Why do you need to steam and dry it over and over again?

This is "Nine Steaming and Nine Sun-drying", which is often seen in the processing of traditional Chinese medicine. Rehmannia glutinosa, angelica, aconite and other medicinal materials usually need to be steamed and sun-dried nine times in order to maximize their strengths and avoid their weaknesses and give full play to their efficacy. There is a lot of knowledge here.

For sesame seeds, first of all, this is to make sesame seeds easy to digest. As we all know, sesame seeds are very difficult to digest. If you eat too much sesame seeds, your stool will turn black. Once tested, you will find that a lot of sesame seeds are still the same and have not been digested at all. We ordinary people usually only fry sesame seeds once and then eat them. In fact, such sesame seeds are still close to raw sesame seeds. They are very greasy and difficult to digest. Once they pass through the stomach and intestines, the human body will not benefit from it, but will suffer from it. .

After nine steamings, the nutrients in the sesame seeds are fully decomposed, the greasiness is greatly reduced, and they become things that are easy for the human body to absorb; after nine times of drying, the sesame seeds gain the energy of the sun, which is very important in health care. It seems that it has obtained the yang energy from heaven and earth. Although it cannot be seen or touched, it is of great benefit to the human body.
