I looked at the prescription again, and it really shouldn't be! There is nothing special about the patient's condition. Why is the curative effect of ordinary spleen and stomach conditioning always poor? After thinking hard, I still came up with my "stupid method", asking patients one by one the specific diet recipes every day to further find out the cause.
"Dr. Zhu, I drink a bowl of millet porridge every morning, and I also put red dates, lotus seed soup and yam." The patient said.
"Stop millet porridge first!" I immediately found the reason why I had been cured for a long time.
"Why? Dr. Zhu, didn't Chinese medicine say that millet porridge nourishes the stomach? " The patient asked.
"Then I ask you, do you know what millet is said by Chinese medicine? Do you know what role Xiaomi has? " I asked with a smile.
"I don't know? Isn't there only one kind of millet bought online? Doesn't Xiaomi nourish his stomach? ..................................................................................................................................................................................
To discuss whether millet nourishes the stomach, we must first find out what crops "millet" refers to. If Chinese medicine says that millet nourishes the stomach, what exactly is millet referred to by Chinese medicine? In fact, what kind of rice is millet porridge? Few people can make it clear. There are many titles such as millet, yellow rice and glutinous rice on the Internet, which makes people confused. However, according to the shape of millet, the Chinese herbal medicine that can be matched with it is called "Zanmi", but it is not authoritative whether Zanmi is millet.
I looked it up on the Internet, and the Internet thought that Xiaomi was glutinous rice, but what kind of rice Xiaomi was, the Internet didn't give the answer. Here, I want to spit out that the development of the network brings not the convenience of knowledge, but a lot of useless information and stereotyped answers. I used "Xiaomi+glutinous rice" as the key word, and searched for at least five articles about Xiaomi, all of which were the same answer, word for word, but unfortunately, the source of this only answer turned out to be an unreliable health article, so the conclusion of the Internet has almost no reference value. However, one thing is certain. Glutinous rice refers to assembled pasta. Germany (the mill. ) schred is a kind of "chestnut"
Then I used "Xiaomi" as the key word to search, and something helpless happened. Because "Xiaomi" is a well-known electronic brand, it took me a lot of effort to find the relevant information of "Millet". Results The word "Xiaomi" displayed on the Internet also refers to set italica var. Germany (the mill. ) schred is a kind of "chestnut"
Therefore, according to the online data, the result is inferred: Xiaomi = Zanmi.
I went to the domestic paper platform to search again, and found that there are few professional papers to study whether glutinous rice is equal to millet, so there is no clear conclusion in the academic field of traditional Chinese medicine.
Because there is really no reliable basis in Chinese medicine to determine whether millet is glutinous rice, I analyze the health problems of millet porridge from the perspective of glutinous rice. Although it is not authoritative, it can be used for your reference.
There is a comment in Shuo Wen Jie Zi in the Eastern Han Dynasty: "Qi: millet sticks to people, from the grain technique, pictographic, food cutting, or grain saving." According to the classification of grains at that time, millet was one of the grains, and the sticky type of millet was called glutinous rice.
Zanmi first appeared as a medicine in the Jin Dynasty's Bielu of Famous Doctors, which said: "Zanmi: sweet in taste, slightly cold. Stop cold and heat, benefit the large intestine and treat lacquer sores. " There is no theory of nourishing the stomach in the records, and it is not certain whether it is the same variety as the glutinous rice we eat today, because the shape of glutinous rice is not described in the "Records of Famous Doctors", so it cannot be compared with today's glutinous rice.
It was classified as an inedible food in the dietotherapy materia medica of the Tang Dynasty, and it was also recorded that it was often used for brewing wine instead of preserving health in the north. From the Tang Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, there were few clear records of the medicinal value of glutinous rice.
In Compendium of Materia Medica in Ming Dynasty, Li Shizhen inferred that glutinous rice was yellow rice according to the historical evolution of characters. At that time, glutinous rice was commonly known as glutinous millet, and northerners called glutinous rice yellow or yellow rice, which was a sticky millet variety. At the same time, in the Compendium of Materia Medica, there is such a record about glutinous rice: "Glutinous rice is yellow rice, flat in nature, and can't be eaten often, full of five internal organs, moving wind and boring people. According to the "Health Collection" cloud: it tastes sour and hot, sticky, easy to turn yellow and disgusting, and children should not eat more. " In a word, in Li Shizhen's time, people thought that they should not eat more glutinous rice. Since the Ming Dynasty, there has been no change in the records of glutinous rice.
Nowadays, glutinous rice is used to be called northern glutinous rice in Shanghai, and my grandfather wrote it as "northern glutinous rice". I checked the record of glutinous rice in the 20 18 edition of the Shanghai Standard for Processing Chinese Herbal Pieces. The result is that the record under the item is very simple, and the efficacy is recorded as calming the stomach and calming the nerves, which is used for gastrointestinal upset and insomnia at night. I want to emphasize that "harmonizing stomach" is not "nourishing stomach", which involves the meaning of "Banxia Zaomi Decoction" in Huangdi Neijing. I won't go into details today, just to remind everyone that "Pinellia Soap Rice Soup" is to remove both Pinellia ternata and Soap Rice after boiling, and only drink the soup, not the Soap Rice itself. I just hope that everyone can know that glutinous rice is not a good product for nourishing the stomach in Chinese medicine.
To sum up briefly, whether millet, yellow rice and glutinous rice are the same since ancient times is really inconclusive. Today, from all aspects, millet = yellow rice = glutinous rice. I have personally seen glutinous rice slices from Chinese medicine shops, which should be correct.
Glutinous rice in traditional Chinese medicine has no definite effect on nourishing the stomach, and it is even recorded in many works that "you can't eat for a long time, and eating too much has side effects". There is no such medicinal material as "Zanmi" in Chinese medicine, and the 20 18 version of "Shanghai Standard for Processing Chinese Herbal Pieces" is only a few words, so it seems a bit far-fetched for Chinese medicine to say that millet porridge can nourish the stomach. As for the different interpretations of Xiaomi in other scientific fields, I think it is acceptable as long as it is reasonable and well-founded.
Some people will say that there is a custom of drinking millet porridge in the north, but there are obvious differences between the north and the south, and people's physique is also very different. It's hard to say whether we Shanghainese can adapt. One side nourishes the other. For the south where millet is not produced, people's physical factors should be considered. Similarly, northerners eat much less glutinous rice than southerners.
According to my conclusion after researching Xiaomi, I suggest eating it occasionally. I don't recommend long-term health care products as daily health care for people with poor spleen and stomach function.
