The first time I learned that perilla came from the dish "" Stir-fried snails", the special fragrance of perilla can remove the muddy smell of the snails and add flavor to the dish. Later I found that many people use it When eating barbecue, it is natural to wrap the barbecue with a piece of perilla leaf. It was not until recently that I learned that perilla is not only a seasoning, but also a commonly used medicinal material in traditional Chinese medicine. In the eyes of Chinese medicine, perilla has a mild and gentle nature! Chinese medicinal materials with a pungent taste are mainly classified into the lung meridian and spleen meridian of the human body, and Chinese medicine believes that perilla has a unique effect in treating diseases. 1.

If you have symptoms of cold and cold such as chills, cough, shortness of breath, etc., you can eat perilla in moderation. Generally, perilla can be combined with ginger, tangerine peel, patchouli and other medicinal materials, or you can use perilla directly. Drinking the leaves soaked in water can help patients with colds and colds dispel the cold. 2. Antipyretic and antipyretic.

In addition to taking perilla for sweating, some patients with fever can take perilla tea or wipe the skin with perilla water to promote sweating, which can relieve fever symptoms such as dizziness and headache. 3. Antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and enhance resistance. Scientists have studied purple perilla. Su Ye did clinical research. They injected perilla extract into test tubes containing Staphylococcus aureus and found that the activity of Staphylococcus aureus was inhibited. This means that Perilla has certain antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, especially for those who are weak. People taking perilla can improve their own immunity. 4. Promote gastrointestinal motility. Experiments have shown that the extract from perilla root can improve the peristalsis of the gastrointestinal tract of mice, and traditional Chinese medicine also uses perilla stems and tangerine peel. The combination of medicinal materials such as Gallus gallus gallus L. and Poria cocos is used to treat gastrointestinal discomfort symptoms such as epigastric bloating or inability to eat. 5. Tocolytic perilla has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, gastrointestinal and other effects, which are very suitable for pregnant women, especially for pregnant women. For pregnant women with fetal movement symptoms, taking perilla with medicinal materials such as tangerine peel can improve pregnancy reactions such as fetal movement and vomiting. Some people like the special aroma of perilla, but others are repelled. In fact, the leaves of perilla and purple perilla. Su’s roots have very significant effects, so what should you pay attention to when eating perilla on a daily basis? 2 things to tell you first: perilla is contraindicated: perilla can cause sweating, but it is not suitable for patients with wind-heat and colds. ; People with weak spleen and stomach such as fatigue, qi deficiency, and spontaneous sweating should not eat perilla, as it can easily aggravate the symptoms of physical weakness; perilla can increase blood sugar, so diabetic patients should eat perilla with caution.
