There is a riddle called "hemp room, red curtains, and a white fat man inside". The answer is the peanuts we usually eat. Peanut is known as "the most cost-effective nut" because of its high nutritional value. But when many people eat fried peanuts, they are used to grinding off the "red curtain", that is, the red skin outside the peanut kernel, which only eats the kernel. In fact, this way of eating is very bad. You should know that red skin has a good health care effect on human body, or it is just Chinese medicine.
The function of peanuts is to harmonize the spleen and stomach, replenish blood and stop bleeding, and reduce blood pressure and lipid. Among them, "enriching blood and stopping bleeding" mainly depends on the red coat outside the peanut kernel, which is called "peanut coat" by Chinese medicine. According to the theory of "spleen governing blood" in traditional Chinese medicine, people with qi deficiency are prone to bleeding. Peanut in red can nourish spleen and stomach, so it can achieve the effect of nourishing blood and stopping bleeding.
Peanut coat is the patron saint of women. Especially during menstruation, pregnancy, postpartum and lactation, women lose a lot of blood and consume a lot of nutrition. Peanut coats can help them nourish blood, so eat more. At the same time, peanut red also has the effect of growing hair and blackening hair; It can also increase platelets, increase the number of red blood cells and white blood cells, and enhance immunity.
Vegetable leaves are the "treasure house" of nutrition
Radish leaves are rich in vitamin A, which is an indispensable nutrient for skin and eyes. Moreover, radish leaves are rich in vitamin C, which can not only prevent skin aging and the formation of melanin, but also prevent vascular aging and arteriosclerosis. Dietary fiber in leaves can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and prevent constipation. In addition, its rich calcium is also a good source of calcium supplement. Radish leaves can be boiled into soup, which is very simple. Chop the leaves first and blanch them in boiling water; Pour in the egg mixture and season with salt and pepper.
Celery leaf Celery leaf can provide rich calcium and iron, which is a good food for people with osteoporosis and iron deficiency anemia. Celery leaves can also be supplemented with vitamins such as vitamin C and vitamin E. When cooking celery, it is recommended not to choose celery leaves, but to wash the whole plant for cooking.
Orange collaterals protect blood vessels
When many people eat oranges, they always tear the white meridians on the surface of orange petals completely after peeling the orange peel. In fact, orange collaterals contain a vitamin called "Luding", which can maintain the normal elasticity and density of human blood vessels, reduce the brittleness and permeability of blood vessel walls, and prevent capillary hemorrhage, cerebral hemorrhage in hypertensive patients and retinal hemorrhage in diabetic patients. For people with bleeding tendency at ordinary times, especially the elderly with arteriosclerosis tendency, eating orange collaterals is more beneficial.
Orange peel protects spleen and stomach
We usually eat oranges and throw away the skins. In fact, what you throw is good medicine. Cut the fresh orange peel into thin strips, dry it in a cool and ventilated place, and it will become dried orange peel after one year.
Chenpi can regulate qi and spleen and stomach. Whenever their family cooks meat dishes, they always put some dried tangerine peel in the pot. Eating too much meat can easily lead to bloating and indigestion. Putting some dried tangerine peel can solve this problem well. Chenpi meat dishes will also have a special flavor. How much should I put? A plate of fried shredded beef, just put 3-5 grams.
Nowadays, many people are busy socializing, eat a lot of fish and meat, often have indigestion and flatulence, which is called "fullness in the chest" in Chinese medicine. What shall we do? Pericarpium Citri Tangerinae and Fructus Aurantii Immaturus are a pair of "best partners". Tangerine peel 10g and Fructus Aurantii Immaturus 6g can be decocted in water to treat chest pain. Someone asked, since dried tangerine peel is orange peel, is it ok to use fresh orange peel? Chen Wenbo said that fresh orange peel contains a lot of volatile oil and is not suitable for medicine, so it is still necessary to use processed orange peel.
Orange pit relieves dysmenorrhea
Orange peel is a treasure, orange pit, which is called "orange pit" in Chinese medicine and has great medicinal value. Chen Wenbo said that orange pit can treat women's hernia and dysmenorrhea.
