Mai Dong is known as "long-term clothing and light body, not old and not hungry". It is often used in combination with different Chinese medicines to treat various ailments, but most of them have one thing in common, that is, to nourish yin and moisten dryness.
Have you noticed that many patients with mycoplasma pneumonia are prone to dryness, dry cough, dry nose, dry skin, dry stool, dry mouth and throat after recovery. In fact, it is caused by the deficiency of lung yin. The lungs open for the nose, the skin in the body, and the larynx for the portal. Therefore, this series of dryness is telling us that there is a lack of fluid in the body. The liquid of Jin also belongs to the category of "yin", so the loss of the fluid of the human body is yin deficiency.
So this kind of yin deficiency and dryness situation, today I will talk to you about three small recipes, all of which are composed of wheat winter, nourishing yin and moisturizing dryness.
The first one is Maimendong soup. From the Song Dynasty "Shengji General Record"
There are only two flavors of wheat dong and black plum. "Sour and sweet yin", which can metamorphose yin fluid to nourish yin.
It specializes in treating dry throat, unbearable thirst, non-stop drinking water, swollen stomach, and frequent diarrhea.
The second is the Maimendong soup from the medical saint Zhang Zhongjing's "Golden Kui Yaolu".
It is composed of Maimendong, Banxia, ginseng, licorice, japonica rice, and jujube. Moisten the lungs and relieve cough, nourish yin and reduce fire.
It is suitable for stomach deficiency and burning the lung yin, refining the liquid into phlegm, resulting in dry mouth and throat, and often coughing up phlegm and spitting spit.
The last one is also a famous prescription of traditional Chinese medicine.
It is composed of ginseng or codonopsis, Ophiopogon vulgaris, and Schisandra chinensis.
When your mouth is dry, upset and thirsty, drinking a bottle of Shengmai drink is like nectar for a long time, which makes people feel refreshed.
In fact, the so-called nourishing yin is because the sweetness of wheat winter can get rid of deficiency heat, especially the deficiency heat of the heart, lungs, and stomach. Naturally moisturizes our whole body.
