People living in rural areas must be familiar with all kinds of wild vegetables, one of which is called Mayasao, and there are many ways to eat it. Clever housewives search and wash the freshly picked horse teeth, remove the roots and fry them directly. It is a delicious vegetable, or made into cold salad, or chopped as dumpling stuffing, and some even use it to make soup.

After the living conditions gradually improved, wild vegetables such as Mayasao gradually lost their appeal. As we all know, dried purslane can not only be used as an ordinary dried vegetable to steam meat pies, but more importantly, dried purslane is also a kind of "medicine", which has played an effective role in treating many diseases. The efficacy of horse tooth search generally has the following kinds.

First, the three effects of horse tooth search

First of all, Chinese medicine believes that horse teeth are cool and have the effects of clearing away heat and toxic materials, stopping bleeding and removing blood stasis. When suffering from acute enteritis, appendicitis and other diseases, you can take horse teeth to boil soup. If you are bitten by insects or get eczema, you can mash horse teeth and apply them to the swollen parts, and the swelling effect is very obvious.

Secondly, equisetum is rich in potassium salts, cardiac glycosides, alkaloids and other components, which plays an important role in inhibiting myocardial excitement and lowering blood pressure, helping to reduce the burden on the heart, thereby reducing the oxygen consumption of the heart and helping to reduce the probability of cardiovascular diseases. Japanese equisetum is called a heart-protecting dish by many people. This is because the omega-3 fatty acids contained in equisetum japonicum can inhibit the production of serum cholesterol and triglycerides, thus preventing cholesterol from depositing in blood vessels and causing arteriosclerosis. In addition, omega-3 fatty acids can also reduce thromboxane A and blood viscosity, which is to prevent the occurrence of coronary heart disease.

Finally, horse tooth search is often used to treat skin ulcers. Because equisetum japonicum is rich in vitamin A and vitamin C, these two substances play an important role in promoting the healing of ulcer skin epithelial cells. For example, equisetum japonicum is often used to treat intestinal ulcers.

It is not difficult to find that sun-dried horse teeth can not only be made into delicious dishes, but also be a medicine with high medicinal value. Of course, although there are so many functions of horse teeth, there are still some precautions when using them.

Second, use horse teeth to find matters needing attention

You must pay attention to the intake when using horse tooth search, whether it is as a dish or as a medicine. Eating too much horse teeth may make you sick. If you are not sure whether you can eat horse tooth search, you'd better eat less first and wait for your body to get used to it.

Because horse tooth search is a cold food, if it is cold constitution or people with gastrointestinal discomfort and diarrhea symptoms, it is best not to eat it, so as not to cause harm to the body and aggravate the condition after eating it.

In addition, pregnant women had better not eat Portulaca oleracea, because from the perspective of Chinese medicine, Portulaca oleracea has the function of abortion before, so pregnant women should avoid eating Portulaca oleracea for the sake of fetal health.
