The modern "National Compilation of Chinese Herbal Medicine" summarizes the efficacy of mulberry for nourishing the liver and kidney, nourishing blood and dispelling wind, and treating deafness and dizziness, premature whitening, neurasthenia, blood deficiency and constipation, rheumatism and joint pain. Let's talk about mulberries today.

Chinese medicine
The traditional Chinese medicine mulberry is the dried fruit spike of the mulberry plant. It is mainly produced in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hunan and Sichuan. In April ~ June, when the fruit turns red, it is harvested and dried, or slightly steamed and dried. This product has a slight gas, a slightly sour and sweet taste. It is better to be large, dark purple in color and thick in flesh. Raw.
This product is sweet, sour and cold. Return to the heart, liver, and kidney meridians. It has the effect of nourishing yin and nourishing blood, nourishing and moisturizing dryness.
Note: Those with weak spleen and stomach and loose stools should not take it.
"Materia Medica"
Mulberry, sweet and cold and blood and heat removal, for the cold blood and blood and yin medicine, thirst due to internal heat, lack of fluid, so quench thirst. The five organs belong to yin, and the five organs benefit the yin and therefore the five organs. If the yin is insufficient, the blood and qi of the joints will not be passed, and the blood will be full of energy, and the yin qi will be prosperous for a long time, and the blood and qi will be self-draining. If the heat retreats from the yin, the liver and heart will have no fire, so the soul will be at peace and the spirit will be clear, the spirit will be smart and internal, and the yin will become white and ageless. Sweet and cold remove heat, so the detoxification of alcohol. Cold and downward water, so water gas and swelling.
"New Edition of Materia Medica"
Mulberry white skin, sweet and pungent, cold, can rise or fall, yang and yin. Start with the yin lungs. It helps vitality, replenishes fatigue and fatigue, pours out fire evil, relieves asthma and saliva blood, dilutes water and reduces swelling, quenches thirst and repels phlegm. Knife wounds, make seams, hot chicken blood can be healed.
The power of mulberry leaves, better than mulberry bark, the best marrow in the bones, add the essence in the kidneys, stop the sweat in the body, fill the brain and eyes, invigorate the blood, the seeds to stabilize the fetus, reconcile the blood, Tongli joints, stop cholera vomiting and diarrhea, remove rheumatism and cold paralysis, eliminate edema and foot floating, the old man can help the old but the old, the old woman can have fewer children.
Mulberry, a black mustache, can especially quench thirst and moisturize dryness, and add lean brain. Compared with these three products, the skin is not as good as the tree, and the tree is even worse than the leaf.
The predecessors did not have a clear distinction, the world did not know, Yu Deqi Bo Tianshi personally said, the old man and woman can not have children, make mulberry leaves as the square, so that the old man is over eight or eight years old, and the old woman is over seven or seven years old, and the person who is still able to get a child can still get a child, and he knows the wonder of mulberry leaves, which is beyond the reach of those who make up for the true yin. The mulberry leaves used must be wonderful for the first time, and those who regenerate after harvest will have their skills halved.
Or suspect that mulberry is the essence of the mulberry tree, its merit is better than the leaf, and my son said that the mulberry leaf is not as good as the leaf, the meaning of the mulberry leaf can be used in all seasons, and the mulberry must be picked in April is difficult? Said: The function of the tree and the leaf is the same. Because it is difficult to adopt the four seasons, and the system is not lawful, the merit is inferior to the leaves. I have prepared a way to tell the people, so that they may know everything. In April, several buckets of mulberries are picked, the rice pot is steamed, and the sun can be dried.
The mulberry is not steamed, and it refuses to dry, that is, it is dry and the taste has been dissipated and useless, and it is especially hateful to iron. However, it is steamed in the drinking pot, although the iron pot is not hindered, this is the secret of the rest of the Qi Heavenly Master. With the same cooked land, dogwood, schisandra, ginseng with the same use, the actual benefit is an elixir, I am afraid that the world does not know the method, so the wonder of mulberry leaves. The cover has no leaves for the tree, and the function is the same as the ear. The purple mulberry is the first, the red is second, and the green is not available. Mulberry leaves are picked like tea, the big one is the first, the big one is second, and the small one is second. Rather than small, there is no better than big.
If it is too large, it can only be decocted for medicine, and it is unbearable to be scattered as a pill. Wash the eyes, it is advisable to take the old mulberry leaves, and those who fall by themselves are useless.
