Seasons alternate, easy to be agitated and depressed. Choosing lilies can help you sleep and relieve your troubles.

Chen Wangquan, chairman of the All-China Federation of Physicians of Traditional Chinese Medicine, pointed out that lilies are all treasures, and flowers, leaves, roots and stems are all medicinal. According to the ancient Chinese book Shennong Herbal Classic, the golden needle is sweet, flat and non-toxic. When it enters the liver meridian and heart meridian, it can soothe the liver and soothe the nerves, clear away heat and toxic materials, help sleep and eliminate anxiety.

Lily is good for damp heat and edema.

The ancient book Compendium of Materia Medica also records that lilies can help digestion, replenish blood, relieve damp-heat and eliminate edema. At present, they are mainly distributed in Chinese mainland, such as Hebei, Gansu, Shandong, Hubei, Hunan, Shaanxi, Henan and Sichuan. In addition, it is cultivated in Taiwan Province Province. In Jijishan, Mizuho Town, Hualien County, daylily was promoted as a tourist attraction.

In order to avoid the toxicity of fresh lily, you can first blanch fresh lily with boiling water, then soak it in clear water for 65,438+0 hours, take it out, wash it, drain it and cook it.

Buy lilies and store them carefully with bleach.

Chen Wangquan, a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, emphasized that the flower taste of lily is quite crisp, which is not inferior to ordinary vegetables and foods. However, the lily on the market is actually a bud picked before it blooms. After drying, it is dried lily. Unscrupulous workers use sulfur dioxide or bleach when baking, so they need to pay special attention when buying.

1. Shopping: It is best to choose the baked Jin Baihe, which is naturally brown, with a faint aroma and no odor; As for fresh lily, the bud is three-dimensional, elastic and tastes good.

2. Preservation: Fresh lilies are not easy to preserve, so they need to be put into a bag for refrigeration immediately after being bought back and eaten as soon as possible; Dried lily can be stored in a cool place or in a refrigerator for about 1 year after it is put into a sealed bag.
