Traditional Chinese medicine believes that lotus root is sweet in taste, cold in nature, enters the heart, spleen and stomach meridians, and has the effects of clearing away heat and promoting fluid production, cooling blood and removing blood stasis, strengthening spleen and appetizing, and stopping diarrhea.
From the nutritional point of view, lotus root contains human starch, protein, B vitamins, vitamin C, fat, carbohydrates, calcium, phosphorus, iron and other minerals, and is often regarded as a good blood tonic.
There is a story about a young girl who unfortunately suffered from anemia, but because her family was poor, she could not afford to go to the hospital for treatment. But the girl's mother learned from relatives and friends that lotus root can treat anemia. As a result, she gives the girl lotus root juice every day. After drinking for a while, the girl's anemia symptoms magically disappeared.
Seeing this story, can lotus root be classified as a powerful blood tonic? What I want to say is that although lotus root has the effect of enriching blood, it is not suitable for everyone.
Anemia is clinically divided into iron deficiency anemia, hemorrhagic anemia, hemolytic anemia, hematopoietic dysfunction anemia, thalassemia and so on. But lotus root only has a certain dietotherapy effect on iron deficiency anemia. If you ignore the cause of anemia and blindly use lotus root for diet therapy, it will inevitably delay your illness.
So remind everyone that if there are symptoms of anemia, we must first determine the cause of anemia, and then treat it according to syndrome differentiation.
