Yang Er called these three herbs the Three Musketeers of Cold and Cold.
Swordsman 1: perilla leaves
Speaking of perilla leaves, I think of perilla everywhere in front of and behind the house where I rented a house when I was a child.
When asked, it stinks. We all call it smelly perilla
I don't know what this smelly perilla is for, but later I heard from my elders that it can be used to fry rotten meat or fish.
I just heard from my family that this perilla leaf can be used to fry rotten meat.
It's just that some pork and fish accidentally stink. It's a pity to throw it away, but it tastes bad. What should I do?
At this time, perilla leaves will be used to fry meat. Pick a handful of perilla leaves, wash them, throw them in and fry them together for a few times, and the smell of rotten meat will be completely removed.
Moreover, the rotten meat fried in this way has a special taste. It's delicious.
This is all my memories of perilla leaves when I was a child.
Later, after going to school, I learned Chinese medicine to know that perilla has so many wonderful uses.
Perilla leaf is also called perilla leaf. I once wrote an article calling her "Little Susu". She is the leaf of perilla frutescens, a labiatae plant.
According to Compendium of Materia Medica, she is pungent and warm, and specializes in treating lung and spleen.
As long as it is lung problems, spleen and stomach problems, many can be treated with her. How to use it?
She has a strong personality and may disagree. She is a cool little woman, always disagreeing. She can use it to deal with colds.
So, as long as you are disturbed by the cold, you can use her to sweat away the cold.
In addition, she has a special smell, and people who like her say it is fragrance. What I don't like is the bad smell, but it is this special smell that can awaken the spleen and stomach.
If you have flatulence and vomiting due to moisture, at this time, use a little perilla leaf to remove moisture and stomach.
Of course, this kind of Su Wei lady is best at detoxifying shrimps and crabs, so when you want to cook shrimps and crabs, grab a handful and put it in, which can dispel dampness and turn turbid and repel the Shui Han poison of shrimps and crabs.
Why does Su Ye have such characteristics?
Spring grows, summer flourishes, and autumn withers. So spring and summer are the most popular.
Because the seeds mature in autumn, perilla frutescens has the function of lowering qi, and perilla frutescens stems have the function of regulating middle qi and lower qi.
You see, the woody stems are the most scattered outside the leaves, and the perilla stems are the most effective in harmonizing the upper and lower parts and dredging the qi-flowing. As a result, the qi-flowing opportunities will converge and decrease in autumn.
Therefore, perilla is divided into two parts.
Leaves are used for dispersing exterior and sweating, and for treating wind and cold.
Perilla stems harmonize up and down, and harmonize qi activity. A passage for ventilation,
Seeds have astringent properties and are used to reduce qi and treat cough.
Finally, summarize the application of perilla.
Pay attention to use
Of course, because perilla leaves are scattered outside, people with qi deficiency cannot use them for a long time.
People with qi deficiency and sweating are not suitable for eating;
Besides, Su Ye relies on her fragrant nature, so she can't cook for a long time, but she can brew or cook soup.
Generally speaking, Yang Er likes to grab a handful of dried perilla leaves and soak them in a thermos when he has a slight cold and a stuffy nose. The tea is ready. After drinking half a cup, your nose will be smooth.
In addition, Zhang Zhongjing also used perilla leaves to treat chronic inflammation and sore throat other than colds.
"Synopsis of the Golden Chamber: Twenty-two Syndrome Differentiation and Treatment of Women's Miscellaneous Diseases" points out: "Banxia Houpu Decoction is the main drug for treating women's throat." The so-called "burning" is a metaphor commonly used in Chinese medicine. When phlegm is blocked in the throat, it cannot be spit out and swallowed. The ancients called it "plum nuclear gas".
That is to say, I feel a lump of gas or a lump of cotton pattern stuck in my throat, so I can't spit it out and swallow it. In fact, what modern western medicine thinks is chronic pharyngitis.
This kind of chronic pharyngitis is very troublesome to straighten, and there is almost no way for western medicine. Our Chinese medicine can still cure it. Among them, Banxia Houpu Decoction is a very famous prescription.
Here, there is a very important medicine, that is, perilla leaves shared with you today.
Banxia Houpu decoction is from synopsis of golden chamber.
Perilla leaves are fragrant, dispersing lung, smoothing qi and broadening chest, which helps Magnolia officinalis smooth qi and broaden chest. * * * is the Minister of Medicine. Ginger and stomach can stop vomiting, and Pinellia ternata can control toxicity, which is an adjuvant medicine. When the five drugs are used together, hard and bitter can reduce adverse reactions, warm and expectorant, and * * * has the functions of promoting qi circulation, dispersing stagnation, reducing adverse reactions and expectorant.

Decoct rhizoma Pinelliae, cortex Magnolia officinalis, fructus Perillae, Poria, and rhizoma Zingiberis Recens, and stagnate phlegm and qi in Mei Cheng nucleus, thereby reducing reflux, relieving depression and tranquilizing mind.
Banxia Houpu Decoction can be said to be a special prescription for treating plum blossom qi. The main manifestations are: first, the disease is located in the throat, and second, the disease is mostly abnormal self-perception, such as plum pit stuffed in the throat, but it does not interfere with diet, hence the name.
Western medicine calls this disease pharyngeal foreign body disease, or pharyngeal neurosis, hysteria and so on. Mainly related to the spirit, it is a functional disease, which tends to be subjective and uncomfortable, and there are not many problems in the examination.
There is no good way for western medicine to treat this disease. This Chinese medicine prescription has played a great role.
