Traditional medicine believes that human beings live in nature, and the physiological functions of the human body often change with the seasons.
The so-called "corresponding to heaven and man", the "Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic" gives the principle of health care of the four seasons, "spring life, summer long, autumn harvest, winter collection", the main collection in winter.
Winter is the best season of supplementation in the four seasons of the year, the folk also have "winter supplement, the next year to fight the tiger", autumn and winter are good at supplementation, can lay a solid foundation for the body in the coming year, away from diseases.
Otherwise, when the cold really comes, the body will not be able to hold up, and it will be easy to catch a cold. In the spring of the next year, if there is another spring cold, the body will collapse.
Subsequently, various problems will appear, such as spleen and stomach deficiency, lack of qi and blood... Leave you plagued by disease all winter.
On every cold and windy night, the hands and feet are cold, how to hold the hot water bottle is not hot, the face is dull, painful, menstrual irregularities, and often foot cramps...
Some people say that the soup medicine is too painful to swallow, chinese proprietary medicine granules, etc., not only the efficacy is not good, the taste is also difficult to say.
So today I recommend a most suitable edible medicinal diet for autumn and winter supplements.
Speaking of winter health supplements, that is a major feature of Chinese medicine, the most recommended cold repellent qi and blood classic recipe is from Zhang Zhongjing's "Golden Essentials" in the "Angelica Ginger Mutton Soup".
According to the original composition of the book: angelica, ginger, lamb.
If there is more cold, add ginger times, add more pain and vomiting, orange peel, white art, add ginger, also like five liters of water, boil three liters of two served.
Seeing this, you may have questions, why is there lamb?
In fact, as early as thousands of years ago, the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing Suwen" has a record of "five grains for nourishment, five fruits for help, five animals for benefit, five vegetables for filling, and so on." As the saying goes, medicine is not as good as food supplement, and Chinese medicine pays more attention to the homology of medicine and food.
Mutton is warm, sweet, into the spleen and kidneys, beneficial to qi and blood, sperm blood, help Yuanyang, nourish the face, is a tonic and strong medicine.
For men; modern life is stressful, many men have kidney deficiency due to various reasons, lamb is warm but not dry, can make up for fatigue, can warm sperm and blood, has a very good effect of kidney aphrodisiac.
For women, it is not only tonify the qi and nourish the blood, appetize and strengthen the spleen, but also can only drive away the cold and keep warm, appetize and strengthen the spleen, and nourish the skin.
In autumn and winter, lamb soup is often drunk, which has the effect of warming up. Eating lamb can play a dual role in supplementing and protecting against cold.
Angelica is warm, sweet and spicy, and enters the liver, heart and spleen meridians. It has the reputation of good medicine for blood tonic, good gynecological products, and so on.
Women are blood-based, liver-based, women's life to experience, menstruation, pregnancy, childbirth, milk, the four processes are all consuming women's sperm blood, women's normal physiological functions, to be supported by blood.
In addition, angelica can treat all adverse blood disorders, such as dizziness, palpitations, yellowish face, low menstrual volume caused by blood stasis, low menstrual flow caused by blood stasis, dysmenorrhea, amenorrhea, dull skin and other symptoms.
Angelica is not only suitable for women, but also good for men, although the symptoms of ischemia in men are not as obvious as those in women, but to tell you, sperm and blood are of the same origin.
The last medicine is ginger. Ginger is not only our daily condiment, it also has good medicinal value.
Ginger taste spicy, slightly warm, into the spleen, stomach, lungs meridians, with sweating to relieve the table, warm to stop vomiting, warm lungs cough, detoxification effect.
Many people in the autumn and winter, will supplement a variety of ingredients and valuable supplements.
However, there is a point that the supplement is not only to eat a variety of expensive supplements, but also to learn a reasonable combination.
Because the food eaten needs to be further digested and absorbed by the spleen and stomach, if the spleen and stomach are weak and cold, they must pay attention to restoring stomach qi when taking supplements.
Otherwise, not only can not be replenished, it will be easy to get tired of the stomach, and it is not sore throat, or mouth ulcers, and even some people have nosebleeds, resulting in "deficiency and non-replenishment".
The addition of ginger in this formula can warm the stomach and disperse the cold, restore the spleen and stomach function, let the spleen and stomach work well, and transport and absorb the nutrients, so that it will not be "weak and not replenished".
Finally, considering the large amount of each flavored medicine in the sutra formula, it is the amount of cooking once and taking it in three parts.
According to the single person once use, the dosage is slightly adjusted.
Finally decided to use: angelica, ginger, lamb, cookable ground, goji berries, red dates, rice wine, seasoning to taste.
Considering that angelica is dry and dry, it is not appropriate for some people who are yin and weak, so add cooked land to balance the dryness of angelica. (Whitening for those with weak spleen and stomach)
According to your preference, you can also add some wild ingredients such as shallots, yam, cumin, and tangerine peel.
Some people say: "Eating ginger in the morning is better than eating ginseng soup, and eating ginger in the evening is equivalent to eating arsenic."
From the perspective of Traditional Chinese medicine, at night is the time when the body's Yang Qi converges, the divergent effect of ginger Xinwen will affect sleep, and eating Xinwen ginger at night is easy to produce symptoms of internal heat "on fire".
It's an exaggeration to say it's like "arsenic", but it's better to eat as little as possible at night. If the wind is cold and cold, you can add ginger and some brown sugar to boil water to drink, and the effect is very good.
