Moreover, there are many records about the medicinal value of kitchen soil in some famous ancient herbal books, so I will share one or two with my friends below.
"Famous Doctors' Bielu": Hearts and soil control vomiting blood, relieving cough, relieving carbuncle and swelling.
Compendium of Materia Medica: Kitchen Hearts are dedicated to the spleen and stomach, relieving heartache, madness and sores.
"Rihuazi Herbal Medicine": The kitchen soil stops bleeding, hematuria and children's night crying.
It can be seen that the application scope of kitchen soil in ancient times is still relatively wide. Of course, the words of the ancients are not all right. Should we? Take its essence and discard its dross? Only then can we rationally realize the use value of Chinese herbal medicine. Let's share some wonderful uses of kitchen soil with friends.
1, the application of kitchen soil in warming spleen to stop bleeding and diarrhea.
After years of smoky fire, kitchen soil is naturally mild. For people with cold and weak spleen, kitchen soil can play a good role in warming spleen.
Moreover, the kitchen soil itself is also soil, slightly astringent, so it also has a certain effect in convergence and astringency.
For example, some people with spleen-stomach deficiency and cold, often accompanied by limb chills and sallow skin color, can use kitchen soil as medicine to warm spleen-yang and stop bleeding if they have hematemesis, blood in stool and nose bleeding in their lives.
However, if the stool is not formed for a long time, the diarrhea is not healed for a long time, and there is cold pain in the abdomen, etc., it can also be effective to take it directly with the kitchen soil decoction. Or it can be used together with herbs such as Atractylodes macrocephala, Codonopsis pilosula, Nutmeg, Corydalis tuber, etc. with better efficacy.
2. The application of heartsoil in regulating stomach and stopping vomiting.
Kitchen soil is mild in nature, and its texture is biased, so it has the effect of reducing adverse conditions. For example, the stomach is full of qi, the stomach is cold and nauseous, nausea and nausea, etc., which are common in life. Kitchen soil can also be used.
For example, in the ancient times, when the stomach qi went up and the nausea was uncomfortable, the kitchen soil was often ground into fine powder, and then served with hot rice soup, which had the effect of lowering the stomach.
For the cases of vomiting caused by the upward movement of stomach-qi, the combination of heartwood with perilla leaf, perilla stem, Amomum villosum, cardamom and other medicinal materials can also play the role of promoting the circulation of qi, regulating the stomach and stopping vomiting.
In some folk places, when people suffer from vomiting, the fragments of the old yellow crock are often decocted together with the kitchen soil to stop vomiting. Although this is a folk remedy, it often plays a good role.
3, the stove soil can be used externally to treat sores and stop bleeding.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that kitchen soil has certain functions of detoxifying, dispelling pathogenic factors, promoting qi circulation and stopping bleeding, so kitchen soil can also be used for common diseases such as toxic sores and minor traumatic bleeding on the skin.
Kitchen soil is often used externally to relieve skin sores and carbuncles. The ancients used to mix kitchen soil with sesame oil and then stir it into a paste. External application can cure sores and carbuncles.
I believe that many friends in rural areas still have this experience. When the skin is slightly injured and bleeds in a small time, the family will directly apply some loess surface to the wound, so that it can stop bleeding.
If the powder of kitchen soil is used to relieve minor skin trauma, its hemostatic effect is better.
