Good morning ~
There has been a lot of rain recently, like fog. Although the chill is still there, the dryness in winter has been swept away and the world has become "wet".
This unique moist feeling is a "small signal": the long-awaited spring has arrived.
In spring, with the change of seasons, people's body gradually changes from "winter storage" to "spring health". At this time, the liver is the most active and nourished, which conforms to the breath of spring.
For women who are particularly dependent on qi and blood nourishment, nourishing the liver at this time is to lay a good foundation for the next whole year-as long as the foundation is still there, fatigue, drowsiness and fear of cold can be quickly repaired.
"The most important thing about nourishing the liver is that,
Is to keep the liver relaxed. "
Nourishing the liver, in fact, is to meet its characteristics: to maintain the normal excretion function of the liver.
What is normal? For this, the ancients liked to use the growth of trees as an analogy. According to the history books, there is no straightness.
Straight is actually the state of tree growth, stretching upward and outward.
It means: in spring, the best state of liver qi in our body should be like a tree, soft enough, not too stiff, so that it can be easily broken by the wind and not too bent, so that it can't grow upwards.
If the liver qi can't move upward and outward, there will be problems in the excretion function of the liver, such as liver depression, liver fire and liver blood deficiency.
Therefore, in order to solve these problems, we specially prepared three kinds of snacks, hoping to help you cultivate a natural and good look.
"With this cup of rose tea,
Combing stagnation of liver qi. "
Soothing the liver is a daily necessity this spring.
As we mentioned before, the climate has been somewhat abnormal recently. When it should have warmed up, because of the "cold spring", many places have experienced different degrees of cooling, and even some areas have snowed.
In the view of Chinese medicine, cold is yin and evil, which has the function of resolving stagnation.
The cooling caused by the "cold in late spring" easily leads to the cold entering the body, which hinders the growth of liver qi in our body to a certain extent and makes the liver qi stagnate.
Some sensitive friends may find that the feeling of "blocking" is obviously enhanced:
Chest tightness and tight heart; I always feel phlegm in my throat and my voice is hoarse. Feeling a little depressed and unhappy; Occasionally feel rib pain, the body is not smooth; ......
At this time, it is especially suitable to have a cup of Rose Yue tea, which can comb the liver qi while enriching blood, soften the power of diarrhea, and prevent diarrhea from excessively damaging the liver.
The most special thing at the tea party is the rose.
Its fragrance is the strongest, but it is not turbid, and it will not be too hot to hurt body fluids. Good at harmonizing liver qi, it is the fastest effective and mildest component among qi-regulating drugs.
In Materia Medica Justice, its characteristics are very obvious:
Rose, with the strongest fragrance, is clear but not turbid, harmonious but not fierce, softens the liver and wakes up the stomach, promotes qi and blood circulation, and has no disadvantages of pungent, warm and dry. Among the drugs, the most effective and docile one has almost unparalleled fragrance.
Therefore, even if there are so many ingredients to comb the liver qi, I recommend it most.
In addition to roses, bergamot was added to the recipe. In ancient times, it was an essential aromatic fruit on people's tables.
The aroma is similar to that of citrus, but if you smell it carefully, you will find it clearer and more lasting than citrus. Whether you smell incense or make tea directly, you can get through the true qi in the body and make our whole body relaxed.
All kinds of flowers can help relieve diarrhea, but chrysanthemums are special. They can reduce liver fire without diarrhea.
If you feel unable to sleep recently, your head is swollen, your mouth is bitter and you feel dry, you can drink some chrysanthemums properly to calm your liver fire.
Longan and jujube are both blood-enriching, but the ways of blood-enriching are different.
Jujube tends to strengthen the spleen, help the spleen and stomach to function normally, transform food into Shui Gu essence, then spread it to the heart, and refine it into blood through heart fire.
Longan is a tonic, and the heart governs the blood. If the blood in our body wants to be born continuously, we need the heart to play a corresponding role.
The combination of the two can truly complement qi and blood.
Finally, the formula with dried tangerine peel can promote qi circulation and slowly dissolve the accumulated moisture and turbidity in the body to avoid jujube from getting damp. At the same time, dried tangerine peel also has the function of strengthening the spleen, which can protect the spleen and stomach from liver qi stagnation.
Material: two roses in pingyin rose/five roses in Phnom Penh/two chrysanthemums in 0.5g bergamot/three longan/five red dates. Output: 1. Put the scented tea into the cup, and then pour in more than 90% hot water. Be sure to pour hot water on each flower, rinse it until it is 8 minutes full, and then it is best to cover it and put all the flowers in the cup. 2. After the hot water is soaked, wait quietly for 5 minutes, then open the lid and smell the rising tea fragrance, and your mood becomes soft. Wait for the water in the cup to cool for a while, then you can drink it.
I like to drink some in the afternoon, especially to relieve anxiety and boredom. The layering of its entrance is particularly rich: the sweetness of longan, the fragrance of roses, and the unique fragrance of Gongju ... Unconsciously, a cup of tea has been finished.
