Alleged effects: promote beautiful skin for women; "strengthen the spleen and open up the stomach" (健脾開胃 meaning improve appetite.) Vegetables and fruits are believed to nullify the effect of bird nest if taken within the same day. The dried material is soaked in water to rehydrate. The soaked bird nest is cleaned by hand to remove other nest building debris such as grass and feathers. The cleaned and crumbled bird nest is double steamed with rock sugar as a dessert or with a small amount of pork as a soup.
