Ginger is a common condiment in the family kitchen, and can also be integrated into various delicacies, such as ginger and scallion chicken, stewed duck with ginger, pig's feet ginger, vinegar ginger, lemon ginger tea and so on. Not only that, ginger is also a traditional Chinese medicine, and it has a very high status in the Chinese medicine industry. Zhang Zhongjing's "Treatise on Typhoid Fever" has a total of 112 recipes, and there are as many as 37 recipes that use ginger.
In this way, eating some ginger on weekdays is indeed very beneficial. So, what are the specific benefits? Today, let's talk about it.
Eat ginger in winter to dispel wind and cold, and prevent vomiting!
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that ginger is pungent, slightly warm, returns to the lungs and spleen meridians, can sweat and relieve the surface, warm and stop vomiting, warm the lungs and relieve cough. If you have a cough caused by external wind and cold, or if you eat a little cold food and cough when you sleep, you may wish to add some ginger to the dish. In this way, ginger can not only neutralize the coldness of food, but also its pungent and warm taste, which has the characteristics of "walking but not keeping", and is also suitable for external wind and cold. In real life, if you accidentally get cold, have symptoms such as sneezing and cold intolerance, drink a bowl of hot ginger soup to get rid of the evil of wind and cold, which is the same reason.
In addition, ginger is also known as the "holy medicine of vomiting", which is suitable for a variety of vomiting syndromes. If you have symptoms such as nausea and vomiting, you can add ginger to the dish or season it with ginger juice, so that you can enjoy the meal and relieve the symptoms. We have listed the general way to eat ginger at the beginning of the article, and I think you have also counted it. Today I recommend a different "perfect match" method, which is simple to operate, and also specializes in treating deficiency and cold, and it is perfect to drink in winter.
Ginger is a perfect match with it, specializing in treating deficiency and cold!
The perfect match for ginger is red dates.
Let's go on to look down – Chinese medicine believes that "Yang is a solid guard for the outside", which means that Yang Qi is like a layer of armor covering the surface of the human body, protecting the human body from the invasion of cold and evil spirits. When the temperature drops in winter, the body sends more yang energy from the inside of the body to fill the body surface to resist the cold outside. Once the body's yang energy storage is insufficient, there is no spare energy to "support" the body surface, so that as long as the temperature is slightly lowered, people will be easy to be too cold to stand it, and the slightest carelessness will also be exploited by the cold evil, resulting in frequent episodes of wind and cold. Therefore, when we recuperate our bodies, we can start with the spleen and stomach. This is because the yang energy on the surface of the body originates from the internal organs, especially the spleen and stomach.
And the warm ginger jujube tea can replenish the yang qi of the spleen and stomach in time. When the spleen and stomach are full of yang energy, people will naturally be warm and comfortable. Among them, ginger has a spicy and hot taste, which can warm the stomach and dispel cold, and a little red date that nourishes the spleen and stomach can not only alleviate the heat of ginger, but also make its effect soft and long-lasting. In a word, it is summarized that ginger jujube is accompanied by a treatment of deficiency and cold. The spice of ginger and the sweetness of jujube are combined to reconcile the camp and guard, which is helpful for people who are afraid of wind and cold, cold hands and feet, easy to catch colds, abdominal pain during menstruation, stomach pain, and blood deficiency and body cold.
Health recommendation: Ginger jujube tea method: 5~10 grams of ginger slices (about 4~5 slices), 2~3 red dates, break open and remove the pit, add 300 ml of water to the pot, boil for about 10 minutes after boiling, and drink while hot. People who are not used to the spicy taste of ginger can put less ginger, and can also add red dates or brown sugar to taste. Note: If you have a stomach ulcer or bleeding disorder, you should not drink it.
Ginger jujube tea should use ginger, not dried ginger!
Authentic ginger jujube tea should be made with ginger. If you want to have a strong ability to clear the cold and block, and do not get angry, it is especially better to use medicinal ginger. Huaijiang can warm to the middle and bottom of the coke, more effectively clean up the "inner cold".
However, many "ginger jujube teas" on the market will use dried ginger instead of ginger, which loses its most valuable "divergent" function. This is because dried ginger is more inclined to keep the middle coke, and the nature is hot, can not be like ginger to dissolve the stickiness of jujube, especially after drinking people with heavy cold in the body and weak physique, it is easier to get angry, and it is difficult to dispel the cold in the body.
