Ejiao is made from donkey skin, which has great advantages in nourishing qi and blood. Colla Corii Asini is listed as the top product of various medicines in Shennong Materia Medica Classic. Long-term administration has the effects of benefiting qi and nourishing blood, and keeping fit and not getting old.

Ejiao is sweet and nourishing, mild and non-toxic, and can be used normally for most people. Ejiao has excellent functions of "enriching blood and stopping bleeding, nourishing yin and nourishing lung", so it has better medicinal value for women.

1, Ejiao can help people enrich blood and nourish blood.

The ancients believed that Ejiao belongs to animal medicinal materials, and it is a kind of flesh-and-blood product, which has excellent functions of enriching blood and nourishing blood. Therefore, taking Ejiao can play a better role in nourishing people who are deficient in blood and blood and weak in blood on weekdays.

For example, people with deficiency of liver and blood and deficiency of both qi and blood often have chlorosis, dizziness, palpitation and fatigue in their lives. At this time, you can eat some Ejiao properly to nourish them.

Like the popular Ejiao cake now, it is made of Ejiao together with red dates, medlar, walnut kernels, black sesame seeds, etc., which can not only nourish qi and blood, but also play a role in caring skin, resisting aging and enhancing human immunity to a certain extent.

2. Ejiao can help people nourish yin.

Colla Corii Asini is sweet and moist in texture, and has a good effect of nourishing yin.

For example, some friends with yin deficiency constitution are often accompanied by body fluid deficiency, thirst, palpitation, confusion and insomnia. Taking some Ejiao can be effectively relieved.

Especially for people with insufficient lung yin, it is better to take Ejiao. Li Shizhen said in Compendium of Materia Medica, "Anyone who coughs, regardless of lung deficiency or lung excess, must use Ejiao to moisten the lung, which is peaceful and essential for the lung meridian".

Therefore, if the lung yin is insufficient and accompanied by dry cough, less phlegm and sticky phlegm, and chronic cough and sore throat, eating some Ejiao at this time can also have the effect of nourishing lung yin, moistening lung and relieving cough.

In addition, for some cough and asthma caused by fatigue and deficiency of both lung and kidney, some Ejiao can also be used as medicine to relieve it.

Of course, Ejiao is good, but it is not suitable to eat more. Ejiao is sweet in texture, but it is too greasy. If it is used improperly or taken excessively, it will hinder the transport and transformation function of the spleen and stomach.
