Now it is suggested to soak horse teeth in water for health preservation. Here, I want to talk about what it is with my own personal experience.
In fact, horse teeth are a kind of weeds that cannot be seen in rural areas. It is extremely fertile, competing for nutrients with crops and vegetables, and has strong vitality. It can survive for a long time after leaving the soil. As feed, cattle and sheep don't eat it, and feeding rabbits will cause diarrhea in rabbits. Most of them are used for chopping and retting pig feed.
In those days when food was scarce, people used horse teeth as food. I used to eat them for three years. Seeking truth from facts, it has almost no effect except filling the stomach. I still want to throw up when I think about it now. Speaking of edema, many villagers mainly eat horse teeth, and their bodies are still swollen.
Maybe I am stubborn. Up to now, the only thing I can drink in water is tea and coffee.
Our ancestors were very clever, and everything suitable for eating and drinking was screened clearly and clearly for us. Such as rice, tea and Chinese cabbage.
Since horse teeth are so magical, why have they been cleared as weeds until now? If it is planted as a vegetable and used as a raw material for health care products, its output should be considerable.
Some people may say that Compendium of Materia Medica clearly says that it has medicinal functions. As we all know, drugs are toxic in three aspects. Moreover, it is best not to moan when taking medicine when you are sick. Even if it does have a health care effect, it may be minimal. It may be whimsical to hope that drinking a few cups of horse teeth soaked in water every day can ensure good health.
In recent years, there are endless arguments that weeds can be cured by soaking in water, such as plantain, dandelion and bitter vegetable. What's more, it is rumored that frogs can also soak in water to eat. As a result, many people were poisoned after drinking it.
Advise friends, don't listen to the wind is rain, just follow the trend when soaking in water. Drink tea when you are thirsty, eat when you are hungry and take medicine when you are sick. Don't make a fuss and listen to rumors.
