Lotus root, like lotus root, grows in ponds or rivers, and grows in deep underground places, and it needs to be excavated to get it. But unlike the lotus root, the lotus root belt is shallower than the lotus root, and the lotus or lotus leaf is connected above the lotus root belt. So the ratio is relatively easy to get.
Lotus root belt, also known as lotus root cabbage, is a lotus (lotus plant. ), composed of internodes and terminal buds at the top of rhizome. Lotus root belt and lotus root are homologous organs. When the conditions are suitable, the lotus root will become lotus root (so, accurately speaking, lotus root is an enlarged rhizome), also known as lotus root whip, lotus root hairpin and lotus root cabbage.
On the medicinal value of lotus root.
Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica records that "lotus root" (lotus root belt) is sweet in taste, flat in nature and non-toxic, and quoted Song's Materia Medica as saying that "lotus root belt is the main indication for raw food, and it can be used for relieving alcohol poisoning if you are thirsty and bored after cholera". In addition, Compendium of Materia Medica quoted Wang Ying's Edible Materia Medica (A.D. 1620), saying that the lotus root has the function of "removing troubles and removing blood stasis". Li Shizhen also said that Lotus Root Band "has the same merits as Lotus Root". Lotus root band is non-toxic, is a sweet-smelling food, and can also play the role of clearing away heat and toxic materials, which is good for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.
