Radish seeds are pungent, sweet and warm when used as medicine, and have good effects of "resolving food stagnation, eliminating abdominal distension, reducing qi and resolving phlegm". And there are a lot of records about radish seeds in many classic medical books.
For example, as recorded in "Southern Yunnan Materia Medica", radish seeds can "reduce qi, relieve middle energizer, reduce swelling and phlegm, relieve asthma and relieve cough"; It is also mentioned in the famous Compendium of Materia Medica that radish seeds can "relieve asthma and phlegm, promote digestion and reduce swelling". Although different doctors have different records, the overall effect is the same.
Of course, there are many classic ways to use radish seeds among the people, so I will simply share some with my friends today.
1, indigestion, qi stagnation and other symptoms can be relieved by radish seeds.
Radish seeds are very effective in promoting digestion, promoting qi circulation and relieving bloating, especially for modern people, who often eat too much and lack exercise, and are prone to indigestion and abdominal distension. At this time, you can try to use radish seeds to relieve it.
There is a relatively simple method, that is, directly frying radish seeds in the pot, and then drying in the sun to make tea, which can help us eliminate the food accumulated in the abdomen and eliminate flatulence in the abdomen.
Of course, fried radish seeds can also be used together with fried hawthorn, fried malt and fried divine comedy. It has a better effect of promoting digestion, promoting qi circulation and reducing bloating.
2, cough, asthma and other symptoms can be relieved with radish seeds.
Raphanus sativus L. has a good effect of reducing qi and resolving phlegm, and can relieve chest distress and cough and asthma caused by the rising and falling of lung qi and phlegm and blood stasis.
In medical integration, there is a method of using radish seeds, which is to steam radish seeds, then dry them and grind them into fine powder, then soak them in ginger juice and steam them to make mung bean-sized pills. After taking it, it has the functions of reducing qi, resolving phlegm, relieving cough and asthma.
If used together, Raphanus sativus can be used with ginger, perilla seed, white mustard seed and other medicinal materials, which has better effects of promoting digestion, reducing qi, resolving phlegm and relieving cough.
Of course, radish seeds have many wonderful uses, and I only know a little about them. However, when using radish seeds, it should be noted that radish seeds are spicy and gas-consuming drugs, which are not suitable for people with qi deficiency and weakness. Moreover, we should not eat radish seeds when taking drugs that replenish qi and blood, such as ginseng, because this will reduce the effect of replenishing qi and blood.
