When it comes to nourishment, the first things that pop up in many people’s minds are ginseng and deer antler.
These things are indeed good, but they are not cheap and not suitable for everyone.
In reality, there are many undervalued nourishing medicinal materials around us. Their medicinal properties are relatively mild and the effects they produce are very solid. The key is to know how to use them, so that they can truly regulate the physical condition properly.
Astragalus is the daily choice for replenishing qi.
Many people suffer from qi deficiency. They have no energy all day long, feel weak when speaking, and sweat when they move a little. At this time, the use of astragalus is particularly suitable.
Astragalus, which is characterized by tonic without causing dryness, is called by Chinese medicine the most important drug for replenishing qi. It is not like some ginseng, which can cause internal heat if consumed in excess.
On weekdays, you can use astragalus to soak in water for drinking, or you can put a few slices in it when making soup. Gradually, the breath will be sufficient, and the whole person will become more energetic.
It should be noted that when you have a cold or fever, or when your body is overheated, do not use it for the time being and wait until it gets better before making any plans.
Soothe the nerves and help you sleep without getting angry, the gentle nourishing method of deer antler
Antler It's not something that you need to take tonic. It has very mild medicinal properties and can be used all year round.
It is especially friendly to people who always feel tired, cannot sleep well, and have neurasthenia.
Whether it is the elderly, children, or people who are physically weak after illness, it can be used as long as it is symptomatic.
In normal times, it can be ground into powder and used to drink, or used to make wine. However, the dosage does not need to be large. The most important thing is to use it slowly and continuously.
For some individuals, once they take supplements, the fire energy in the body will rise. However, using a substance like deer antler is less likely to cause problems. This is an extremely precious quality of it.
Bird's nest is not just for beauty, it is the best food for dryness and cough
Many people think that bird's nest is an item for women to use for beauty. In fact, it has a more prominent ability, which is to nourish the lungs and maintain yin energy.
Those people will have dry cough in autumn, itchy throat, and even cough up blood. Bird's nest is quite suitable for treating this condition.
Its moist texture can slowly nourish the body fluid in the lungs and reduce the deficiency fire.
When stewing bird's nests on weekdays, you don't need to add too many things. Rock sugar and red dates are already very good. If you continue to eat them for a period of time, your breathing will feel much smoother.
Polygonum multiflorum, black hair is only superficial, liver and kidney are the root
The most well-known Polygonum multiflorum is that it can turn white hair into black. However, this is only the final result. Its actual function is to nourish the liver and kidneys and increase the essence and blood.
Premature graying of hair, soreness of waist and knees, and dizziness are mostly caused by liver and kidney deficiency.
Polygonum multiflorum can replenish the liver and kidneys. If the essence and blood are sufficient, the hair will naturally be cured.
However, Polygonum multiflorum must be processed. Raw Polygonum multiflorum is slightly toxic, so you should never dig it up and eat it at will.
When using it, it is best to combine it with blood-nourishing things such as angelica and wolfberry, and the effect will be better.
Gastrodia elata specializes in treating various types of dizziness and can be used regardless of whether it is virtual or real.
Gastrodia elata When it comes to treating dizziness, it can be said to be a one-size-fits-all solution.
Whether it is hyperactivity of liver yang caused by high blood pressure or dizziness caused by blood deficiency, Gastrodia elata can play a role.
It has a moist texture, can nourish blood and calm wind, and can significantly improve the dizzying feeling.
You can usually stew chicken soup or steam eggs, and the taste is not difficult to accept.
However, Gastrodia elata treats the symptoms. If you want to remove the root, you have to use it together with drugs that regulate the root cause.
Seahorse nourishes the kidneys and strengthens yang, an old friend of men
In traditional Chinese medicine, hippocampus is an important drug that can tonify the kidneys and strengthen yang. It is effective for soreness and weakness in the waist and knees. It can also help with low energy conditions. It even helps with neurasthenia.
What many people don’t know is that hippocampus has the effect of relieving coughs and relieving asthma, and it also has a certain effect on asthma caused by the kidneys not being able to receive qi.
Normally, it can be used to make wine, or it can be made into powder and used to drink. However, the amount cannot be too much. A pound of wine for a pair of seahorses is enough.
It should be noted that people with excessive heat or yin deficiency and excessive fire are not suitable for use alone.
Before replenishing the deficiency, first identify what you are lacking.
Tonic medicines are generally divided into four categories: those that nourish qi, those that support yang, those that nourish blood, and those that nourish yin.
For those with qi deficiency, astragalus and ginseng will be used; for those with yang deficiency, velvet antler and seahorse will be used; for those with blood deficiency, angelica and polygonum multiflorum will be used; for those with yin deficiency, bird's nest and wolfberry will be used.
Many people indiscriminately eat whatever they hear is good, and end up causing problems.
For example, if you obviously have a yin deficiency, but you take a lot of yang-boosting medicine, it will only add fuel to the fire.
Before supplementing, it is best to find a sensible person to take a look, or learn more basic knowledge yourself, and do not blindly follow other people's actions.
When it comes to nourishment, the more expensive the better, nor the more the better.
The key lies in symptomatic treatment, appropriate dosage, and persistence.
Each of the above medicinal materials has its own unique advantages. Find the ones that suit your own constitution, use the correct method, and gradually replenish the depleted Qi and blood, and your body will naturally give you the best rewards.
