Guya was first recorded in "Famous Doctors". The source is the dried budded grains from the mature caryopses of the gramineous plant rice, which are produced throughout the country. Soak the rice in clean water for 8 to 10 hours, take it out and put it into a basket. Use straw as the bottom and grass on the surface. Place it in a warm place. Pour water several times a day until the sprouts are 4 to 5 minutes long and dry in the sun. In order to strengthen the stomach, heat the pot, add the grain buds and fry until they are brown. In order to take out the food, put it into the pot and stir-fry until it bursts and turns brown.

It is sweet and warm but does not damage the vitality. It can invigorate the spleen and stimulate the appetite, digest food and harmonize the heart. It can lower the qi and resolve accumulation. It is a holy medicine for strengthening the spleen and warming the middle. It can be stir-fried. "Compendium of Materia Medica" says: "This is rice as a tiller, not a different name for rice." "Newly Revised Materia Medica" says: "Tillers are not given the name of reason, but should be named after things that can grow. It is said that rice is used as a tiller, so how can rice be grown? According to the "Shi Jing", rice is called "rice tiller". " Said: "There are millet, broomcorn millet, cereal, wheat, bean and other tillers, which are all swollen with water, and the buds are exposed to dry and remove the beards. Take the rice and stir-fry and grind it for flour. Its functions are mainly for digestion. " "Compendium of Materia Medica" "Also said: "Rice tillers are also called grain buds." According to the above textual research on herbal medicine, in ancient times, the fruits of rice, millet, broomcorn millet and other plants were used to produce buds for human medicine, but rice buds should be the main ones. "Compendium of Materia Medica" says: "Tillery rice, this is millet tiller, and it is used in Gushen Powder today." Nowadays, in northern my country, it is customary to sprout millet and use it as grain buds.

Guya is hot and bitter in taste, and is non-toxic. It mainly regulates cold and lower qi, removes heat, and absorbs the wood qi that arises in spring. It enters the Liver Meridian of Foot Jueyin and gets the fire flavor from the south of the earth. It enters the Heart Meridian of Shaoyin. The smell rises more than it falls, which is a sign of yang, which affects the spleen and stomach. Grains are absorbed into the earth, and the warmth can dispel cold. Therefore, it mainly refers to the cold, and the taste is bitter and drains downwards, so the lowering of qi can remove heat.

I summarized the functions of grain buds by the sages as follows: Grain buds quicken the spleen and stimulate the appetite, lower qi and balance the middle qi, and eliminate food accumulation. If it is raw, it will be used for transporting and transforming. If it is stir-fried, it will be used for enlightening. When cooked, it is suitable for reducing gastric qi deficiency and obstruction, and it can also help the stomach to transform food. Malt is not only good at cutting, but it is also capable of breaking blood stasis and guiding turbidity. Amomum villosum and atractylodes can make people eat. Use a large amount of more than 100g and stir-fry wheat germ for women to eat for weaning. The grain sprouts are combined with roasted licorice, amomum and atractylodes to make pills, which are called Gushen pills. To open the spleen and eat, take yam, white poria, white peony root, atractylodes, and tangerine peel to treat spleen deficiency. Grain sprouts have digestion and stomach functions, and their effects are milder than malt, hawthorn, Liuqu, etc., so they can promote digestion without damaging stomach qi. It can also help in the development of macules, has a neutral temperament, and has no contraindications.

I often use grain sprouts with chicken gizzard to generate stomach qi, strengthen the spleen and eliminate food; the two medicines are combined to double the power of opening the spleen to generate stomach qi, soothe the liver, regulate qi, whet the appetite, and increase appetite. ; It can also be used with tangerine peel for loss of appetite and fullness in the chest and epigastrium; Atractylodes atractylodes strengthens the spleen and replenishes qi, which strengthens the spleen and stomach and can digest food, and has the meaning of eliminating and tonic, and is used for spleen deficiency, food stagnation, and indigestion; With Citrus aurantium husk, it can be used to eliminate food stagnation and treat abdominal distention due to qi stagnation and food stagnation;