When many girls come to menstruation, their stomachs are cold and painful, indicating that their stomachs are cold and their mouths are sour. This is called "getting angry and getting cold". At this time, you can use the orange core. Orange pit has the functions of regulating qi, warming stomach and relieving pain, which can not only dispel cold, but also relieve pain. It is recommended to make tea with orange core, generally 3-5 grams; If the pain is severe, you can use10g.
Phoenix suit for treating trauma
The inner side of the eggshell is covered with a thin film of egg white, which has a very nice name in Chinese medicine, called "Phoenix Clothes". The ancients studied its medicinal value a lot.
Compendium of Materia Medica says that the ancients used to lick it with their tongues to see if the blade was sharp. Careless, the tongue was scratched a big hole, and some even broke. When a charlatan meets such a patient, he quickly cracks an egg, takes out the film, wraps his tongue, and then coats it with beeswax. After three days, the tongue will grow out. If you accidentally break your hand when cutting vegetables, you can also peel off the phoenix coat and stick it on the wound to play its role of convergence, hemostasis and anti-inflammation. Modern research shows that Phoenix coat is a semi-permeable membrane, which allows small molecules such as water molecules to pass through, while macromolecules such as glucose and protein are blocked. Using it to treat trauma is to take advantage of this.
It is also very useful to take Phoenix orally. According to Compendium of Materia Medica, Fengyi can cure chronic cough. Sun-dried Phoenix coat, ground into powder with mortar, daily 1 g, and drunk with water; Or adding Bulbus Fritillariae Thunbergii, Folium Bambusae, Radix Peucedani and Semen Armeniacae Amarum, and decocting.
Walnut chopping trees to tonify kidney
A woman with urinary incontinence went to see Chen Wenbo. Western medicine diagnosed her with "overactive bladder". When abdominal pressure increases, such as exercise or laughter, a small amount of urine will be left behind. Chinese medicine believes that the root of urinary incontinence is kidney deficiency.
How do urinary incontinence patients tonify kidney? Chen Wenbo said that we must use a blinding drug: distraction. Split wood is the gap between two walnuts, also called walnut block. Has good effects of tonifying kidney, benefiting qi and consolidating kidney.
In addition to treating urinary incontinence, ordinary middle-aged and elderly people can also use chopping wood to soak in water for health care, because middle-aged and elderly people have more or less the problem of insufficient kidney qi. Some male nocturnal emission can also be distracted. Its medicinal properties are very peaceful and have astringent effects.
Remove fire from eggplant pedicle
When people eat eggplant, they often cut it and throw it away, but in the view of Chinese medicine, it is also a rare medicinal material.
Eggplant itself is a cold food, and the eggplant pedicle is even colder. Chinese medicine says that cool herbs have the effect of clearing away heat and toxic materials. Like blood under intestinal wind, that is, hemorrhoids and bloody stool, or toothache, sores on the body, indicating that there is fire in the body, you can use eggplant pedicle to clear away heat and detoxify. If you feel angry, if you happen to have fresh eggplant at home, you can directly cut the eggplant pedicle and eat it in the dish, which can alleviate the illness. Use fresh eggplant pedicle and coptis root, phellodendron bark or lotus plumule to decoct and soak in water, which can cure aphtha.
Cooked vegetable roots prevent colds.
The weather is changeable, and colds often come unexpectedly. Onion root, coriander root, cabbage head and fennel root are all "wastes" that will be thrown away when cooking, but they can come in handy at this time.
Scallion root 3-5g, coriander root 3-5g, cabbage head 10- 15g, ginger 3-5g, fennel root 3-5g, and water 100ml are decocted twice, which is the "Chenwuhu Decoction" handed down from their family. Of these five herbs, except cabbage head, the other four are pungent and warm. The pungent-warming drugs have the function of relieving exterior syndrome and sweating, and are specially aimed at wind-cold colds characterized by low fever, chills, headaches and aches all over the body. Take this medicine, cover the quilt and sweat all over, and you will be fine in a moment. Most colds in autumn and winter are wind-cold type, so this medicine is symptomatic for most patients.
This recipe is called "Five Tiger Soup" because of its powerful effect. A patient with a fever of 38.5 degrees Celsius covered himself with a quilt after drinking soup. Half an hour later, he was sweating all over. When he took his temperature, it was 37 degrees Celsius. Take it two or three times a day and your body temperature will basically return to normal. If everyone around you has a cold, people who are not sick can also take this medicine to a certain extent.
