This dietary therapy formula is based on the experience of Zhang Xichun, a famous doctor in Hebei Province during the Republic of China. It not only cures diseases, but also satisfies hunger. It is sweet and delicious, and has no harmful effects if taken for a long time. Zhang once treated "a young man who was too lazy to eat because of a cold. He was still working hard on the farm and was exhausted. He developed a labor cough, had a fever at noon, and coughed and spit all night long. Because of his young age, the doctor often used medicines that nourished yin and nourished the kidneys. Add less ginseng and qi. If the treatment does not work for two months, the patient's diet is reduced, the phlegm and saliva are increased, and gradually become unresponsive, and the pulse is weak and stringy, it is known that the lungs and spleen are damaged, so give this prescription. Take it twice a day and you will be fully recovered in half a month." Both yam and coix seed can replenish the spleen and lungs. Yam tends to be sticky and greasy, and may cause a feeling of stuffiness after taking it for a long time. Coix seed tends to have an exudative effect. If the two medicines are used together in equal parts, they can be taken for a long time without any harm. Persimmon frost cake is sweet and cool, moistens the lungs, resolves phlegm, clears away heat and appetizers. It contains mannitol, glucose, fructose, and sucrose. It tastes sweet and has a refreshing feeling, and plays an auxiliary therapeutic role. If there is white persimmon frost instead of persimmon frost cake, the effect will be better.
