Ejiao has a good hemostatic effect, and is often used to treat bleeding caused by yin deficiency and excessive fire, vascular injury and so on. It can also be used to treat gastric ulcer bleeding due to deficiency-cold if it is combined with herbs for warming channels and dispelling cold. In a word, Ejiao is an important drug for nourishing yin, reducing fire and stopping bleeding, and it is most suitable for bleeding due to yin deficiency and excessive fire.
Gao, a professor at Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, an academic leader of clinical Chinese medicine, a key discipline in state administration of traditional chinese medicine and a member of the expert group of major diseases research in state administration of traditional chinese medicine, said that Ejiao not only meets the prescription of delivering medicine, but also has the habit of taking Ejiao alone for tonic since ancient times.
The primary function of eating Ejiao alone is to replenish blood. For patients with malnutrition anemia, aplastic anemia, hemorrhagic anemia, etc., Ejiao has been used as a good blood-enriching drug for thousands of years because it can promote the production of hemoglobin and supplement a lot of colloidal protein for the body.
According to Gao, the proportion of patients with fatigue syndrome in chronic disease clinics is getting higher and higher, and some countries even reach 20%. These patients generally have low fever, insomnia, depression and unexplained lymphadenopathy for more than half a year.
Modern research shows that Ejiao has the functions of anti-fatigue, improving immunity, calming the nerves and supplementing basic substances. Therefore, for the sub-healthy people with fatigue syndrome, taking Ejiao regularly and moderately will play a very good role in restoring physical fitness.
Another noteworthy group is the increasing number of cancer patients. Gao said that these people are weak because of tumor erosion, and they urgently need to supplement nutrition, improve their quality of life and prolong their lives. Colla Corii Asini has the function of enhancing immune function and resisting radiation, and is an essential tonic for such patients to overcome tumors in comprehensive treatment.
In fact, there is no gender orientation in the various functions of Ejiao. But many people think Ejiao is a tonic for women at present. We generally believe that women mainly nourish yin and replenish blood, while men mainly replenish yang. However, Chinese medicine emphasizes that people who are good at tonifying yang should seek yang from yin, and the effect of tonifying yang with yin is good.
Many historical documents record that Ejiao is a tonic for men. During the Three Kingdoms period, it was emphasized in Records of Famous Doctors that Ejiao could treat male fatigue and emaciation, and it was also recorded in Compendium of Materia Medica that Ejiao could treat male joint pain. In modern clinical application, Ejiao has a certain therapeutic effect on male impotence, sexual dysfunction and sexual injury. It is true that the efficacy of Ejiao in nourishing yin and enriching blood is very suitable for women, but no matter men or women, anyone with yin deficiency and blood deficiency can choose Ejiao for tonic. Ejiao is the product of nourishing yin and blood after all, and should be used with caution for those with weak spleen and stomach and thin stool. Therefore, in the process of taking it, we must pay attention to observation. If you have indigestion symptoms such as diarrhea, you should stop taking it.
Because Ejiao nourishes yin and blood, it won't get angry, so it can be taken for life. Gao suggested that if the donkey-hide gelatin block is made into powder and taken with milk, it is not only very convenient, but also increases the effect of calcium supplementation. If you take gelatin powder with the soup of Ophiopogon japonicus, American ginseng and Lycium barbarum, you can also enhance the efficacy of nourishing yin and enriching blood.
? Chinese medicine believes that Ejiao is sweet and flat, and has the effects of nourishing yin, enriching blood and preventing miscarriage. According to research, Ejiao contains a variety of protein, amino acids, calcium, etc., which can improve the blood calcium balance and promote erythropoiesis. In addition, Ejiao can raise blood pressure and prevent hemorrhagic shock.
Zhu Chen, Minister of Health of China, said at the two sessions: Ejiao is the only nutritional and active blood-enriching nutrient with longevity gene in the world. There are 5,000 kinds of health products in Europe and America, and 4,000 kinds in China. However, Ejiao is the only blood-enriching active nutritious food that has won the World Outstanding Contribution Award. Known as the "king of health"!
