    Chinese medicine and health care are the same, and many Chinese medicinal materials can be directly put into the diet, commonly known as medicine and food homology.

    When I was in college, I studied Chinese medicine, so I know a lot about this knowledge.

    For example, honey is the first one in the qi tonic medicine, and we usually need honey to mix it in our daily life, whether it is making snacks, cooking, or boiling tea. The most famous tea drink is honey grapefruit tea, usually we can use honey instead of sugar when making some clear dishes, which can not only make diabetics feel at ease to eat, but also honey can regulate blood sugar.

    The second is wolfberry, wolfberry is a yin-nourishing medicine, which has the effect of nourishing the liver and kidneys, nourishing the liver and brightening the purpose. Regular consumption has the effect of preventing glaucoma and regulating backache and leg pain. In daily life, whether we stew chicken soup or fish soup, we can add some wolfberries, which can not only supplement nutrition, but also have the effect of removing fish, toning and whitening.

    The third is the yam, which is well-known in the north and south of the country, and the Chinese patent medicine is the Liuwei Dihuang Pill, which is used to strengthen the spleen and kidneys. However, in our daily life, there are many ways to make yam and eat it, such as shredded yam, yam and red date porridge, fried yam tablets and so on. Not only refreshing and delicious, but also easy to operate, many friends love to order a plate of yam when eating hot pot, that is because it has the effect of nourishing yin and replenishing qi.

    The fourth is hawthorn, usually we often eat rock sugar gourd, and an appetizer often ordered in the restaurant is "red and hot", in fact, the essence is candied hawthorn. Hawthorn this traditional Chinese medicine can not only be appetizing but also can invigorate blood stasis, there is a Chinese medicine home remedy is to use hawthorn ** dysmenorrhea, that is, a week before menstruation, boil hawthorn and brown sugar to eat, eat two to three days after you can ensure that the entire menstrual period is comfortable.

    Finally, I will talk about barley, which has the effect of dispelling dampness and strengthening the spleen, detoxifying and reducing swelling. In the process of daily cooking, we can often see that barley is often used to make porridge, especially when cooking large bone broth, adding barley can increase the whiteness of the soup, which is not only sweet and delicious, but also particularly nutritious.

    According to the survey, there are 186 kinds of traditional Chinese medicine that can be eaten, and I am only talking about five of them.

    I think the most common is goji berries. This is also something that many people know about Chinese herbal medicine that can be used as an ingredient.

    Goji berries have appeared in many tonic foods, such as black chicken soup after pregnant women give birth, you can put a few wolfberries to not only decorate, but also increase nutrition.

    There is also an uncommon dish made with goji berries, stewed seahorses with goji berries. In fact, small seahorses can also be used as medicine, and they can also be used for food supplements. Together with wolfberries, the soup is made in a casserole, both of which are both medicinal herbs and edible. It's a big supplement.

    Barley is also a kind of Chinese herbal medicine for food supplementation. I didn't know that there was this kind of rice before, but then I was overweight and collected various methods**, and I accidentally saw a **recipe for Chinese medicine**. Among them, barley is used to make porridge and drink, and of course, other ingredients will be added to it to fully supplement the nutritional needs of the human body.

    However, barley is the main ingredient, and it has the effect of removing moisture. Many people who have been unable to achieve the effect for a long time are because the moisture in the body is too heavy, so they can't reduce it.

    In fact, the favorite rose of our female friends is also a kind of food and medicine supplement. Roses have the effect of nourishing the skin. For the pigmentation on the face, it will be improved after long-term consumption.

    Roses can be made into rose puree to eat, or put into ejiao, which can play a role in replenishing blood and rejuvenating qi. It's just that after all, the effect of traditional Chinese medicine ingredients is slower than that of Western medicine, and the effect can only be seen if you insist on eating.

    The eight-treasure porridge we often eat now also has a lot of ingredients in traditional Chinese medicine, such as longan meat, which is a medicinal tonic ingredient. But I don't like to eat eight-treasure porridge very much, and the elderly often eat it to strengthen their bodies.

    1. Licorice. Licorice, also known as sweet grass, is a leguminous family and is a tonic Chinese herbal medicine. It is a very good medicine for the human body, and the addition of marinade can make the lo-mei hair silky sweet, and it is often added to the production of lo-mei as a spice.

It is an orange plant of the Rutaceae family, with a light yellowish-white inner surface, rough, with yellowish-white or yellowish-brown tendon-like vascular bundles. The texture is slightly hard and brittle. It is fragrant, pungent and bitter in taste.