"Have a cup of gardenia,
Bye bye for anger ~ "
Liver qi stagnation for a long time, not combed in time, it is easy to cause excessive internal heat. At this time, you will feel a "burning sensation":
There are more and more gums, and the eyes are always dry or have some swelling pain; I feel bitter in my mouth when I get up in the morning, and I feel phlegm in my throat when I open my mouth; Emotional escalation from anxiety to easy to lose your temper; Recurrent oral ulcer, afraid to eat anything; ......
If you have the same situation, I recommend you to drink a cup of Gardenia Shugan Drink. It is mild in nature, can clean up the liver fire and care for the spleen and stomach at the same time, and take care of many friends with weak spleen and stomach who are prone to get angry.
Gardenia jasminoides Ellis has a good effect of purging fire, and it is especially good at dealing with the situation that liver qi stagnates and turns into fire.
When talking about gardenia, Depei Materia Medica said: "When the liver is covered, it is good to disperse, and when it stops, it is strong. It is necessary to use gardenia to clear its gas, and the gas fire is also clear. "
The liver is like a tree. It likes to stretch and doesn't want to be contained, otherwise it will easily stagnate and turn into a fire. Gardenia is good at clearing fire. When the internal heat clears, the liver qi will gradually calm down.
In addition, these ingredients are added everywhere:
1. Roses and bergamot, soothing the liver, regulating qi and activating liver qi. 2. Dandelion, which goes directly to the liver meridian and stomach meridian, can clear stomach fire, and also has a good relieving effect on mammary gland hyperplasia and breast pain. 3. Spleen-invigorating malt and poria cocos can protect our spleen and stomach while clearing away heat. 5. Both platycodon grandiflorum and perilla leaves have the effect of hair growth. Bring the efficacy of other ingredients to the whole body.
It should be noted that if you are cold, you'd better buy a complete gardenia, don't break it, and let your body slowly absorb the medicinal properties of gardenia.
Ingredients: pingyin rose/Poria cocos/bergamot/Platycodon grandiflorum/malt/perilla leaf 3g each; Gardenia/dandelion root 1.5g Production: 1. Wash all the ingredients slightly and put them in the pot. If you are a friend with a serious liver fire, you can adjust Gardenia and Dandelion to 3g. 2. Pour a proper amount of pure water into the pot, turn off the fire after boiling, and fully separate the medicinal properties of the ingredients.
I prefer this cup of tea when I get up in the morning. The taste is clear and light, which can relieve the bitterness in the mouth. It won't be long before you feel that your body will be angry soon.
"With this bowl of soup,
Replenish depleted liver blood. "
Both liver depression and liver fire will actually consume liver blood, so some friends will have other performances at this time:
Poor sleep quality, always waking up at night 1~3 o'clock; Many friends will feel dry eyes, blurred vision and red eyes. Slow limbs, no strength to walk, like a car lacking "lubricant"; Many girls' menstrual period will also become disordered, less, or prolonged; ......
At this time, nourishing liver blood is a very important thing, so I have to mention this small fruit that specializes in nourishing liver blood: mulberry.
This natural nourishing fruit has the best effect of nourishing liver blood and kidney water when it enters the liver and kidney meridians.
Materia Medica says:
"Mulberry is a medicine for cooling blood, enriching blood and benefiting yin. Because it tastes sweet and cold, it can induce diuresis and reduce swelling."
Besides nourishing liver blood and softening liver qi, it can also nourish the kidney and help the body nourish kidney water.
It should be noted that mulberries should be full of fruit, dark red in color and purple. Only in this way can mulberries have sufficient nourishing power.
Mulberry can clear the deficiency fire, and it is slightly cool, which is not suitable for friends with spleen and stomach deficiency and cold.
Therefore, using longan, fried Ziziphus jujuba seeds and Euryale ferox to harmonize the overall taste can also solve various sleep problems caused by liver and blood deficiency.
Both longan and fried Ziziphus jujuba seeds in the prescription can regulate sleep, but in different ways.
The sleeping effect of longan is because it can replenish blood and liver, solve the root cause and naturally relieve insomnia.
Ziziphus jujuba seeds are more inclined to soothe the nerves and converge the mind. However, it should be noted that raw Ziziphus jujuba seeds are used when you can't sleep. If you can't sleep, you have to fry it to be effective.
Coupled with the spleen dampness, "Materia Medica Seeking Truth" said that it "can hold its breath only because it tastes astringent and strengthens the kidney", which can seal up the essence of the whole body and prevent it from leaking out. Sweet and light, it can benefit water, eliminate excess waste water, avoid excessive compensation and produce moisture to the body.
Ingredients: Mulberry10g, fried Ziziphus jujuba seed10g, Euryale euryales12g. Compilation: 1. Cleaning Mori Fructus, Semen Ziziphi Spinosae, Arillus Longan, and Semen Euryales, mashing parched Semen Ziziphi Spinosae, and wrapping with gauze. 2. Add 500 ml of water to Euryale ferox, cook for half an hour, then add longan meat, fried jujube kernel and mulberry, and cook for another half an hour. 3. Take out the jujube kernel, add appropriate amount of sugar, and filter out the juice.
I usually like to drink a bowl before going to bed. It tastes sweet and sour. Longan meat and Euryale ferox will taste a little soft and waxy when cooked.
After drinking, you don't have to worry about sleeping uneasily, you will always wake up ~
