Some time ago was a good time for osmanthus to bloom, walking on the road, a cold fragrance of a cold face, can let a person sweep the fall of sleepy. Don't look at osmanthus scent cold and sweet, it is cold scented flowers in the rare taste of pungent warm flowers. As the weather gets cooler and the winds blow, you can use osmanthus to warm up your child's body and invigorate his or her stomach.

Not only that, osmanthus is a "drilling", can chisel the body does not pass the phlegm, accumulation of silt. If your baby has a cold cough with phlegm, or a cold constitution, you can use cinnamon to regulate it.

Now this time of year, dried cinnamon is more suitable for children than fresh cinnamon. Some parents have reported that their children get dizzy after eating food made with fresh osmanthus - this is because the aroma of fresh osmanthus is too strong. How can osmanthus be scientifically consumed by children, and what therapeutic recipes and tasty pastries can be made from it?

Cinnamon is pungent

It can take care of the lungs and the middle jiao, which are injured by cold

Cinnamon, pungent and warm in flavor and aroma, enters the lungs, the spleen, the stomach, and the large intestine meridians, removes phlegm and dissipates blood stasis, and strengthens the spleen to wake up the spleen. As early as in ancient times, people already know how to make good use of cinnamon. Materia Medica Hui Yan" recorded on the external use of cinnamon: "Where the Yin cold cold gas, obstruction hernia run dolphin, all the cold pain in the abdomen, steaming hot cloth wrapped ironing." For example, a sudden change in the weather, the child did not pay attention to the small stomach cold caused by sudden abdominal pain, at this time you can use hot cloth wrapped in cinnamon flowers ironed in the middle of the focal point, in order to dispel the yin cold. Cinnamon into the soup into the porridge eat into the stomach, but also a wider range of warm in the middle to drive away the cold.

There are 3 main effects of osmanthus:

① Strengthening the spleen and waking up the spleen: osmanthus is aromatic and wakes up the spleen, which can warm the stomach and help digestion. It can regulate the child's cold spleen and stomach, and also make the child appetizing.

② warm lungs and cold: osmanthus is light into the lungs, warm and cold, can cure wind-cold cold, cold lungs, cough, etc.;

③ phlegm dispersal: osmanthus "drill" strength, thanks to its flavor of spicy runaway qualities. Children stagnant phlegm, cold cough with phlegm, can be relieved with cinnamon.

There must be parents will ask, the fall is not to reduce the pungent increase acid? Osmanthus flavored pungent, this time of year is suitable for eating? I suggest that children with cold stomachs and cold spleens, who are prone to daily food accumulation, or those who have a sudden change in weather and cold invasion of the body, take cinnamon for the right reasons. For children who are healthy and not suffering from any illnesses, it is not necessary to use warm osmanthus flowers to regulate the body in daily life, and it is enough to use the Autumn Lemon Drink that I recommend for daily dietary treatment. It is important to note that, for children to eat cinnamon, the dosage should be small, usually used to 2 ~ 3g is enough, otherwise the flavor is too strong.

Cinnamon porridge, cinnamon cake, cinnamon tea ...

Which is suitable for children, which try to eat less?

There are many foods that are cooked with cinnamon, but not all of them are suitable for children. When you give your child food cinnamon, you should choose a lighter food, the child ate, not only can tonic, but also will not add burden to the spleen and stomach.

1. Osmanthus congee: cure cold lungs, help stomach gas

Recently, many parents asked me, autumn children should eat what therapeutic formula to regulate the body. In fact, the choice of suitable ingredients to cook porridge, you can give the child a better tonic.

The role of hot porridge is not only good for digestion, but also to help the stomach gas. The growth of grains depends on the sunshine and the land's vitality, after cooking into porridge, this characteristic is brought into the porridge together, so the porridge is the most warm and nourishing spleen and stomach. The different herbs in the congee, the congee water can also neutralize the effect of medicine, more gentle to the child.

If the child has a lung cold cough, parents can add cinnamon to the porridge to help the child treat lung cold, dissipate the cold evil, and help the stomach qi.

Cinnamon porridge

Suitable for age: 3 years old and above to the evidence, a small amount of times divided into doses. It can be taken for serotonin disease.

The reason why cinnamon goes down after is to retain the light fragrance of cinnamon, which goes straight to the upper jiao and is more conducive to nourishing the lungs, and has a more pronounced effect on resolving phlegm and relieving coughs, and relieving throat discomfort.

Before eating also pay attention to the identification, the child really belongs to the lung cold cough can eat. If it is a hot cough, eating cinnamon will only eat more and more cough.

Lung cold cough: wind-cold cough, cold, cold, runny nose, sparse white sputum or no sputum dry cough, tongue coating white.

Cough due to heat in the lungs: coughing up yellow sputum, dry mouth and sore throat, red tongue, thin yellow moss or yellowish greasy.

2. Osmanthus tea: to give children with cold spleen and stomach to warm the middle jiao

Add 2g~3g of cinnamon to the brewed tea, and add a small amount of brown sugar to flavor it if the child has a slight cold.

The child if the "sad autumn" mood is obvious, and once in the fall, sleepy, weak, especially "wilting", usually eat and have no appetite, it is more suitable to take Tianxiang soup.

4. Cinnamon cake: spleen and tranquility, not all children can eat

Unlike the previous 3 kinds of porridge tea, cinnamon cake contains glutinous rice, the child's digestive ability is relatively high, coupled with the nature of cinnamon taste warm, so not all children can eat.

Not suitable for eating osmanthus cake: accumulation of food, sick children can not eat; there are hot evidence of children can not eat; can not eat every day, osmanthus should not be excessive.

6. cinnamon sugar: can be a small amount of flavor

There are parents asked me, the recent market hot seasonal cinnamon sugar, can buy back to the child water service. A small amount of cinnamon sugar for flavoring is possible, but it is not recommended to give your child a daily drink.

When the child to make some of the more moist, cool sugar water, such as we have previously introduced the horseshoe rhododendron sugar water, steamed pears, etc., it is possible to add cinnamon sugar, and reconcile the sexual flavor and sweetness.

Sweet-smelling cinnamon food, and delicious and therapeutic, you may want to do at home to the children to try.
