Now people's living conditions are getting better and better, but there are more and more diseases, and they are getting younger and younger. Many young people are also frequent visitors to various chronic diseases, and even cancers that make people "talk about cancer discoloration" are commonplace, which is really hard to prevent.
As the saying goes, eating is very important for food, so we should eat less junk food, eat more fresh and healthy food, and take proper exercise to improve our immunity, thus reducing the chance of getting sick.
In fact, there are many natural health products in our life, which are of great help to our health. The plant I shared with you today is a common wild vegetable in rural areas and a natural "health-preserving dish".
This wild vegetable is a plant named after a fairy. Its name is Fei Lian. Fei Lian is a fairy with Shen Feng in ancient fairy tales. Her name is Fei Lian.
Why is it called feilian? This is because its stem seems to have many thorns, which look like arrow feathers, and its wings can just treat the common cold, so the famous Li Shizhen is named after Fengshen, which is also a plant named after its purpose.
Fei Lian is a biennial or perennial herb of Pterocarya stenoptera in Compositae, which is mostly found in roadsides, fields, grasslands, valleys, ditches, forest margins and other places, and distributed in Ningxia, Beijing, Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, Yunnan, Gansu, Hunan, Zhejiang, Hubei, Guangdong, Fujian and other provinces in China.
Anyone who knows Feilian knows that although it is full of thorns, it can be eaten as a wild vegetable when it is young. Can be used for cooking, stuffing, cold salad, fried eggs, boiled noodles, hot pot and so on. It has a unique taste and rich nutrition, and is deeply loved by everyone.
Fei Lian contains a variety of essential nutrients and has high health care value. In particular, it contains alkaloids, which has a good antihypertensive effect, so it is called "health dish" by many elderly people, and it is non-toxic and deeply loved by the elderly in their hometown.
Fei Lian blooms in summer with a flower head and a purple thorn head. Except for the flower head, the whole body is covered with thorns, which looks particularly like thistle, which is familiar to everyone in the countryside. Fei Lian and Cirsium japonicum are both compositae plants, so they will look very similar, and many people can't tell them apart.
In fact, feilian is not only edible, but also a Chinese herbal medicine. Although it is a common Chinese herbal medicine, it has many wonderful uses. Can be used as medicine for various medicines, and has the functions of clearing away heat and promoting diuresis, benefiting qi and nourishing yin, promoting fluid production and quenching thirst.
In daily life, it can be used to treat wind-heat common cold, dizziness due to head wind, urinary tract infection, hematuria, leukorrhagia, cough and asthma, menorrhagia, cervical erosion, wind-heat joint pain, itchy skin, traumatic swelling and pain, furuncle, scald and fire injury. And has a certain curative effect.
Such a valuable plant used to be a feed plant, a kind of food that cows, sheep, horses and donkeys all like to eat. Because of its precious value, it later became a delicious food for ordinary people, and even was called "health food" by the elderly, which was liked by the whole family, old and young.
Dear friends, do you have this kind of feilian in your hometown? It is shaped like thistle. This is a plant named after a fairy. Old people call it "healthy food". Everyone in my hometown likes it. Have you eaten?
