American ginseng: also known as American ginseng, it is mainly produced in the United States and Canada. In China, it is called seed ginseng transplantation, or seed ginseng, which is used for medicinal roots and is a precious medicinal material. Chinese medicine believes that American ginseng is sweet, slightly bitter and cool, and enters the heart, lungs and kidneys. The function of invigorating qi and nourishing yin, clearing fire and promoting fluid production is a good product for clearing heat and preserving health. Since the Qing Dynasty, it has been recorded in many medical works. For example, as stated in New Theory of Materia Medica, it is suitable for people with fire, tonifying lung to reduce fire, supplementing body fluid and eliminating fatigue and asthenia. The Dictionary of Traditional Chinese Medicine, a contemporary pharmaceutical monograph, has the concept of "consolidating essence and calming nerves" in the materia medica, claiming that this product "benefits lung yin and clears lung fire".
As can be seen from the above, American ginseng has two main functions. First, it can be used for symptoms such as shortness of breath, thirst and fatigue caused by deficiency of both qi and yin, or dry throat, hoarseness and dry cough caused by deficiency of lung yin, because American ginseng can benefit qi and nourish yin; Second, American ginseng can be used for hot flashes at noon caused by yin deficiency and fever, or symptoms such as chronic cough, hemoptysis and less sputum. It can also be used for shortness of breath, fatigue, thirst, weak pulse and other symptoms caused by the damage of qi and yin in high fever, because American ginseng can nourish yin and clear heat. It should also be noted that American ginseng is cool and tonic, and anyone who wants to use ginseng can use it, especially in autumn, and it is best to take American ginseng.
Adenophora adenophora: there are two parts: south and north, which have the same function of clearing lung and stomach. Only Radix Glehniae tastes bitter and light, and has strong nourishing yin; Nanshahen is slightly bitter and cool, and its merits are not as good as those of Beishahen.
Adenophora adenophora is a nourishing health care product, which is often used for nourishing and health care. For example, "Shen Nong Ben Cao" contains its "Buzhong Jiao"; "The famous doctor Aberdeen" said that "the five internal organs are safe, and the long-term service will benefit people ... and the muscles will also grow." The Dictionary of Traditional Chinese Medicine summarizes the health care effect of Adenophora adenophora as "nourishing yin and clearing lung". Therefore, it is often used for the syndrome of yin deficiency of lung and stomach. When in use, Adenophora adenophora is generally decocted in water, and the dosage is 10 ~ 15g each time.
Euryale ferox: also known as "chicken's head rice", it is a mature seed kernel of Nymphaeaceae, usually rectangular, such as the size of cowpea, white and clean, and easy to cook. Sweet, astringent and flat, it has the functions of strengthening the spleen, nourishing the stomach, benefiting the kidney and fixing the essence. Traditional Chinese medicine holds that Euryale ferox is most beneficial to spleen and stomach to resist aging and prolong life. For example, "Shen Nong Ben Cao" said, "Tonifying the middle, ... benefiting the essence, strengthening the will, making people smart, keeping fit for a long time, and resisting aging." According to modern research, Euryale ferox contains a lot of sugar. Protein, fat, vitamins and trace elements play an important role in maintaining human health, and it has been proved that Euryale ferox is a good medicine for health care. Su Dongpo, a great writer in the Song Dynasty, was still healthy, ruddy and quick-thinking in his later years. According to his account in the book, he mainly benefited from eating cooked Euryale ferox every day for decades, so his waist and legs were strong and he walked powerfully. We advocate eating Euryale ferox in autumn because it can regulate the spleen and stomach function consumed in summer. After the spleen and stomach are full, eating more tonics or tonics that are not easy to digest will make the human body adapt and be beneficial to the body.
Polygonatum odoratum: sweet and flat, it has the functions of nourishing yin and moistening lung, benefiting stomach and promoting fluid production; It is a good product for nourishing yin and promoting fluid production. This product is effective when used alone. For example, take Polygonatum odoratum 150g in the "Tips for Outer Taiwan" and boil the juice for drinking, which is used for fever due to yin deficiency, dry mouth and short and astringent urine.
Asparagus: Sweet, bitter and cold in nature, it has the functions of clearing lung-heat, nourishing yin and moistening dryness. "Shen Nong's Classic of Materia Medica" says: "Long-term service can strengthen the body, benefit qi and prolong life." "Rihuazi Materia Medica" said: "Moisten the five internal organs, benefit the skin, enjoy the color, and make up five strains and seven injuries." Here, it also shows that asparagus also has the functions of moistening skin, caring skin, keeping fit and prolonging life. Asparagus is effective when used alone. For example, in "How to Eat Normally", asparagus paste is made by mashing fresh asparagus juice, and one spoonful of warm wine on an empty stomach is taken every morning and evening, which can benefit qi and prolong life if taken for a long time. According to modern research, asparagus root contains aspartic acid (asparagine), mucus, B&; #0; & amp#0; Gelatin alcohol and 5- methoxymethyl furfural contain steroidal saponins as bitter components. Its pharmacology has antibacterial and antitumor effects.
