In the mouth of the old master, why does it say that in the application of spices, "turmeric should not be used with cloves?" To uncover the answer to this question, it is necessary to start with an ancient book written in the Tang Dynasty.
About the achievements of the Tang Dynasty, has always been our pride as Chinese sons and daughters, "Tang Materia Medica" this famous work was written in the Tang Dynasty, compared with other ancient books, Tang Materia Medica has a more special place, it is the first Chinese medicine classic compiled by the state organization, which shows the influence of such a work on later generations. In "Tang Materia Medica", it is written: "Turmeric, leaves, and roots are like tulip. It was such a sentence that threw the identities of turmeric and Yujin into confusion. In the Song Dynasty after the Tang Dynasty, the pharmacist Su Gong called turmeric, turmeric, and curcuma the same thing because of this confusion.
For hundreds of years, for turmeric and tulip, it has not brought out the water, but an increasingly puzzling chaos. In the Qing Dynasty, there was an even more laughable thing, written in the Qing Dynasty's "Compendium of Materia Medica", which described turmeric as an old ginger that has been grown for more than three years. It can be seen that the identities of turmeric and turmeric are still insightful for scholars, and even more confusing for ordinary people.
The question of whether turmeric and tulip are the same thing cannot be solved, but the toxicity of turmeric and cloves is particularly fresh in many classics, and it is for these two reasons that the helpless masters said that "turmeric should not be used with cloves". After all, it's about the body, so it's a choice to kill by mistake rather than make a mistake.
