1978, I was born in an old house with a history of two or three hundred years.
The old house is an adobe house with many mice.
The mother who just gave birth was stunned by a giant mouse jumping on the kang.
Fortunately, my father knew a thing or two about acupuncture, and soon he tied up several first-aid points.
It was several hours before my mother woke up leisurely.
My mother was shocked at that time and has lost her appetite since then. She can only eat a few bowls of noodles every meal, but there is always a feeling of convenience. Traditional Chinese medicine calls this urgency.
"Zhang Yitong" said: Although husband's shock dominates husband's heart, it has both liver, gallbladder and spleen and stomach. ? Scare will obviously affect the function of digestive system. After being frightened, the qi in the body is disordered and wet, so I am upset and don't eat, and I am anxious and then heavy.
Multi-party medical care is invalid.
I still want to breastfeed. My mother is getting thinner and thinner, but she is still dragging her sick body around.
One day that summer, grandpa's family was repairing the house, and mom went to help cook.
At that time, the countryside was poor, and grandma found some leeks to make cold dishes in the wild and sprinkled some minced garlic.
Mother suddenly had an appetite and ate a big bowl of water chestnut.
After eating, my stomach is very uncomfortable and I have diarrhea.
The next day, my appetite was wide open and my diarrhea stopped.
More than half a year's ills have been swept away.
Thirty-eight years have passed, and my mother's stomach is fine, leaving no sequelae.
After listening to my mother's story, my eyes were red and my heart was full of guilt.
Being a mother is not easy!
Really? But how much love there is in that inch-long grass, have you got three rays of spring? Ah!
Water chestnut is actually a beet leaf.
Beets are also called leeks and sugar radishes. There are beets, leaf beets, root beets and feed beets.
All kinds of beets can be called water chestnut, and water chestnut in a narrow sense generally refers to leaf beets.
As for why beet is called water chestnut, Li Shizhen didn't make it clear.
Water chestnut tastes sweet, bitter and cold, and has the effects of clearing away heat and toxic materials, removing blood stasis and stopping bleeding.
