Gui Zijiang, also known as Yang Jiang and Jiang Bu Spicy, came from North America and was introduced to China via Europe in the Qing Dynasty. Guizijiang is a tuber, which grows underground and looks like ginger, so it is called Yangjiang and Guizijiang.
Is Guizijiang cold or hot?
Chinese medicine believes that Guizijiang is sweet and cool in nature, enters the lungs and intestines, and has the functions of clearing heat and cooling blood, inducing diuresis and reducing swelling. It is suitable for edema, fever, diarrhea due to intestinal heat, hematochezia and stranguria.
The tuber of Clerodendrum bungeanum contains a lot of carbohydrates, accounting for about 18%~20% of the fresh weight, among which the fructan content is high, also known as inulin or inulin, accounting for about 80% of the carbohydrates.
The efficacy and function of Guizijiang
The medicinal value of Guizijiang mainly comes from a large amount of inulin, which is the raw material for extracting inulin health food.
Inulin not only contains a lot of soluble dietary fiber fructooligosaccharides, but also contains a lot of fructooligosaccharides with prebiotic function.
Inulin has excellent intestinal function, which plays a certain role in improving immunity, preventing intestinal infection and constipation.
In addition, inulin also has the functions of increasing satiety, regulating metabolic function, controlling blood lipid, reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease and promoting mineral absorption. It is suitable for the elderly, children who need to improve their immunity and patients with metabolic diseases such as obesity and diabetes.
