1, dispel cold, warm the body and improve cold hands and feet.
The feeling that winter gives people is one word-cold, especially some girls often have cold hands and feet, and with less clothes, their bodies always feel cold. Most green leafy vegetables are cool, but fennel is warm. Chinese medicine believes that fennel has the function of warming yang and dispelling cold, and it is a rare warm vegetable among green vegetables, especially suitable for people with local cold symptoms, such as stomach cold, cold pain in the lower abdomen, cold hands and feet, etc. Fennel, like kidney meridian, can directly warm the yang of kidney meridian and is suitable for eating in cold winter.
Of course, in addition to fennel, warm vegetables in winter also include coriander, leeks and green onions. They all have the same thing, that is, some strong smells. If people can't stand these unique smells, they won't be blessed.
2. Warming Yang and Tonifying Kidney
Fennel, which we often see in barbecues in China, is actually fennel seeds. Fennel vegetables here refer to the stems and leaves of fennel. Although fennel seeds have more warming effect than fennel stems and leaves, fennel stems and leaves will be more convenient to eat. Both the stems and leaves of fennel and the seeds of fennel have the function of warming yang and tonifying kidney. If you can't buy fennel vegetables in the market, you can buy some fennel seeds and add them properly in cook the meat or stew, which will help warm the yang and tonify the kidney this winter.
3, warm the stomach and nourish the stomach
Bad stomach is a common problem in contemporary society. Many people gradually develop stomach problems in irregular eating habits and unhealthy eating styles. Fennel is a little expert in nourishing the stomach. Chinese medicine believes that fennel, such as stomach meridian, can warm the stomach, stimulate appetite and nourish the stomach, and help to recuperate various stomach cold and stomach diseases.
If you have patients with frequent stomach cold and stomachache, you can eat fennel to warm your stomach and relieve pain. People with loss of appetite can also eat fennel to stimulate appetite, improve food and help digestion. Some people are prone to stomach cold, stomachache and discomfort in winter, so fennel can be added to porridge or soup. Even people who are prone to depression and depression can eat fennel to help regulate their mood and relieve depression.
When cooking fennel, it can be cold, stir-fried or clear soup. Of course, if you can't buy fresh fennel vegetables in the market, you can also buy fennel to cook. Fennel is certainly good, but people with hot body and stomach should eat less.
