Raw hawthorn has the function of removing blood stasis and promoting digestion, but it is too medicinal for children. Generally, Chinese medicine uses fried hawthorn to promote digestion, and the effect will be better.
Chinese medicine believes that fried things have the function of digestion, such as frying malt. In fact, burnt hawthorn and fried hawthorn are the same. It has the medicinal properties of hawthorn, but it is not so violent and is more suitable for children. Please remember, don't eat directly, the effect of boiling water with burnt hawthorn is more peaceful.
Just buy burnt hawthorn in the drugstore, don't do it yourself, the burnt hawthorn fried by yourself will not be so evenly heated, and the burnt hawthorn sold in the drugstore will be very evenly.
Roasted hawthorn is mainly used to eliminate meat. If the child just eats too much meat, which leads to food accumulation, for example, if the child eats two chicken legs, his tongue coating becomes thick, his mouth smells bad, his stomach is bloated and he doesn't want to eat, then you can help him eliminate food accumulation with burnt hawthorn. Generally, eating for two or three days can eliminate the symptoms of food accumulation, so don't eat any more.
Parents should pay special attention not to burn hawthorn for their children every time they eat meat, not to rely on drugs to help digestion, but to believe in their body's transportation ability.
Most parents think that good things should be given to their children every day. I am most afraid of this!
If a child is often given an external force to regulate his spleen and stomach, his own function will gradually deteriorate. Hawthorn is burned to help children tide over the difficulties, not to help children digest every day. When the child's spleen and stomach are blocked, it can be used to help, but it must be adjusted by the child's own body.
white radish
After children accumulate food, they can drink radish soup in addition to the water boiled by burning hawthorn. Radish is an ideal digestive food. Many children don't like to eat radishes. They can cut radishes into shreds and slices and mix them with various foods, such as oysters, crucian carp, jellyfish and beef.
After radish is made into soup, it has a very good digestive effect, even for sore throat caused by eating too much meat.
For example, once I confirmed that a child had a sore throat due to a fever caused by eating meat, I asked my parents to slice carrots and boil water, and give them to the children one by one. The cooked radish slices are very soft. After the children eat them, the meat is gone and the sore throat is relieved. Different from burning hawthorn, radish soup can also be used as a delicious dish to replenish the spleen in the regular diet unless the child eats too much meat.
Eating radish has a particularly good effect on relieving upper-burning fever, but be careful not to eat it with drugs containing ginseng, because radish will relieve the medicinal properties of ginseng.
