Oysters are called "the wife of the sea" in the west, "the brown rice of the sea" in Japan and "the power of the sea" in Roujing. The earliest use of drugs can be traced back to the period of Shennong Herbal Classic.
Oyster is the shell of oyster, Dalian oyster or near-river oyster. Mainly produced in Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Shandong, and can be fished all year round.
Remove the pulp from the oyster shell, wash, dry in the sun, and take medicine to get raw oysters. The washed oyster is calcined to grayish white on a smokeless fire, taken out, cooled, crushed and used as medicine to obtain the calcined oyster.
Medicinal properties of oysters: salty, slightly cold. Liver, gallbladder and kidney meridians entered. Shennong's herbal classics: salty and flat. Indications: typhoid fever, cold and fever, warm malaria, fear of anger, arrest, rat leakage, red and white women. It takes a long time to strengthen joints and kill evil spirits.
Let's take a look at the specific effects of oysters:
Oysters are salty and cold, enter the liver meridian, have the function of calming the liver and suppressing yang, and can benefit yin. They use water instead of wood, yin deficiency and yang hyperactivity.
So what is water without wood?
Water does not contain wooden culvert, which means moistening. Kidney belongs to water and liver belongs to wood. When kidney yin deficiency can't nourish liver wood, liver yin is insufficient, deficiency wind moves inside, and water does not contain wood.
Modern people have an irregular life. They don't have a good rest after working all night, and often brush their mobile phones late at night. Soaking Lycium barbarum in a thermos bottle during the day and staying up late at night is called punk health preservation. I don't know that staying up late for a long time hurts kidney yin the most; There are also congenital defects, which were brought from the womb of parents. If the endowment is insufficient, it will easily lead to kidney yin deficiency.
Chinese medicine believes that kidney belongs to water, liver belongs to wood, kidney belongs to water and liver belongs to wood, and liver and kidney are homologous. Long-term deficiency of kidney yin will lead to deficiency of liver yin. Yin deficiency of liver and kidney, naturally due to yin deficiency and hyperactivity of yang, will lead to water containing no wood and symptoms of dizziness and tinnitus.
Oysters calm the liver and suppress yang, which can benefit yin. It is often used to control water without involving wood, yin deficiency and hyperactivity of yang, dizziness and tinnitus, and is often used equally with tortoise shell, keel and white peony.
If you have a fever for a long time, the body fluid will be damaged, the meridians and limbs will not be nourished, and the wind will be weak and move internally. Symptoms are: limb twitching and trembling. It is combined with tortoise shell, turtle shell and Radix Rehmanniae to nourish yin, stop wind and relieve spasm.
Lymphadenitis: a surgical infectious disease, born in the neck. Nuclei of different sizes can be palpated between the flesh of the neck, and these nuclei are connected in series, with the small one called carbuncle and the large one called carbuncle.
Masses: refer to tumors, nodules, lymphadenopathy, subcutaneous lipomas, etc.
Now more and more people find nodules, lipomas and so on. Nodules are easy to appear during physical examination, especially in the lungs, liver and thyroid. If it is not particularly serious, the general doctor will let you observe and check it regularly.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the formation of scrofula and abscess is mainly related to qi stagnation, phlegm coagulation and blood stasis. When the stagnation of liver qi develops further, the spleen and stomach are damaged, and the movement of the spleen and stomach is abnormal, phlegm coagulation will occur at this time, or blood stasis will occur when blood circulation is unfavorable, forming nodules.
Therefore, I advise everyone here to develop good living habits, adjust their emotions at ordinary times, and don't get angry. Being in a bad mood for a long time can cause many diseases. The recent accident of China Eastern Airlines tells us that everything is a trivial matter compared with life and death!
Oysters are salty, can soften and disperse hard masses, and are often used together with Fritillaria thunbergii and Scrophularia to treat phlegm, scrofula and scrofula caused by phlegm-fire stagnation.
For epigastric mass caused by blood stasis and qi stagnation, it is often combined with turtle shell, salvia miltiorrhiza and zedoary.
If you ask the workers what is the happiest thing, some people will have a good sleep when they are tired, but even the simple thing of sleeping is a luxury for some people.
Some people have nightmares when they fall asleep at night, dreaming that they are either dead or chased and then awakened; Some people play tricks while dreaming and have a good night's sleep.
Oysters are important for calming nerves. They are often used with Gu Long and Ziziphus jujuba seeds to treat anxiety, palpitation, insomnia and dreaminess.
Oyster has astringent effect after calcination and can be used for various slippery diseases.
For example, spontaneous sweating commonly uses floating wheat; If night sweats are often treated with ephedra root.
Calcined oyster has the function of making acid and relieving pain. Can be used for treating stomachache and pantothenic acid, and can also be combined with drugs such as cuttlebone, concha arcae and clam.

oyster meat
Oyster is also known as oyster, oyster yellow and oyster. Taste: sweet, salty and flat.
Oyster meat has three functions:
1. Nourishing yin and promoting fluid production, used for body fluid injury, thirst, oligospermia, etc.
2. Nourishing blood and calming nerves is used to treat insomnia, night sweats and anxiety caused by blood deficiency.
3. Soft and hard mass is used for scrofula and swelling and pain.
From the solstice of winter to the Qingming of the next year, oyster meat is the most delicious and delicious time. As the saying goes, "from the solstice of winter to Qingming, oyster meat is fat and crystal clear."
Oysters can be made into famous seasoning oyster sauce. Oyster oil is not oily, but the soup left during the processing of oyster oil is oyster oil after filtration and concentration.
Oysters contain a lot of taurine, which is highly valued by nutritionists and clinicians. Taurine is a sulfur-containing amino acid with many physiological activities. It plays an important physiological role in the normal development of infant retina and central nervous system.
Oyster meat contains a lot of glycogen, which is the energy of cell metabolism. Supplementing glycogen can improve the blood circulation function of the heart and body, enhance the function of the liver and protect the liver.
Glycogen in oysters can also be directly absorbed and utilized by the body, thus reducing the burden on the pancreas, so it is very beneficial to diabetes.
