Before introducing Summer Health Soup, we should first understand the relationship between summer and human body in TCM theory. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, summer begins in long summer, with 24 solar terms and ends in big summer. The five elements belong to fire, little summer and big summer belong to long summer, and the five elements belong to earth. The human body itself has the function of automatic adjustment, but due to the influence of the external environment and its own behavior, this automatic adjustment is deviated, and the human body becomes sick. The conditioning of traditional Chinese medicine is to correct this deviation, and making soup is one of the ways to correct it. In summer, people always feel that they are prone to get angry, such as dry mouth, sweating, pale mouth, loss of appetite, heatstroke and other symptoms, which are caused by the excess or deficiency of the function of the human body to automatically regulate getting angry. What soup should I cook to recuperate? To grasp the nature of fire, fire should be diarrhea, and virtual fire should be clear.
The soup materials for purging fire include honeysuckle, rehmannia root, Scrophularia root, reed rhizome, Anemarrhena asphodeloides, Prunella vulgaris, polished rice grass and so on. Here are some soup combinations.
Boil soup to recuperate.
Rhizoma Anemarrhenae and Radix Rehmanniae Pork Soup (three persons): Rhizoma Anemarrhenae 10g, Radix Rehmanniae 12g, lean pork bone and pork 250g, water 2000ml, 1h, seasoning.
Suitable for people with dry mouth, bad breath and aphtha. It is recommended to take this soup 2 ~ 3 times a week. People who usually have a large amount of alcohol and tobacco can choose.
Heat-clearing and ribs soup (two persons): honeysuckle (honey flower is the best) 10g, Prunella vulgaris 15g, sparerib 250g, water 1200ml, boiled in water 1h for seasoning.
This soup is suitable for people with acne, but because honeysuckle is cold, long-term drinking will cause stomach cold symptoms such as vomiting. 65438+ 0 ~ 2 times a week is appropriate. It is suggested that patients with hypertension can choose, and patients with hypertension are advised not to take it.
Portulaca oleracea shredded pork and egg soup (three persons): dried Portulaca oleracea (preferably fresh 150g), 60g shredded lean meat and 2 eggs. Wash dried purslane with water, add 1500ml water and boil 15 ~ 20min. Take out Portulaca oleracea, add shredded pork, mix the eggs into paste, and pour them into boiled soup to taste.
This is boiled soup, or clear soup. It smells fresh. If it is fresh purslane, it can be eaten. Portulaca oleracea has the effects of clearing away heat and toxic materials, cooling blood and stopping dysentery, which can be eaten by the general population, especially the patients with gastrointestinal bacillary dysentery.
In addition to the conditioning effect of traditional Chinese medicine soup, vegetable and egg soup usually has a good heat-clearing effect, especially for patients with hypertension and diabetes. Because fresh vegetables are cold, it is suggested that people choose 1 ~ 2 times a week, which will affect the function of spleen and stomach, especially for young and old people. Too much is too late, which is also a taboo for health care.
