Many people will add medlar and ginger slices when making Huangqi pigeon soup. The compatibility of Astragalus membranaceus and Lycium barbarum ginger tablets can play a tonic role. My pharmacology textbook says that dosage must be considered when using traditional Chinese medicine. Insufficient dosage will make the effect worse, but too much dosage will be counterproductive.
The dosage of Astragalus membranaceus is generally 10 ~ 15g, and the best dosage of Astragalus membranaceus is 9g when making Huangqi pigeon soup. Raw astragalus has a good effect of invigorating qi, and baked astragalus can invigorate qi and produce blood. Astragalus can also excite the nervous system and dilate peripheral blood vessels, thus lowering blood pressure. The most important thing is to increase the content of white blood cells, promote the proliferation and differentiation of white blood cells, and effectively resist the toxic and side effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Huangqi pigeon soup is not only suitable for patients who are weak and ill, but also suitable for surgical patients. Chinese medicine believes that Astragalus can also treat memory loss and dizziness. There are many other amino acids in pigeon protein, such as arginine, which can be well absorbed by human body, so that patients' wounds can heal quickly and recover their physical strength. Huangqi pigeon soup can also regulate spleen and stomach function, reduce gastric acid secretion, and can be eaten by pregnant women. At the same time, Astragalus membranaceus can also relieve symptoms such as amenorrhea, which is a good tonic for women.
When handling pigeons, you should pay attention to washing them several times to completely remove bloodshot, otherwise the stew will be very heavy, mixed with the flavor of astragalus and ginger slices, which is not easy to be accepted by patients.
