In winter, Yang Qi is hidden, many people have dry skin, dry eyes, dry lips, dry stools, upset, and poor sleep.
"The Yellow Emperor's Neijing" says that spring and summer nourish yang, autumn and winter nourish yin, which is here. In winter, it is necessary to nourish the yin and nourish the blood, eat more of this "nourishing thing", so that the body is full of blood, so that the body is moisturized, so that there is no irritability, fire, very energetic during the day, and sleep soundly at night.
This nourishing thing, especially for the liver and kidneys, is very suitable for winter
Wang Mengying of the Qing Dynasty said mulberry in the "Diet Recipe for Living with Rest":
"Nourish the liver and kidneys, congest blood, quench thirst, improve joints, detoxify alcohol, dispel rheumatism, deaf ears and eyes, and calm the soul." It can be eaten raw and mixed with a slight salt, and can be drunk juice, or boiled into a paste, or burst dry as the end. Set up a bad year, you can fill the food. After serving it for a long time, the hair is not white. The one who is ripe before the small full, the color is black and the taste is pure and sweet. ”
Mulberry can nourish the liver and kidneys, nourish blood and invigorate qi. It can be used when you are thirsty, your joints are not refreshing, and you have drunk too much wine, and it can rejuvenate and detoxify and dispel rheumatism. Let the ears hear well, the eyes and vision well, and the soul is stable.
Nutrition also says that mulberries are high in anthocyanins, which are good for the eyes and can also make people sleep peacefully. When eaten raw, you can put a little salt, or squeeze juice to drink, or boil into mulberry paste, or dry and grind into powder.
When the harvest is bad, it can be used as food. If you take it for a long time, your hair and beard will not turn gray. The mulberries that are ripe in the small full solar term, black in color, and sweet in taste are relatively good.
When is the right time to eat?
- When your eyes are dry, you look at your phone and computer a lot
- When you've stayed up late, or you're staying up late
- When your mouth is dry, drinking water does not quench your thirst
- When you don't sleep well, upset and have trouble falling asleep
- When you always have dry stools
- When you often have dry nasal passages, bleeding, dry and itchy throat
- When you have gray hair early
- When your beard turns white......
These all indicate that your liver and blood are insufficient, and you need to nourish the yin of the liver and kidneys, and it will be good to use mulberries more often, which can replenish the liver and blood, so that the kidney water is abundant, and the whole body is moisturized.
Use good mulberries, skillfully match, and make up for the blood!
If you also use mulberries frequently, please leave a message to share your common methods.
1. Mulberry + black plum + hawthorn + rock sugar
Bad breath, poor digestion, dry eyes, and irritation after staying up late are all suitable for drinking. This combination is super delicious, the four ingredients are boiled for 20 minutes, sweet and sour, refreshing, and fruity. If it's not that serious, just put it less and moisten it in winter.
It is sweet and acidic and dissolves yin, fills the mouth, nourishes yin and nourishes the kidneys, invigorates blood and dispels stasis, and greatly moistens dryness. Add more mulberries and black plums to the fire, put more hawthorn in the appetite, rock sugar as a supplementary seasoning, put more mulberries, and sometimes you don't need to add rock sugar.
The color and taste of the boiled are good.
2. Mulberry + lotus root powder
"Compendium Collection" talks about lotus root powder: "Great power and camp health." Lose weight and prolong life, and do not know its function is more specialized in blood and hemostasis. All diseases are not contraindicated and can be taken in. Adjust the appetizer, nourish the marrow and benefit the blood, ventilate, clear the surface heat, eat often to calm the nerves and generate wisdom, relieve heat and rejuvenate the body, eliminate food and stop diarrhea. “
People who usually have a dry body and a weak spleen and stomach can use mulberry dry boiled water to eat lotus root powder later, which is more moisturizing. Especially for people who have no appetite after staying up late, or who have dry stools for a long time, such a bowl every day can nourish qi and blood and nourish the liver and kidneys, and it is difficult for the body to feel dry all day long.
After brewing, you can sprinkle some osmanthus flowers, which is more fragrant. If the body is particularly dry, put less lotus root powder and rinse it thinner, so that the starch will retain water molecules after gelatinization and make the body more moisturized.
3. Mulberry + lily
Usually dry skin, stool, very irritable, tangled, want to get angry and dare not start, when the sleep is unstable, you can cook these two together.
Wang Mengying's "Diet Recipe for Living with Rest" said lily: "Gan Ping." Moisturize the lungs and stomach, clear the heart and calm the mind, and clear the skin and milk. Dispel wind and cleanse heat, dissolve dampness and carbuncles, treat acute yellow, stop deficiency and cough, kill Gu poison, and cure sorrow. ”
Lily is entered into the heart and lung meridians, which can moisten the lungs, moisten the hair, moisten the skin, calm the nerves and help sleep. Lilies also have a certain nourishing effect on the stomach. Especially for people with insufficient stomach yin, stomach ulcers, and old stomach problems, you can also eat some lilies to try.
If you always eat spicy, hot pot, thick flavor, there are a lot of flavors in your mouth, and you can't pass the stool, so it's just right to boil water with lilies and mulberries. Lily is particularly moisturizing the lungs, nourishing the heart, mulberry and nourishing the blood, drinking can be peaceful, and it is easy to fall asleep.
Heart-lung nourishment, moisturizing, sweet
Some people have a high fever, the whole body is relatively dry, the cough is the kind of dry cough, the face is very hot, the mouth is uncomfortable, sweating a lot, the fluid consumption is large, upset, sleep is not good, drinking this water is also very good, replenish the fluid consumed by the body, and moisten the body and mind.
4. When stewing pears, white fungus and other sugar water + mulberries
Usually when you make sweet soup, you can add some mulberries, lilies, lotus seeds, white fungus, jujubes, tangerine peel, figs, pears, mulberries, peach gum, not mulberries as the protagonist, but add a little more, it will moisten a lot!
If you have a big loss of liver blood fluid, take a month to adjust your physique
If you don't have the above situation occasionally, but you have it for a long time, you have a big loss of liver blood and fluid, you age faster than others, and your menstrual flow is getting less and less, so you have to take care of it.
The liver blood is insufficient, and it cannot be nourished on the head and face, so people tend to look haggard and their hair is whiter than others.
The liver is open to the eyes, the liver blood is insufficient, and the eyes are not nourished, and people are prone to dry eyes and blurred vision. People are old and old, and they are especially prone to red blood, and there is also the possibility of "old people are yellow", and the color of the eyes is not clear.
The liver is tendons in the body, and the claw nails are tendons, and the tendons are not nourished, and the limbs are easily numb, the body is stiff, and the nails are not shiny.
If you usually think a lot of things, have a lot of pressure, and always stay up late, and your liver qi is uncomfortable, it is easier to over-consume yin essence and blood psychologically and physically, resulting in insufficient liver blood.
People with insufficient liver blood are more likely to be irritable, which makes the liver qi uncomfortable and the liver qi stagnant. Then it is easy to make people depressed and turn into fire, irritable and angry, not easy to fall asleep, and the liver blood is even more insufficient...... In this way, the reciprocating mood and physiology are consumed, and people age quickly, sleep poorly, and are also very irritable.
