In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), bird’s nest is considered a luxury tonic believed to:
- Enhance longevity – Symbolizes health, youth, and vitality.
- Boost Qi (energy) – Strengthens the body’s natural balance and resilience.
- Improve skin beauty – Promotes radiant, youthful skin with anti-aging benefits.
- Strengthen immunity – Supports lung health and fights illnesses.
- Aid pregnancy – Believed to benefit both mother and baby for a healthy pregnancy.
Historically reserved for royalty and the wealthy, bird’s nest is still regarded as a precious superfood in Chinese culture.
