Today's text, and everyone to say a very common Chinese medicine: hawthorn.
Hawthorn temperature, can be used medicinally and food dually, it tastes sour, warm, mainly into the spleen and stomach meridian and liver meridian, the main effect is to eliminate the accumulation of food, gas dispersion.
It is a unique Chinese medicinal fruit combined tree species, with blood lipids, blood pressure, strengthening heart, anti-arrhythmia and other effects, but also a good medicine for spleen appetizer, digestion stagnation, blood sputum activation, chest and spleen fullness, hernia, blood stasis, amenorrhea and other diseases have a good effect.
Among them, the flavonoid vitex in hawthorn is a drug with strong anti-cancer effect, and its extract has a certain effect on inhibiting the growth, proliferation and invasion and metastasis of cancer cells in vivo.
In winter, people are familiar with hawthorns.
Especially in the north, there are many gourds selling rock sugar. I would like to say that the ancients invented the sugar gourd, which is a food, which is really too clever. Its health value is by no means comparable to that of ordinary foods.
In my eyes, hawthorn is a red lady. She is warm-hearted, kind, helpful, and at the same time so low-key.
In fact, hawthorn is originally a kind of chinese medicine for digestion.
In the Chinese medicine diet medicine, hawthorn is the first. It is good at eliminating all food stagnation, but it is best at meat.
Why do I say that sugar gourds in winter have high health value?
Because northerners eat less vegetables in winter, they eat more meat. At this time, eating some hawthorn can help people digest meat.
Although hawthorn is a dietary drug, pharmacological research has developed to this day, and more and more attention is paid to its impact on our blood environment, and even some Chinese medicine monographs have begun to summarize him as a blood-activating and stasis medicine.
Studies believe that hawthorn extract has a clear cardiac strengthening, blood pressure reduction, increase coronary flow, dilate blood vessels and anti-arrhythmias, etc., the main components are hawthorn total flavonoids and triterpenoids.
Why do I say that it is the big red lady in the world of Chinese medicine? Red Lady's mission is to communicate for others. The influence of hawthorn on blood also lies in a "tong" word. It allows blood to flow more smoothly.
So, in addition to eating some rock sugar gourd, what more appropriate way for us ordinary people to apply hawthorn?
I have chosen to give you these methods.
