Although it is said that "the winter solstice is born on the yang", which means that from the beginning of the winter solstice, the yang qi gradually begins to have vitality, and the weather is getting longer and longer every day, but many people know that from the winter solstice, the coldest time of the year has arrived, especially the "three nine four nine ice walk", which will be the most frozen time node of the year, so why is the yang qi one or two months after the birth, the weather is cold and bitter? This may be the natural law of "things must be reversed".
On cold winter days, if the warmth measures are not in place, it is very likely to make the body frostbite. Therefore, throughout the ages, winter supplements are the consensus of health care people. As the saying goes, medicine is not as good as food supplements, especially the Tang Dynasty Medicine King attaches great importance to food supplements, however, as early as 1,800 years ago, the medical saint Zhang Zhongjing has invented a good recipe for eating and medicine in winter, eating in the cold winter, not only can play a role in warming the cold, but also play a role in making up for deficiency and relieving pain. This prescription is extremely simple, the medicine is only three flavors, if it can be used properly, it can make you full of warmth throughout the winter.
So, what is this wonderful recipe? It is the angelica ginger mutton soup, which is known as the first soup for winter health. When it comes to lamb, it is estimated that many people know that this is a warm-up delicacy in winter. And 1,800 years ago, the doctor Zhang Zhongjing used mutton to make soup, adding some angelica and ginger to it, which could play a wonderful role in health and disease. And ginger is also a good product for publishing cold, which can be used in both winter and summer, and is a must-have for all seasons and a good thing for food and medicine. Coupled with angelica tonifying blood, moisturizing and relieving pain, the combination of three flavors can be described as wonderful.
According to the medical saint Zhang Zhongjing, the preparation method of angelica ginger mutton soup is as follows: take angelica three two, ginger five two, lamb one pound, the three flavors of water eight liters, boil three liters, warm seven, three times a day. This formula has the effect of warming the deficiency, dispelling the cold and relieving pain, and is mainly used for the abdominal pain of cold hernia and the disease of tenesmus of flank pain; it can also be used for postpartum abdominal pain, fatigue and other diseases. However, this is a clinical prescription drug application, if it is a food supplement, it may need to be slightly adjusted in the production.
If it is used for consumption, the preparation method is still different from that of Chinese medicine decoction. Generally speaking, the amount of lamb can still be used to one pound, while angelica only needs half a two, and ginger can be used to one or two. To make, the lamb is cut into small pieces, washed, marinated with minced ginger, rice wine and minced garlic, then blanched and drained.
Angelica needs to be brewed in rice wine before use, and ginger is washed and sliced before use. Put the blanched lamb in a pot, add water to a boil, put angelica and ginger in it, until the lamb is cooked, remove the ginger and angelica and eat.

The whole party uses angelica to replenish blood to adjust menstruation, activate blood and relieve pain, which is a blood medicine, but also a holy medicine for blood replenishment; and lamb is a good product for replenishing qi and deficiency, warm in temperature, and is the leader in meat food; and ginger is a good product for dispelling cold in temperature.
