Recommend a simple and effective cough medicine-scrambled eggs with sesame oil

This article is taken from Helen's blog post.

The weather turned cold and dry in autumn, and many friends around me coughed, and I was not spared. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the five internal organs belong to the lung in autumn, and the "dryness" evil in wind, cold, summer, dampness and dryness directly damages the lung, so autumn can be said to be the season of lung injury. The lung governs qi, breathing and fur, so the direct consequences of lung injury are respiratory problems and skin problems. This is also the reason why so many people have a sudden attack or recurrence of skin diseases such as cough and eczema at this time.

Fortunately, I was accompanied by my mother, so my cough was quickly controlled. The method is very simple, that is, fry an egg with fragrant oil every day, without adding salt or any other seasoning, and eat it while it is hot when you get up on an empty stomach in the morning and your throat is dry. Mom said that when I was a child, I could solve the problem by coughing and eating three scrambled eggs with sesame oil. At this time, my family always joked that I must be greedy for eggs. I don't remember many interesting things in my mind, but the effect of scrambled eggs with sesame oil on cough has been tested in practice. Last winter, my father coughed badly because he stayed up late. Eat scrambled eggs with sesame oil every day, and he will be fine. And my recent cough is more from burning wood after the anger rises. Jean, who is far away from the other side of the ocean, had obvious cough symptoms when he called me, saying that he had a cold. I told her this method, and a week later she called to tell me that the symptoms basically disappeared. It can be seen that this kind of scrambled eggs with sesame oil has certain curative effect on various types of cough.

So why does sesame oil eggs have this effect? According to Depei Materia Medica, sesame oil enters the large intestine meridian. Lung and large intestine are the difference between exterior and interior, so sesame oil is helpful to relieve diseases mainly caused by large intestine meridian and lung meridian. For example, drinking a mouthful of sesame oil on an empty stomach every morning and evening can play a role in moistening dryness and relaxing bowels, and has a good effect on habitual constipation. Similarly, drinking sesame oil regularly can ventilate and regulate the lungs, which can not only reduce the damage of cough and various foreign bodies (such as alcohol and tobacco) to the lungs, but also enhance the elasticity of vocal cords and have a good recovery effect on chronic pharyngitis. However, eggs enter the spleen and stomach. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that spleen and lung meridians belong to Taiyin meridians, while stomach and large intestine meridians belong to Yangming meridians. The role of eggs in nourishing lung and blood, nourishing yin and moistening dryness can be seen from this. The combination of sesame oil and eggs can be described as congenial and bring out the best in each other. In fact, many people and things in life, seemingly insignificant, often play a role of four or two. We often struggle to find the so-called secret recipe, but often ignore that the real secret recipe is around us.
