Astragalus qi is the first.
On the good medicine of invigorating qi, Astragalus is the first. People with insufficient middle qi are weak, sweating when they move, with low vital capacity and even drooping internal organs. It is most suitable to use Astragalus for tonic. Astragalus membranaceus, also known as small ginseng, has similar qi-invigorating function to ginseng. But ginseng is a great tonic, and it takes effect quickly, which is not easy for ordinary people to use. However, Astragalus membranaceus is relatively mild in invigorating qi, but its effect is not inferior, and its surface-consolidating effect is stronger than ginseng, so it has become the most commonly used drug for invigorating qi. ?
Traditional Chinese medicine says that Astragalus membranaceus is warm and sweet and enters the spleen and lung meridians, so it has the strongest effect on improving the qi of spleen and lung. Strengthening the qi of spleen and lung is to enhance the transport function of human body. Therefore, Astragalus can strengthen triple energizer, tonify five internal organs, strengthen spleen and promote diuresis, raise lung qi, strengthen heart, tonify kidney qi and tonify liver deficiency. ?
Astragalus can dilate blood vessels and lower blood pressure. Eating Astragalus membranaceus in the elderly can prevent and treat stroke and hypertension. Young people eat astragalus, which can enhance their resistance and prevent colds. ?
Astragalus membranaceus also has diuretic, repercussive and granulation promoting effects. It is not only suitable for patients with nephritis and edema to do diet therapy, but also has the effect of losing weight for people with puffiness.
For people with skin sores or ulcers, eating astragalus can drain pus and promote wound healing.
Zhang, a famous doctor in Jin Dynasty, summed up the efficacy of Astragalus best. He said that Astragalus membranaceus is warm and pure yang, which has five purposes: first, it can tonify deficiency; Benefiting vitality, two also; Spleen and stomach, three also; Eliminating muscle heat, four also; Expelling pus and relieving pain, promoting blood circulation and generating blood, and supporting yin gangrene are the holy medicines for sores.

Drink astragalus porridge in dog days.
To eat Astragalus membranaceus, a light diet should be used. The easiest way is to drink astragalus porridge.
Astragalus porridge has existed since ancient times. In Su Shi's poems, he mentioned that he drank Huangqi porridge when he recovered from a serious illness. He was thirty-nine years old and lived in Michigan. At that time, "I failed to live up to the famous flowers for one year before smoking was banned", so I used "Huangqi porridge to recommend spring vegetables". This is to nourish the weak body after illness with astragalus porridge.
Bai Juyi also wrote a poem "Zhai Ju": "The fragrance is more relative. I haven't tasted a few spoonfuls of yellow peony porridge for a long time, and the red arrow is soup." In the poem, Astragalus membranaceus is Astragalus membranaceus, while the red arrow refers to Gastrodia elata. Astragalus membranaceus and gastrodia elata are pure medicinal materials in the eyes of modern people, but they can be included in daily recipes in the eyes of ancient people. From Bai Juyi to Su Shi, from Tang Dynasty to Song Dynasty, this kind of astragalus porridge is indispensable on the table of literati. They drink it after illness and when they are vegetarian. There was no distinction between Confucianism and medicine in ancient times, and people like Lotte and Dongpo must also know the homology of medicine and food.
When making astragalus porridge, you should pay attention to the fact that astragalus itself is not edible. Astragalus membranaceus should be boiled into medicinal juice by the method of "three frying and three boiling" in traditional Chinese medicine. Use this medicine juice to cook porridge with rice. Specific practices are as follows:
Step 1: Take about 30 grams of Astragalus membranaceus, soak it in 10 times of water for half an hour, add water to boil it, cook it for 30 minutes on medium fire, and pour out the medicine juice for later use.
Step 2, add the same amount of water to boil, then boil for 15 minutes, and then pour out the medicine juice. ?
Step three, repeat step two. ?
Step four, take out the boiled astragalus dregs and throw them away. Put the three decoctions together, add about100g of rice, and cook into porridge.
Astragalus porridge has a strong qi-lifting effect and is most suitable for drinking in the morning. After drinking it, you will be full of energy all day.
In this porridge recipe, the amount of astragalus is not much, and it is very peaceful with rice, which belongs to flat supplement. Most people can eat a little in summer and rainy season. Friends with qi deficiency and weak constitution will insist on drinking astragalus porridge every day in dog days, which can improve qi and blood and enhance immunity, so that they are not easy to get sick in autumn and winter.
Summer heat and dampness hurt qi in dog days, and astragalus was used to correct it at that time. It's too hot in the dog days, which often makes people feel lazy and don't want to talk or move more. Some people are overweight, dizzy, sweaty and have fever in their hands and feet. There are leg swelling, constipation and so on. These symptoms require astragalus membranaceus.
Note: Astragalus porridge is a tonic, and empirical evidence is not suitable. Middle-aged and elderly people with physical weakness, middle-aged qi deficiency, initial recovery from serious illness, after surgery and radiotherapy and chemotherapy can eat more. Those with yin deficiency and hyperactivity of yang and those with exogenous evil should not take it. For example, if you have a cold and feel cold today, it means that you have exterior evil, so don't drink astragalus porridge these two days.
Chinese medicine believes that man and nature are a harmonious and unified whole. In the process of disease treatment, it will be more effective to balance the yin and yang of the human body by combining the characteristics of the four seasons. It is best to raise yang in the dog days in spring and summer, which is the peak period. People with yang deficiency can get help from heaven. At this time, applying Chinese ointment in dog days can dredge channels and collaterals, regulate qi and blood, broaden chest and lower qi, strengthen spleen and stomach, strengthen yang, regulate lung and spleen function of human body, and continuously enhance immune function of the body, so as to achieve the functions of strengthening yang and promoting blood circulation, eliminating cold pathogens and improving defense function.
