Pepper also has important medicinal value. When eating is not fragrant and appetite is reduced, putting some pepper in the dish can improve appetite and increase appetite. Oral administration of a little pepper decoction alone can cure poor appetite, abdominal distension and abdominal pain caused by cold. Boiling soup with pepper and ginger can also treat cold and cold; Especially suitable for patients with dyspepsia.
Why can Chili strengthen the stomach and help digestion? It turns out that it contains an ingredient called capsaicin, which can stimulate the oral cavity and gastrointestinal tract, so it can enhance gastrointestinal peristalsis, promote the secretion of digestive juice, improve appetite, inhibit abnormal fermentation in the intestinal tract, and eliminate gas accumulated in the digestive tract. Eating some peppers properly is also good for people living in wet places, which can prevent rheumatism and frostbite.
Although pepper is rich in nutrition and has important medicinal value, excessive consumption is harmful to human health. Because too much capsaicin will violently stimulate the gastrointestinal mucosa, make it highly congested, accelerate peristalsis, cause stomach pain, abdominal pain, diarrhea and anal burning and stabbing pain, induce gastrointestinal diseases, and promote hemorrhoid bleeding. Therefore, anyone suffering from esophagitis, gastroenteritis, gastric ulcer and hemorrhoids should eat less or avoid eating Chili. Because pepper is pungent and hot, you should also be careful to eat hot diseases, such as burning eyes, toothache, sore throat, hemoptysis, furuncle, or hypertension and tuberculosis with yin deficiency and fire flourishing.
Ginseng can be divided into three types according to different growth environments: wild ginseng, transplanted ginseng and cultivated ginseng, among which wild ginseng is the rarest; Transplanted ginseng is a kind of ginseng that is collected by moving the seeds (seedlings) of wild ginseng to an environment suitable for the growth of wild ginseng and after more than ten years of natural growth. Its function is similar to that of wild ginseng, and its quantity is also small.
Ginseng can be divided into sun-dried ginseng and red ginseng according to different processing methods. Sun-dried ginseng is a variety excavated and processed after growing in artificial cultivation environment for five or six years. It is made from fresh ginseng by high temperature drying or natural drying. Red ginseng is divided into China red ginseng, Korea red ginseng and Korea red ginseng. Generally, ginseng is steamed red for a long time at low temperature and low pressure, and then made into different shapes by molding.
Ginseng can be divided into American ginseng and so-called "ginseng" mainly produced in Asian countries according to varieties. American ginseng, also known as American ginseng, American ginseng, American ginseng and so on. , native to the northern United States and Canada, China mostly relies on imports. In recent years, China's Beijing, Jiangxi, Shaanxi, Nanjing and Northeast provinces have successively introduced and cultivated and achieved success. American ginseng is generally processed in the sun. The origin of ginseng is North China, South Korea, North Korea and other countries.
Generally speaking, American ginseng is cool and is generally used for heat syndrome, such as hypertension and constipation. Ginseng is warm in nature and is suitable for cold syndrome. Among them, sun-dried ginseng is a tonic, mainly used for syndromes and symptoms of deficiency of both qi and yin, such as hyperhidrosis with fatigue, gastrointestinal weakness, loss of appetite, cardiac insufficiency, thirst and so on. If people with fever use warm sun-dried ginseng, it can strengthen the excitement of the body and worsen inflammation. Red ginseng is a medicine for warming and tonifying, with strong smell, slightly bitter and slightly sweet, and its function tends to warm and tonify. It is mainly used for diseases with qi deficiency and cold symptoms, such as cardiovascular diseases and recovery after serious illness. Red ginseng should not be used for excess heat syndrome.
Ginseng should not be abused: when it comes to ginseng, the first thing people think of is to prolong life and live forever. In fact, blindly taking ginseng can not only achieve the effect of health care treatment, but also produce side effects such as nosebleeds, systemic allergies and even shock. He said that American ginseng and ginseng are tonics, and there is no essential difference in chemical composition. Both of them have many physiological activities, such as strengthening the body, resisting fatigue, lowering blood sugar, calming the nerves and enhancing immunity. But pay attention to the differences in application. American ginseng should be used for patients with fever, and sun-dried ginseng or red ginseng should be used for patients with cold syndrome. But in general, it is difficult for patients to distinguish between cold and heat, so it is best to use it under the guidance of experienced Chinese medicine, and never abuse it. In addition, there are many counterfeit products of American ginseng, sun-dried ginseng and red ginseng on the market at present. If you buy American ginseng, dried ginseng and red ginseng, you'd better go to reputable hospitals and pharmacies to buy them.
Ginseng is a nourishing and strong medicine, which should only make up the deficiency, so healthy and disease-free children must not abuse it. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the physiological characteristics of children are: "delicate viscera, insufficient qi, insufficient yin and excessive yang." Generally speaking, the differentiation and development of babies are not perfect, especially newborns who have just left their mothers for a long time. The function of each system in the whole body is not perfect, but the metabolism is extremely vigorous. A large number of metabolites must be excreted from urine. If you take Shentang, it will interfere with the normal activities of other organs, especially the endocrine system, and the increase of metabolism and the decrease of urine volume will occur at the same time, and many wastes in the body cannot be discharged. In addition, the heart and viscera of children will be damaged by the stimulation of cardiac glycosides in ginseng. Therefore, there is a saying in Chinese medicine that "few people refuse to accept ginseng", and the body with strong pure yang has strong immunity, so there is no need to take ginseng tonic. Otherwise, it will be harmful, not beneficial.
Eat correctly. China's edible ginseng has a long history, and its magical effects are highly respected. According to historical records, ginseng has the effects of "nourishing five internal organs, calming the spirit, calming the mind, stopping fright, improving eyesight, being happy and improving intelligence".

(5) soaking wine. Sliced whole ginseng can be put into bottles, soaked in 50-60% Chinese liquor, and taken daily according to the situation.
(6) stew. Ginseng is often accompanied by a certain bitterness when eaten. If ginseng is cooked with lean meat, chicken and fish, it can eliminate bitterness and nourish the body.
