When combined properly, this duo can support improving skin, hair and mild anemia.
Black sesame seeds contain iron, zinc, vitamin E and antioxidants. According to Ms. Beth Czerwony - a nutritionist at Cleveland Clinic, sesame seeds are rich in healthy fats and minerals, which can support cardiovascular health and contribute to improving iron deficiency if included in a balanced diet. Iron plays an important role in the process of creating red blood cells, thereby helping skin become rosy.
Meanwhile, arrowroot powder provides natural starch and some antioxidant plant compounds. Diluting arrowroot powder to drink will help the body replenish light energy, support digestion and reduce the feeling of internal heat, an indirect factor affecting the skin.
The common way to use is to roast black sesame, grind it finely, then mix 1-2 teaspoons of sesame powder with 1 teaspoon of tapioca starch with warm water. You can add a little honey to make it easier to drink. You should use 3-4 times a week.
However, experts note that these are only supportive foods, not "blood tonics" to replace the treatment of disease-induced anemia. People with digestive disorders or sesame seed allergies should consult a doctor before use.
