Ginger soaked in vinegar
The health care method of ginger has a long history. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius had the habit of never leaving ginger all the year round. There is a saying in The Analects of Confucius and the hard-working townships that "ginger doesn't eat, let alone eat". Zhu in the Southern Song Dynasty said in Notes on the Analects of Confucius: "Ginger can enlighten the gods, eliminate disasters and help them." There is also a record about ginger in Shennong Materia Medica Classic, the earliest extant monograph of traditional Chinese medicine: "Dry ginger is pungent and warm, mainly used to relieve chest fullness, cough and asthma, warm the middle warmer to stop bleeding, sweat, expel rheumatism and pain, and benefit the intestine." In Compendium of Materia Medica, Li Shizhen also praised the wonderful use of ginger: "Ginger, pungent and effortless, can be cooked, reconciled, fruitful and medicinal."
The soup boiled with ginger also has a name called "Resurrection Soup". In Su Dongpo's Miscellaneous Syndrome, an 80-year-old monk in Jingci Temple, Qiantang, who looked like a boy, was also recorded. He asked him why he was "dressed in ginger for forty years, so he was not old." There are also folk sayings such as "three slices of ginger in the morning, no need to open them", "ginger in winter, no fear of wind and frost", "radish in winter and ginger in summer, no need to ask a doctor for a prescription" and "ginger at home, no need to panic about minor illnesses".
working methods
Slice the ginger first It is best to use fresh ginger, which has a very good medicinal effect and can also enhance blood circulation and promote digestion. Ginger slices need not be cut too thick, but they must be cut evenly.
Vinegar should be original balsamic vinegar. If vinegar essence and blended vinegar are used, it will not play the role of traditional Chinese medicine. In western Henan, persimmon vinegar has been used to soak Jiang Ye for thousands of years. Although the living conditions of local people are poor, their average life expectancy is very long.
Put the cut ginger into the bottle, and then pour the vinegar into the bottle. Note that this bottle must be cleaned and there must be no oil in it to avoid ginger deterioration; Vinegar must not pass through the ginger slices, so the ginger slices can't be exposed. Then, put this bottle of ginger slices soaked in vinegar in the refrigerator. After a week, you can eat 2~4 slices of fresh ginger every day, which has a very good effect of reducing blood fat and adjuvant treatment of arthritis. If you take it for a long time, you won't get hurt when you get old, and you can live longer.
mechanism
People in China think that adding original balsamic vinegar to ginger is a good fitness method. Because the sour taste has converged, the strength of ginger has also converged, and Jiang Ye has become peaceful, without the spicy taste of ginger.
Vinegar directly passes through the liver meridian, and the liver will converge when it encounters acid. At this time, the hair-raising function of ginger also entered the liver, which can increase the qi of liver yang.
What we usually say about male yang deficiency is actually liver yang deficiency. At this time, if the liver yang is directly supplemented, it will get angry and can't be supplemented at all. Ginger rises to yang, and vinegar is astringent. If you eat ginger slices soaked in vinegar, you can make up this medicine on the liver at once, which not only nourishes yang, but also soothes liver qi.
And this method will not dissipate the yang in the spleen and stomach too much. Because people will sweat slightly after eating ginger, and the excess yang is emitted with sweat, which means that these energies are replenished for you in the liver and are not wasted at all.
