. Chicken meat is very nutritious and is often used for cases of emaciation, weight loss, exhaustion, bloating, indigestion, poor appetite, diarrhea, dysentery, edema, frequent urination, urinary incontinence, leukorrhea, insufficient milk production after childbirth, and diabetes.

There's an old saying, "Dogs heal quickly, chickens heal quickly," so chicken is a food that people trust and consume. Especially during ancestral commemorations, Tet (Lunar New Year), weddings, and other celebrations, chicken is considered the main dish.

However, not everyone knows that chicken meat is incompatible with certain foods. During absorption and metabolism, there are always very complex interactions between the components of food. They can "work together" (for example, vitamin A helps increase the synthesis of proteins, vitamin C promotes the absorption of iron) or inhibit each other (one substance hinders the absorption and metabolism of another). The consequences of improper food combinations become a burden on the body. When that burden exceeds the body's ability to self-regulate, poisoning occurs.

Combining chicken with these foods without knowing the proper way can be very detrimental to your health.

Here are some foods that should not be eaten with chicken:

1. Avoid eating chicken and dog meat together because chicken is considered mildly warm, while dog meat and dog liver are also mildly warm and very hot. Eating both together can cause heat-induced diarrhea; drinking licorice tea will cure it.

2. When eating chicken, avoid eating garlic, cabbage, and raw onions because chicken is considered mildly warm, while garlic and onions are very hot, and cabbage is mildly cold. Eating these together can cause dysentery. Drinking mulberry leaf tea will cure it.

3. Chicken should not be eaten with sesame salt (sesame salt and herbs): Chicken belongs to the wood element; eating it with sesame salt and herbs will affect the liver's wind element, causing dizziness and tremors. If accidentally consumed, drinking a decoction of licorice root will cure it.

4. Avoid eating chicken with sticky rice because eating chicken with sticky rice can cause tapeworms (commonly known as roundworms or tapeworms). The remedy is to burn a handful of sticky rice and eat it to cure the condition.

5. Chicken and carp should not be eaten together because chicken is considered warm in nature, while carp is considered cold. Eating them together can cause boils and abscesses. If this occurs, drinking black bean water will cure it.

6. Chicken should not be eaten with perilla leaves because chicken is warm in nature and belongs to the wood element, while perilla leaves are pungent, dispersing, and hot. Eating them together can cause itching and skin irritation.
