Chinese medicine pays attention to five grains, five animals, five vegetables and five fruits. The so-called help is to help digestion after eating, so the fruit is definitely not the protagonist, it is just a supporting role.
But now many people put the cart before the horse, eat fruit as a meal, but abandon the staple food, which is wrong in general. The result of eating like this is that your essence and blood are not supplemented and nourished. After a long time, it will lead to the first injury to the essence, then the injury to the gas, and finally the injury to the spirit, resulting in a serious anorexia tendency.
Although the fruit itself contains various vitamins, minerals, sugars and a lot of cellulose, when it comes to roots, whether the fruit is a fruit or not. The pulp of fruit is not the most essential thing in plants, but the most essential thing in plants is in seeds, that is, in the stone.
Eating a small amount of fruit can nourish yin and body fluid. Eating too much will lead to more serious diarrhea and expel nutrients, food and body fluids that you haven't had time to digest. So many people will lose their nutrition after eating fruit.
So the choice of fruit should be scientific and correct.
apple
Chinese medicine believes that apples are sour and sweet, and their nature is cold and cool. Eating apples in moderation can quench thirst and moisten dryness.
Drinking soju or white wine and eating some apples can reduce or balance the thermal toxicity of wine; If you eat less apples and play its sour taste instead of cold, then apples also have antidiarrheal effect; But if you eat too much or eat improperly, it will lead to severe diarrhea.
Nowadays many people blindly learn from foreigners. Foreigners say that an apple a day can lead to a long and healthy life, which is very wrong. Different races have different eating habits. If you don't consider your own situation, blindly copy the western diet model and eat an apple every day, it is easy to hurt your stomach first, then your small intestine and large intestine, and finally your whole body.
The sour taste of apples has astringent effect. Convergence can balance and reduce the stimulation of spicy food on gastrointestinal tract. We all know that Koreans love spicy kimchi, but remember that kimchi not only contains a lot of peppers, but also fresh shredded apples to balance the spicy taste. Therefore, for people who are angry or have high blood pressure and irritability, or who drink too much, using apple juice or chewing some apples can play a very good role in relieving them.
In addition, you can chop up, mash, wring juice, steam into thick paste, and add some fresh honey to relieve symptoms such as dry mouth and dry stool caused by insufficient yin fluid in the spleen, stomach, lungs and large intestine.

Hawthorn slices and peony bark are believed to be familiar to everyone. Hawthorn cake is also called Beijing cake. Beijing cake shredded pear is a delicious and refreshing classic cold dish in Beijing cuisine.
The food made by hawthorn is so common because hawthorn has important medicinal value. Hawthorn has been a good medicine for invigorating spleen and appetizing, resolving food stagnation, promoting blood circulation and resolving phlegm since ancient times. The utilization of hawthorn in traditional Chinese medicine is mainly the use of fruit.

Pomegranate, a deciduous shrub or small tree, originated in Central Asia, that is, Iran and Afghanistan, and was introduced to China after Zhang Qian's voyage to the West in Han Dynasty.
Pomegranate usually blooms from May to June in the solar calendar. Pomegranate flowers are brightly colored and red as fire. They are good ornamental flowers and trees in summer. Chinese medicine grinds dried pomegranate flower into fine powder and keeps it for later use. If taken during acute bleeding, such as epistaxis and female uterine bleeding, it can stop bleeding quickly. For acute burns, applying pomegranate pollen to the affected area can promote wound healing without leaving scars.
Pomegranate fruit ripens in autumn. Because of its bright colors and full seeds, it is often used in festive occasions, symbolizing many children and grandchildren and prosperous families. Pomegranate is ripe, which coincides with the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, so pomegranate is also a fruit we often eat in autumn.
Mature pomegranate is bright red or pink in color, and often cracks, revealing gem-like crystal clear seeds. A good pomegranate is big in grain, small in kernel, sweet and sour and juicy. Although it is a little troublesome to eat, it is delicious.
Pomegranate seed juice has very good effect of nourishing yin and moistening dryness. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that pomegranate is not as cold as pears and apples, because it blooms in summer, with bright red color and sweet and sour taste. Therefore, people with spleen and stomach deficiency and diarrhea who eat ordinary fruits can eat some pomegranate in moderation. In addition, although pomegranate is delicious, it is warm, and it is easy to help the fire and produce phlegm if you eat too much, so you should eat it in moderation and not be greedy. As the saying goes, "no beauty, no evil, no evil."
We use pomegranate in Chinese medicine, mainly its skin, that is, the pomegranate skin that wraps these seeds, and sometimes the root skin and bark of pomegranate trees. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that pomegranate peel tastes warm and sour, has a good astringency, and can even play a role in stopping diarrhea, stopping bleeding and killing insects. Pomegranate peel is often used by Chinese medicine for long-term diarrhea, chronic diarrhea, or long-term chronic cough, shortness of breath, hematochezia, metrorrhagia and metrorrhagia in women or a small amount of persistent bleeding.
There are many ways to take pomegranate peel orally and externally. We usually grind it into powder or fry it. For patients with long-term diarrhea, generally use pomegranate peel15g, add some ginger, brown sugar or white sugar, and drink before meals; Sometimes fresh pomegranate peel can be mashed, applied to the navel and fixed with adhesive tape. Generally, it can be used continuously for 24 hours to treat diarrhea in adults or children.
For people with hematochezia, we usually fry pomegranate peel and grind it into powder, and take it with warm water. Sometimes, we will fry the pomegranate peel until it is a little brown, add brown sugar after carbonization, or swallow it in capsules.
For diarrhea, qi deficiency, or even proctoptosis, generally, pomegranate bark gallnut soup is used to fumigate and wash the affected area.
For women with excessive leucorrhea, pomegranate peel is generally ground into powder and swallowed in capsules.
We also use pomegranate peel decoction to treat some skin diseases, such as neurodermatitis or psoriasis.
Pomegranate peel and pomegranate tree root bark both contain pomegranate rinine, which has anesthetic effect on human parasites. In ancient times, it can repel insects, especially tapeworms, and can be used to treat abdominal pain and scabies caused by insect accumulation.
