Mid-May every year is the beginning of the rainy season in Taiwan Province Province, commonly known as "entering the plum blossom". Rainy days may last for two whole months. Because it rains for a long time, clothes and food are prone to mildew, so plum blossom has another name: "mildew rain" Chen Qiwen, a Chinese medicine practitioner, said that such weather often leads to backache, dizziness, diarrhea and other symptoms, which are exogenous from the perspective of Chinese medicine.
The first choice for tonifying kidney is "black" and "salty"
Dr. Chen Qiwen pointed out that every black man must tonify the kidney; In the theory of five elements of TCM, black and kidney correspond to water, such as "black beans", "black rice" and "black sesame", among which beans are praised as the valley of kidney by the ancients because they look like kidneys. He added that black beans can tonify the kidney and strengthen the body, and promote blood circulation and diuresis. Modern scientific research has found that these black foods contain vitamin E, which can achieve antioxidant effect and remove free radicals that accelerate human aging.
Salty taste into the kidney; Salty taste, people often think of salt, and salty ingredients are mostly seafood and meat, such as kelp, seaweed, seaweed, cuttlefish, pork and so on. Among them, kelp is not only helpful for patients with hypertension, but also has a special preventive effect on kidney diseases.
At the same time, there is also a top-grade medicine for invigorating spleen and kidney.
Dr Chen Qiwen suggested that yam is a good product for both medicine and food. Li Shizhen once said that Chinese yam "benefits kidney qi and strengthens spleen and stomach". Yam is not only used as medicine by Chinese medicine, but also often made into delicious food, such as raw food, porridge, tea, etc., which can play a role in dietotherapy.
