1, gastrodia elata can nourish liver yin and inhibit liver fire.
Li Shizhen said in Compendium of Materia Medica: "Gastrodia elata is a medicine for separating liver meridian and liver qi", which can help people nourish liver yin and calm liver fire.
For example, some people with liver-blood deficiency or full of anger can't help losing their temper in life. Severe cases are accompanied by dizziness, headache and red eye. For such symptoms, the use of Gastrodia elata as a medicated diet in daily life has certain preventive and alleviating effects.
In addition, Gastrodia elata can also prevent and treat some diseases such as stroke, epilepsy, acute and chronic convulsion and infantile convulsion caused by internal movement of liver wind.
Gastrodia elata can help people to dispel wind and dredge collaterals.
When people get old, qi and blood, meridians and so on are more prone to some symptoms of blockage. Especially those who don't know how to keep in good health when they are young, or those who engage in heavy physical labor, often have limb pain and numbness, unfavorable joint flexion and extension, and even serious limb paralysis.
Gastrodia elata also has a good effect of expelling wind, dredging collaterals and relieving pain. Gastrodia elata can relieve rheumatism, numbness of limbs and other symptoms common in middle-aged and elderly people due to meridian obstruction.
In daily life, using some gastrodia elata as medicinal diet can also help people dispel wind and dredge collaterals. Gastrodia elata can effectively prevent or alleviate such diseases.
3. Gastrodia elata can resist aging and enhance immunity.
Modern medical research on gastrodia elata shows that gastrodin, gastrodia elata polysaccharide, organic acids and trace elements contained in gastrodia elata have other health-preserving functions.
For example, the effective components of Gastrodia elata can obviously help people slow down their heart rate, resist cell aging and oxidation, and enhance human immune function.
However, gastrodia elata is a good medicine for health, but it belongs to medicinal materials after all, and it should be eaten in moderation. Especially for people who are allergic to Gastrodia elata, or people who have obvious discomfort after eating Gastrodia elata, they should be used with caution.
