One symptom of this kind of person is that he is afraid of the cold. Many women will ask, why am I so afraid of the cold? Why do you always have to wear more than others? It is wrong to regard it as yang deficiency.
Although yang deficiency is also afraid of cold, such women are often not yang deficiency, but blood deficiency. Without enough blood, you can't warm your limbs, which leads to cold. Its tongue is pale and white, not yang deficiency, but blood deficiency, and blood cannot nourish the tongue.
Although some people have yang deficiency, they also have blood deficiency. It is not enough to warm yang, but also pay attention to nourishing blood. Traditional Chinese medicine has many ways to replenish blood, one of which is taking Ejiao.
Ejiao nourishes yin and blood.
Ejiao is one of the oldest drugs, which is recorded in Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica. It is called "master and confidant, implosion, extreme fatigue, belching, lumbago and abdominal pain, limb pain, bleeding of women, miscarriage prevention and long-term service."
Now we think that Ejiao can treat blood deficiency, cough, hematemesis, epistaxis, hematochezia, irregular menstruation, metrorrhagia and abortion by nourishing yin and enriching blood and preventing miscarriage by entering lung, liver and kidney meridians.
The earliest Ejiao was not made of donkey skin as it is now. At that time, many animal skins were used to boil Ejiao. Later, Niu Pijiao was separated into yellow gelatin.
People gradually found that donkey hide is the best for Ejiao, and it is the best produced in Dong 'e, Shandong Province, so they decided. According to various ancient documents, the donkeys in Dong 'e, Shandong Province grew up eating herbs from the Twelve Mountains and drinking water from the langxi River.
There is a local folk song: "Little black donkey, white belly, little black hoof, pink nose and pink eyes. I walked three times by the glazed well and rolled around in the Huangjiafang. Slaughter its skin on the solstice of winter and boil it with Dong 'e water. "
Killing donkeys on the solstice in winter, on the one hand, donkeys grow big at this time; On the other hand, according to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, winter corresponds to kidney, while Ejiao has the effect of tonifying kidney, and Ejiao is used to nourish yin and replenish blood. The solstice in winter is the heaviest time of yin in a year, and donkey skin has the best medicinal properties.
In short, there are many sayings, all of which belong to Ejiao culture in Dong 'e, Shandong Province. There are many ways for Ejiao to replenish blood. Here I introduce a method of taking Ejiao alone.
In the Chinese medicine column of CCTV, an old lady was introduced. She is about 90 years old, with black hair and very attractive. Her secret recipe is to eat donkey-hide gelatin. She had a child in middle age, and then she collapsed. She is very afraid of the cold and has to wear a lot of clothes in summer.
Later, an old Chinese doctor told her a way to eat donkey-hide gelatin. She has been taking it for more than 50 years. Not only was she healthy, but her hair was all black when she was 90 years old.
This is the efficacy of Ejiao. Chinese medicine believes that "hair is blood", and when there is enough blood, hair will be good. So, how did this grandmother take Ejiao?
Taking method
Put the donkey-hide gelatin into a big porcelain bowl. The bigger the porcelain bowl, the better. You should be able to hold a bottle of yellow wine. Pour a bottle of yellow rice wine (note that it is not cooking wine, there are pepper, aniseed and so on. ) put it in a bowl and soak the donkey-hide gelatin for 24 hours. At this time, although the Ejiao has not melted, it has become a little soft.
Then put a large bowl filled with donkey-hide gelatin and yellow wine into a pot and steam it for 3 hours on low heat. At this time, Ejiao began to melt, and then steamed for about 1 hour after a little stirring until it was completely melted. You can see the bubbles rolling in the bowl when you open the pot, indicating that Ejiao has completely melted.
After taking it out and letting it cool, the donkey-hide gelatin will turn into paste, cover it with plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator, and soon it will turn into jelly. Scoop out 1 spoon at a time, put it in a bowl and pour it into boiling water. Ejiao will completely dissolve in 30 seconds and be taken twice a day.
If you eat Ejiao alone, you will have the disadvantage of stagnation. After adding rice wine, the circulation of rice wine will solve this problem. After heating, the alcoholic properties of yellow rice wine basically disappear, but the function of dredging collaterals still exists, which is the wonderful use of traditional Chinese medicine.
People with moisture should use Ejiao with caution. This kind of person's tongue coating is thick and greasy, which is not suitable for nourishing, otherwise it will accumulate stagnation. In other words, this method can only be used if the doctor diagnoses blood deficiency.
In addition, it is best not to use Ejiao during menstruation, because Ejiao has the effect of hemostasis. It is also inappropriate for pregnant women to use Ejiao, and it must be taken under the guidance of a doctor.
This method of taking Ejiao is simple and easy. Female friends who feel their blood deficiency can see a doctor for diagnosis. If it is really blood deficiency, this is a very good conditioning method.
