The most commonly used Chinese medicine for nourishing yin-Lycium barbarum.

Nourishing yin is a term of traditional Chinese medicine, which refers to a therapy of nourishing yin liquid. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the growth of human body in nature needs the balance of yin and yang and the balance of excess and deficiency. The "yin and yang" of the human body are fundamental to each other, and the "deficiency and excess" are both external and internal. Therefore, nourishing yin and tonifying deficiency is an important rule of Chinese medicine to regulate human body and maintain health. When the body is hyperactive due to yin deficiency, it is often manifested as hot flashes, night sweats, pallor, fatigue, upset or excessive heat, which leads to red tongue and dry mouth. At this time, it is necessary to readjust the balance of yin and yang in the human body and eat some medicated diets that nourish yin and replenish qi.

There are many commonly used traditional Chinese medicines for nourishing yin, such as American ginseng, Polygonatum odoratum, Adenophora adenophora, Ophiopogon japonicus, Lily, Asparagus, Dendrobium, Lycium barbarum and so on. Among them, the medicine for nourishing yin that we are all familiar with is Lycium barbarum.

Eating medlar every day can prolong life.

Lycium barbarum has been regarded as a spiritual thing since ancient times, and it was listed as "top grade" in Shennong Materia Medica Classic more than 2000 years ago, and it is called "long-term fitness to strengthen bones and muscles, keep fit, resist cold and heat". There was also a saying in the Song Dynasty that "eating Lycium barbarum will live forever".

Chinese medicine believes that Lycium barbarum has the effects of tonifying kidney and essence, nourishing liver and improving eyesight, and strengthening tendons and bones. Long-term use can delay aging and prolong life, especially for children, which can promote tooth growth, tooth replacement and bone development.

As a tonic, Lycium barbarum was especially popular in the Tang and Song Dynasties, and it was made into various medicated diets to nourish and strengthen the body. In the Tang Dynasty, besides Sun Simiao and Meng Chang often drank chinese wolfberry wine and lived a long life, Fang and Du Ruhui, the prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty, helped to govern the state affairs, and they were also too tired to get dizzy. Later, they ate "medlar and tremella soup", which was effective and energetic soon after use.

According to historical records, people who practice martial arts in Shaolin Temple like to stew dog meat with Lycium barbarum after practicing martial arts, which is considered as a big supplement. In Song Dynasty, gouqi porridge was also very common. It is believed that Gouqi porridge can "replenish essence and blood, kidney and qi", especially suitable for middle-aged and elderly people with blood deficiency and kidney deficiency.

Lycium barbarum is called "Mingmu Grass" and "Mingmu Zi" among the people. This is because Lycium barbarum has the function of improving eyesight. Any blurred vision caused by liver and kidney loss, black eyes and astringent eyes is really effective. Braised pork liver with Lycium barbarum is very helpful to enhance students' eyesight, especially in the recovery period of eye diseases.

The easiest way is to make tea, but it is best to put more at a time.

Generally speaking, people with yin deficiency are more energetic. If they raise Yin well, Yin and Yang will be balanced.
