Oysters, often called the "milk of the sea," offer a wealth of nutritional benefits. In Yakuzen philosophy, they are linked to liver and kidney health and are considered a powerful food for nourishing yin and enriching the blood—making them especially beneficial for those with iron deficiency. Additionally, oysters are thought to help alleviate stress and anxiety linked to low jing and iron levels.

To enjoy oysters safely, always ensure they are fresh, as consuming spoiled oysters can lead to food poisoning.
