These so-called Chinese medicine snacks are made from some Chinese medicine ingredients with the same origin of medicine and food, which can not only satisfy everyone's appetite, but also have a certain health care effect.
However, although they are snacks and food, they also have another identity, that is, medicinal materials. Even if it is medicine, you can't eat it casually. You should pay attention to how to eat it.
The most common snack in summer should be Guiling Ointment. Many merchants make turtle ling paste into jelly, and some make it into ingredients in milk tea and desserts.
Because it tastes like jelly and has the effect of reducing fire, it is popular in summer.
However, the delicious turtle ling paste is not suitable for everyone, mainly because there are too many raw materials.
In fact, the practice of Guiling Ointment originated in ancient times, and it used to be sold as medicine. Only later, through the improvement of formula and the change of taste, did today's food-grade turtle ling ointment come into being.
In modern tortoise plastron, medicinal and edible components such as tortoise plastron, Smilax glabra, honeysuckle, dandelion, chrysanthemum and licorice are generally used. Tortoise shell and Smilax glabra are two main components. (Otherwise, why is it called Guiling Cream! )
Tortoise shell, also known as tortoise shell, is taken from tortoise shell. It is rich in animal collagen, fat, keratin, 18 amino acid, and various trace elements such as calcium, phosphorus and zinc, and has the functions of enhancing immunity, enriching blood and calming the nerves.
Smilax glabra contains polysaccharide, starch, carotene and isoastragaloside IV, and has diuretic, analgesic, bacteriostatic and mercury poisoning effects.
In addition, honeysuckle, dandelion and so on. In fact, it is a classic ingredient for clearing heat and purging fire. The perfect combination of multi-flavor ingredients makes Guiling ointment have the effects of clearing away heat and toxic materials, nourishing yin and tonifying kidney, moistening intestines and relaxing bowels.
However, it is precisely because of its medicinal properties that it tends to be cold. People with cold stomach and weak spleen and stomach are not suitable for eating Guiling Ointment.
In addition, tortoise plastron can excite uterus and promote blood circulation, so pregnant women and women are not suitable for eating during menstruation.
Ejiao, a medicinal material, has existed since ancient times. As early as in Compendium of Materia Medica, it was recorded in detail that Ejiao has the efficacy of treating hematemesis, epistaxis, bloody stranguria and hematuria.
At present, Colla Corii Asini is an important blood-enriching drug in clinical application of traditional Chinese medicine, which is mostly used for various syndromes of blood deficiency, and it is effective when used alone.
The raw material of Ejiao is mainly boiled from donkey skin.
Another important raw material in ejiao jujube is jujube. I believe I don't need to say more. As we all know, jujube has the function of nourishing liver and enriching blood, and it is one of the more common classic ingredients.
After the boiled donkey-hide gelatin is combined with jujube, whether it is eaten by women or men in daily life, it can achieve the effects of strengthening the spleen and regulating the stomach, benefiting qi and calming the nerves, nourishing yin and moistening dryness.
Moreover, people with deficiency of both qi and blood often eat some ejiao jujube, which is very beneficial. But in ejiao jujube, a warm food, if there are patients with stomach heat and indigestion, it is easy to get angry if they eat too much.
So in any case, it is advisable to take 7 pills at a time.
Poria cocos, a commonly used Chinese medicine, has the effect of strengthening the spleen and nourishing the stomach. Poria cocos cake is made from Poria cocos and flour for external use. It looks like a full moon, as thin as paper, as white as snow, fragrant and sweet.
Eating Fuling cake every day can not only strengthen the spleen and nourish the stomach, but also help to eliminate dampness and improve the body's immunity.
It stands to reason that this thing should be more suitable for the public to eat. But this is not the case.
I don't know if you have eaten Fuling cake recently, will it be a little sweet? In fact, the recipe of Fuling cake has changed in the process of inheritance. In order to better adapt to the tastes of modern people.
Therefore, in fact, the poria cocos cakes that are widely seen now are all added with honey and sugar. This kind of food is definitely not recommended for patients with hyperglycemia. In addition, people with weak digestive function are not suitable for eating more.
Because sugar easily disturbs the intestinal flora.
