Nowadays, people pay great attention to health care. People often take medlar and astragalus, red dates, roses and chrysanthemums to soak in water, and sometimes medlar and angelica will make soup together. We all know that Angelica sinensis and Lycium barbarum are very important medicinal materials. Because of their many functions, they are generally used to cook chicken soup. Lycium barbarum is also a kind of traditional Chinese medicine, and some of it is also used to cook porridge. It seems that the health care in life is really inseparable from Lycium barbarum.

Let's take a look at the functions of Lycium barbarum: promoting fluid production to quench thirst, improving circulating anthocyanins, improving blood circulation, restoring lost microvascular function and strengthening fragile blood vessels, so blood vessels are more elastic; Enriching blood, calming nerves and improving sleep? It can prevent the early generation of skin wrinkles and is the most effective antioxidant in nature at present. Nourishing the liver and improving eyesight; Anti-fatigue and lowering blood pressure; Tonify kidney and essence, prevent cancer, etc. It seems that Lycium barbarum does have many functions.

Many people like to soak Lycium barbarum in water, because Lycium barbarum is dry and the taste is unacceptable to many people. But it would be better to chew it directly. Because Lycium barbarum contains a variety of vitamins and active substances, boiling water or boiling water will make some nutrients lose. Therefore, it is recommended to wash it first, then soak it in cold water until soft, and then chew it.

Besides Lycium barbarum, ginseng is the same. Ginseng can be eaten not only in water, but also directly. Ginseng is the king of medicine, which supplements qi and blood, but it is easy to get angry if you eat too much. There are many ways to eat:

Oral administration 1: Slice ginseng, take 2-3 tablets at a time, put them in your mouth, chew them carefully, and refresh yourself. It also has a good effect of eliminating diseases and prolonging life, but it will get angry if you eat it directly, so you can only eat less than 3 tablets at a time.

2 cups of stew, 2 ~ 5g a day, put ginseng slices into a porcelain bowl, add appropriate amount of water, seal the bowl mouth, put it on a steamer in the pot, steam it in water, and then cook it with low fire for 20~30 minutes. This way of eating is not easy to get angry.

Soak in water, take it with boiling water, cover it for about 5 minutes, and take it repeatedly in the same way until there is no ginseng flavor, even ginseng slices are eaten together.

In addition to ginseng and medlar, there are many medicines that can be used as medicine and food, such as jujube, rehmannia root and longan.
