First, the four functions and functions of lotus.
I'm afraid the medicine of lotus is the greatest. Lotus has been used as medicine in China for more than 2,000 years. Lotus leaf, lotus leaf, lotus seed and even lotus powder all have different functions. It can be said that lotus is full of treasures. What are the effects and functions of lotus and lotus root starch?
1, the whole body can be used as medicine.
Lotus is warm and bitter. Mainly used for eliminating dampness and expelling wind, and treating traumatic injury. Lotus leaf has the functions of relieving summer heat, promoting diuresis and treating hematochezia. Also, its lotus leaf pedicle can be used as abortion and blood supply, lotus seeds are effective for insomnia and dreaminess, lotus powder is effective for lowering blood pressure, thirst and nocturnal emission, and lotus root festival also has the effect of removing blood stasis.
Step 2 soak lotus seed tea
I believe that drinking scented tea is a kind of drink that everyone is very familiar with. Lotus seed tea tastes bitter, but it can promote intestinal peristalsis and help us excrete toxins. Moreover, lotus seed tea also contains tea leptin. Long-term drinking can help the human body improve its metabolic function and help to lose weight, which is the gospel of female friends.
3. As food
I believe many people have eaten fried lotus. Crispy lotus skin is crisp, golden and shiny in color, and fragrant, which can be said to be very attractive. In addition to frying lotus, lotus can also be used to nourish porridge, make lotus pancakes, stew chicken soup, and make flower rolls, which are all very good choices. The function and efficacy of lotus can be said to be the gospel of eating goods from this perspective.
Step 4: Make honey.
Lotus pollen can also be used to make lotus honey. Lotus pollen can be said to be a very valuable bee pollen variety. Honey lotus powder has natural beauty effect and can promote skin regeneration. It can also prevent and treat prostate diseases, eliminate toxins in the body and promote the development of human immune organs.
Second, the taboo of drinking lotus seed tea
Although the efficacy and function of lotus are very beneficial to human body, just like two sides of things, there are good and bad, suitable and unsuitable. Lotus as a food also has many taboos, as well as people who are suitable for eating and those who are not suitable for sharing. #p# Subtitle #e#
1, taboo population
Lotus seed tea is indeed a very suitable tea for health preservation, but friends with spleen deficiency and kidney cold, low blood pressure and thin constitution are not suitable for drinking lotus seed tea, because lotus seed tea is cold, and if such people drink lotus seed tea frequently, it is likely to lead to serious renal failure. And pregnant women are not allowed to drink alcohol.
2. Taboo time
The time for drinking lotus seed tea is also particular. You can't drink it if you think about it. It is not suitable to drink scented tea within half an hour before meals, which will affect our indigestion when eating. Drink lotus seed tea after meals in an hour. In addition, don't drink it when you get up early on an empty stomach and before you rest at night.
3, taboo with food
When drinking tea, don't use it with tung oil, silver and poria cocos, because these foods conflict with lotus seed tea, and eating them at the same time may cause nausea, vomiting and other symptoms. In addition, when drinking lotus seed tea again, don't drink it with Pu 'er and green tea, which will cause several teas to conflict with each other and affect the effect.
Third, the choice and practice of lotus seed tea
When we make lotus tea, we must choose the right lotus, so it is best to say that the quality of lotus is the best from July to September, and the taste of wild lotus is much better than that of artificially cultured lotus. When used to make tea, wild lotus can keep its fresh taste.
How to make lotus tea: We only need to pick a wild lotus flower, which is usually picked in August of the lunar calendar by hand. After picking, take out all the petals and steam them in a pot. Steam, cut into large pieces, and dry. Make sure there is no moisture in the sun, otherwise it will be moldy. Then put it in boiling water for six or seven minutes at a time.
Conclusion: Through the above introduction, I believe everyone knows the function and efficacy of lotus and the taboo of lotus tea. I hope everyone can eat according to their own situation!