    3. Dried hawthorn.

    It is made by slicing hawthorn berries and drying them or drying them. Hawthorn is an edible plant, the quality is hard, the flesh is thin, there are seeds inside, the taste is sour, put into the marinade, you can add sweet and sour taste, but also help the meat to be soft and rotten.

    The marinade flavor is long, and other required spices:

    1. Green onion, ginger and garlic.

    The most common and basic ingredient is to remove the odor of the ingredients, and we generally use fresh ones.

    2. Alcohol. It can help the lo-mei increase the mellow aroma, and also has a certain bactericidal effect, but it should not be put too much, so as not to steal the flavor.

    3. Dried chili peppers.

    The indispensable thing about the spicy duck neck is the spicy taste, so you can use it according to your taste.

    4. Sichuan pepper. Hemp-flavored **, like chili peppers, use as appropriate.

    What are the edible stupid herbs? Perhaps many people can't imagine that Chinese herbs such as mint, dandelion, and purslane can also come to the table and become a delicacy in the mouths of the people, playing some health care roles that vegetables do not have.

    In this issue, I would like to recommend several Chinese herbs that can be eaten as dishes.

    Mint. Freshly picked mint leaves are refreshing and delicious, and have a variety of health care functions such as clearing the heart and eyes, detoxifying and defeating fire, dispelling wind and dissipating heat, increasing appetite, and helping digestion.

    In addition to being used to make tea, mint can also be stir-fried with tofu or made with crucian carp in soup.

    It should be reminded that people with symptoms such as night sweats, irritability, itching, blowing wind and catching colds, as well as people with spleen and stomach deficiency and diarrhea, should eat less.

    Portulaca oleracea. Purslane has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, cooling blood and stopping bleeding, dispersing stasis and reducing swelling, and its young stems and leaves can be eaten as vegetables or dried vegetables.

    Purslane can be used to scramble eggs and can also be served cold.

    However, it contains more oxalic acid, so it is best to blanch it before cooking.

    Purslane is a cold product, and people with weak spleen and stomach, cold and diarrhea and pregnant women should avoid eating.

    Andrographis. Andrographis has a bitter taste, cold nature, has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, cooling blood, reducing swelling, etc., and can be used for cold and fever, sore throat, mouth and tongue sores, diarrhea and dysentery, poisonous snake bite and so on.

    Andrographis can clear away heat and detoxify, and eating it cold can better maintain its nutritional value and health care function.

    However, andrographis is cold, and people who are weak, prone to diarrhea and cold are better to eat less.

What Chinese herbal medicines are suitable for medicinal diet? Let's take a look.

    1. Traditional Chinese medicine is used in dishes to prevent colds

    1. Astragalus. Efficacy: Strengthens the heart, enhances yang energy, can prevent colds and enhance immunity.

    Method: It is more suitable for soup, boil astragalus with all ingredients for at least 30 minutes, it is recommended to pair it with cold and cold foods, such as astragalus winter melon soup.

    Method: It is more suitable for soups, boil the yellow essence with all the ingredients for at least 30 minutes, it is recommended to pair it with warm and hot foods, such as yellow essence chicken soup.

    2. Misunderstandings of winter colds

    1. Use compound cough and cold medicines. "Compound" means that a medicine contains a variety of active ingredients, but compound cough and cold medicine belongs to what we often say and "indicators do not cure the root cause" of medicine, which will not eliminate **, but only relieve cough and runny nose caused by colds. Different pharmaceutical companies may produce compound cough and cold medicines with the same ingredients, but they are under different brand names at the pharmacy**, and it is easy to overdose on them due to repeated doses.

    2. Use "anti-inflammatory drugs" when you have a cold and fever. "Anti-inflammatory drugs" are antibiotics, antibiotics are actually not for cold viruses, but for bacterial infections, and more than 90% of colds are caused by viruses, so usually do not use antibiotics for colds, and the abuse of antibiotics often leads to antibiotic resistance.

    3. The baby has a fever and gets a fever injection. Nowadays, some parents may not correctly recognize that the fever is because the body's immunity is working, thinking that high fever is a very serious disease, and the way to choose a quick solution is to take a fever reduction injection. The mechanism of action of the anti-coarse anti-burning needle is to inhibit the fever center, which actually inhibits immunity, so that the baby's body cannot fight this disease, and the virus is easy to cause infection in the body.

    4. The baby's cough is excessive. Cough is not a disease in itself, it is a symptom of a variety of respiratory diseases, and it is a way for the body to protect itself by expelling foreign bodies or secretions from the body through coughing. If you forcibly give your baby cough and cold medicine, it will cause sputum to remain in the body, which can easily cause more serious respiratory infections such as pneumonia.
