How to make up for the lack of male yang in winter? Siwutang has four herbs: Radix Rehmanniae Preparata, Radix Angelicae Sinensis, Rhizoma Chuanxiong and Radix Paeoniae Alba. The main function of Siwu decoction is to nourish blood. Rehmannia glutinosa nourishes the kidney meridian and has the function of consolidating the foundation; Angelica is nourishing blood and promoting blood circulation; Chuanxiong is also a medicine for promoting blood circulation, which can promote qi when entering the blood; Paeonia lactiflora can nourish blood and play a role in convergence.
Together, these four drugs can make up for the deficiency of qi and blood after operation. Doctors often use angelica. We can write some small prescriptions ourselves. For example, we can use half a catty of mutton with 10g of angelica, 10g of rehmannia glutinosa, and then cut six or seven slices of ginger to make soup. This soup has a good effect of nourishing blood and warming yang.
In winter, if we feel that our yang is insufficient and our blood is insufficient, for example, our hands and feet are cold in winter, then drinking this soup will warm us up. Why are my hands and feet cold when it's cold? Many people think that this is the deficiency of yang. In fact, the main reason is that blood doesn't circulate, and blood can't reach the ends of limbs, so our hands and feet will get cold. When people used to cook this mutton soup with angelica and ginger, they often didn't add rehmannia root, which was Zhang Zhongjing's prescription. But remember, Danggui Ginger Mutton Soup is a cure without Radix Rehmanniae Preparata. Be sure to add 10g of Radix Rehmanniae Preparata when keeping in good health, because the medicinal properties of Angelica sinensis in Min County are a little dry, so Radix Rehmanniae Preparata should be used to balance the dryness of the soup.
The medicinal properties of Angelica sinensis are a little dry. People with yin deficiency must pay attention to adding other drugs to control the medicinal properties of Angelica sinensis, otherwise users will get angry. Yin deficiency means internal heat, and the symptoms of Yin deficiency are dry mouth, dry eyes, fever, soreness of waist and knees, etc.
