Today, I will briefly share with my friends the efficacy and eating taboos of Gardenia.
The efficacy and function of Gardenia Gardenia Gardenia is bitter in taste, cold in nature and bitter in nature, which can clear away heat best, so Gardenia Gardenia has high medicinal value in clearing away heat and toxic materials.
Li Shizhen also said in Compendium of Materia Medica that gardenia can "purge pathogenic fire of triple energizer, clear stomach cavity, relieve depression and heat, and promote qi circulation to relieve depression". It can be seen that Gardenia has a wide range of heat-clearing and detoxification, and it has a good effect on removing heat toxicity and evil fire in vivo, middle and lower jiao.
1, Gardenia can remove damp heat.
Gardenia is bitter, heavy and cold can clear away heat. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that its efficacy can best reduce fire and make damp-heat fire evil come out of stool.
For example, damp-heat jaundice, dysuria, astringent pain and other symptoms caused by damp-heat accumulation in the lower jiao can be alleviated by taking Gardenia as medicine.
2. Gardenia can clear the heat of internal organs.
Gardenia can purge the fire of triple energizer, so it can also purge the depressed heat of the upper and lower viscera.
For example, when our hearts are full of fire, we often have symptoms such as anxiety and insomnia. When stomach fire is strong, symptoms such as dry mouth, bad breath and aphtha often appear; When the liver fire is strong, it will be accompanied by emotional disorders, chest tightness and other symptoms. ...
In this case, Gardenia has a certain alleviating effect. But more often, it is used together with other medicinal materials, which can play a better role.
3. Gardenia can eliminate sores and carbuncles.
When there is fire evil in our body and the heat toxin is flourishing, it is most likely to produce some nameless sores and swelling on the skin surface. Gardenia jasminoides Ellis also has a good effect on eliminating this heat toxic sore.
In addition, generally speaking, gardenia alone can effectively treat mild heat sores and carbuncle; In severe cases, forsythia, dandelion and honeysuckle can also be used.
Gardenia jasminoides Ellis is a bitter and cold Chinese herbal medicine. Although this Chinese herbal medicine has a good effect of clearing away heat and purging fire, it is also harmful to people. Therefore, the dosage of gardenia should not be too large, generally within 10g. If it is used for daily health care, it is enough within 5g each time.
Especially those who have no toxic heat or pathogenic fire in their bodies, plus weak constitution and weak spleen and stomach function, should try to avoid eating gardenia in their lives.
