Hawthorn is a kind of fruit that many people like to eat. It tastes sweet and sour, and it can also help people stimulate their appetite and digestion. This is a very healthy food. For example, when we eat too much in our daily life or have indigestion in our spleen and stomach, we can eat some hawthorn properly to stimulate our appetite and help digestion.

In fact, hawthorn has many other benefits to people's health besides its good appetizing and digestion promoting effects. For example, in "Rihuazi Materia Medica", it is said that hawthorn can "promote digestion, dissipate accumulation, promote qi and dissipate stagnation, strengthen stomach diaphragm, promote blood circulation and reduce swelling"; It is also recorded in Compendium of Materia Medica that hawthorn can help people to "digest food, eliminate phlegm and drink, and dissipate blood stasis".

It can be seen that hawthorn not only has the effect of appetizing and digestion, but also has the effect of promoting qi and removing blood stasis. Today, I will briefly introduce several other functions of hawthorn with my friends.

Hawthorn has a good effect on many diseases caused by blood stasis, such as amenorrhea and dysmenorrhea, which are common in some women. Boiling water with hawthorn can be improved to some extent.

In addition, eating hawthorn in daily life can not only play a preventive role, but also achieve a certain degree of relief.

2. Hawthorn can remove turbidity and reduce blood fat.

Hawthorn is good at dissolving the greasy accumulated in the diet, dredging the stomach, and playing the role of removing turbidity and lowering blood fat. Moreover, modern medical research has found that the effective chemical components in hawthorn can play a certain role in lowering cholesterol, blood lipid, blood pressure and dilating blood vessels, which shows that hawthorn is still of great application value in health preservation.

Hawthorn can stop diarrhea and dysentery

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that sour taste has astringent effect, while hawthorn can be said to be extremely sour. In ancient times, some doctors often added some hawthorn and brown sugar to boiling water when dealing with diarrhea, which had a good relief effect on common abdominal pain and diarrhea caused by food accumulation.

In addition, for common dysentery, soaking in water with hawthorn and honey is also effective. Or stir-fry hawthorn into hawthorn charcoal, and the effect of stopping diarrhea and dysentery is better.
