In fact, there are only two secrets of Duan Lao's health preservation. One is to eat steamed eggs every day, and the other is to massage every day. But the cooking and massage methods of eggs are a bit tricky!
A bowl of steamed eggs
Keep qi and blood flowing smoothly.
As we all know, eggs are good things. They are nutritious, cheap and have no taboos. If eaten properly, it can also be used to help treat diseases.
The most important thing Duan Lao eats is to replenish qi and blood! Among the many elements that maintain the body, why should we give priority to nourishing qi and blood?
To prevent and treat diseases, a person must first make his blood run normally. On weekdays, Duan Lao will match American ginseng, medlar and eggs to replenish qi and blood, and his mental state is excellent.
Steamed eggs with medlar
Raw materials: American ginseng 5- 10g, ground into powder; Two eggs, stir well; 5 grams of medlar;
Practice: Mix three kinds of edible herbs together, steam cooked food every morning, or drink five jujubes with water.
American ginseng: it is cool and sweet, benefiting lung and yin, clearing deficiency fire, promoting fluid production and quenching thirst. The biggest advantage is that it can replenish qi and nourish yin, moisten and nourish the five internal organs, and there is absolutely no disadvantage of being warm and dry and getting angry, so it is called "ginseng without fire"
Lycium barbarum: sweet and flat. Has the effects of nourishing liver and kidney, benefiting eyesight, and treating liver and kidney deficiency, yang deficiency, nocturnal emission, oligospermia, blood deficiency, dizziness, dry eyes and thirst.
Eggs: sweet, flat, can nourish the spleen and stomach, nourish blood and nourish yin, and moisten dryness. It is used for various symptoms caused by deficiency of qi and blood, and is a common food to help healthy qi.
With the gradual decline of qi and blood, liver and kidney will basically lose their vitality. Eating Lycium barbarum and American ginseng eggs every morning can nourish liver and kidney. If you persist for a long time, your vitality will naturally recover. If your liver and eyes are good, your kidneys and hair will be black. It is not surprising to get rid of presbyopia and grow black hair again.
Two classic prescriptions
Treat most diseases.
A decoction for eliminating dampness and diseases.
When the temperature is high in summer, people tend to be muggy and humid. According to Duan, most male patients get sick because of poor spleen and stomach function and heavy moisture. Traditional Chinese medicine calls it dampness-blocking syndrome, which is mainly manifested as soreness and weakness, dizziness, chest tightness and bloating, loose stool, thick and greasy lips, dry mouth, bitter taste and bad breath.
For anti-dampness, Duan Lao recommended an empirical prescription, Chu Shi Decoction.

Tonifying kidney and prolonging life.
Clinically, Duan Lao attaches great importance to regulating the spleen and stomach and cultivating the qi-transforming function of the kidney. He believes that the spleen and stomach are acquired and the kidney is innate. Both diseases of the spleen and stomach itself and diseases of other viscera affecting the spleen and stomach are very common, and chronic diseases are mostly attributed to the kidney. Therefore, grasping the "two books" has important clinical significance.
