Help digestion: big hawthorn pill
The main ingredients of hawthorn pill are hawthorn, malt and medicated leaven. This medicine has a good effect of relaxing bowels and helping digestion, especially for food stagnation in the stomach. If you don't digest greasy food, taking one tablet will usually relieve the symptoms in about 20 minutes.
Besides hawthorn pill, caramel can also help digestion, but now it is sold less in pharmacies. You can ask the store that sells sugar-fried chestnuts. Maybe you can buy caramel there.
Runchang laxative: Ophiopogon japonicus
Constipation is a common disease in life, especially in the elderly and women. For this reason, Director Wang prescribed a slightly sweet "liquid-increasing soup". You can buy 30 grams of Radix Scrophulariae, 24 grams of Radix Rehmanniae, 24 grams of Radix Ophiopogonis, eight cups of water, boil three cups, and add 60 ml of honey, and take it three times. Zengye decoction can increase gastrointestinal peristalsis, and the effect of moistening intestine is very obvious. Not only that, zengye decoction has a good effect of drying dampness in winter, but diabetic patients should use it with caution.
Cough relieving and phlegm resolving: Kumquat Pill
You can eat kumquat pills or drink Chuanbei loquat dew when you cough on weekdays. Chuanbei loquat dew is sweet and cool, has a good cough relieving effect, and is especially suitable for children. Children can eat less, such as drinking three teaspoons each time, six or seven times a day. Director Wang reminded that when there is a lot of phlegm, it is best to use Chuanbei loquat dew with fresh bamboo juice to eliminate phlegm and relieve cough. However, fresh bamboo juice is not suitable for those with cold limbs, white phlegm, greasy fur or loose stool.
